Following the enormous success of the instant cult classic BAD MAGS Vol 1, the hotly anticipated BAD MAGS Vol 2 picks up where its predecessor left off, scraping the nasty depths of magazine and tabloid pop lit.

In fact BAD MAGS Vol 2 is probably even more SHOCKING, KITSCH, SEXY and OUTRAGEOUS. Chapters are divided into subject categories for easy reference, such as SEXPLOITATION, SHARON TATE and CHARLES MANSON, ED WOOD JR, OUTLAW BIKERS, the OCCULT, the MOB and PUNK. Packed with even more RARE and INCREDIBLE IMAGES than BAD MAGS Vol 1, BAD MAGS Vol 2 is guaranteed to SHOCK, ASTOUND and EXCITE readers.

Author Tom Brinkmann has spoken with many of the individuals responsible for these magazines, some of whom are referenced here for the first time. BAD MAGS Vol 2 also provides comprehensive background details on the creators and often maverick publishers, along with plenty of anecdotal information, mind bending extracts and hundreds of rare photos and cover reproductions.
