Man’s Life concentrated on covers of combat action and threatening animals (Weasels ripped etc.)
Here are three covers with slightly different artwork but exactly the same snake threat (OK one is giant, another is 20 feet and the other is 30. Would it make a difference to you if you were being attacked?) With three for one, I will only skim the blurbs.

“Jailbait Run Wild” Something needs to be done!
“Dig us out before we die” Please don’t wait until after!
“Americans are lousy lovers” News? “Women prefer foreign lovers” News? Grass is greener. Gals, they will prove just as insensitive in the long run and have inferior personal hygiene.
“Attacked by a Giant Boa” not a feather one! Any of you gals afraid of snakes?

“Philadelphia, Pa. Week-end Paradise Pickup” Why didn’t anyone tell me when I lived there for 30 years?
“Eaten Alive on a Bed of Gold” “American Males are Afraid of Sex” Do these two stories go together?
“Crushed by 20 feet of Coiling Death” 20 feet! Any of you gals afraid of snakes?

“America’s 25 best hunting spots” for game or gals? Or both?
“Shocking P-Town” tip of Cape Cod, passion paradise (try cruising there in January!)
“Panic flames slow death” Smoky the Bear with fire safety tips
“Bashful Brides have ruined the American Male” Assuming he wasn’t ruined already! Actually, a catching title – you ask, how could they? A must read!
“Thirty feet of Writhing Hell” 30 feet now, and still growing! Any of you gals afraid of snakes?
More on this one later. But note we have a snake and a nurse!
