I love this because a woman is in charge but that’s still not the most practical pirate uniform. This cover is from 1960.

This hot number of a cover is from 1967. The doctor’s face is in the shadows but the cover assures us that he’s “virile.”

Enjoy the 4th With These Vintage Fireworks!
My family has always been a fireworks family. Every 4th of July, when I was growing up, my family would celebrate the 4th of July in Arkansas. My Uncle would always drive me and my sisters and our cousins all over Arkansas and Oklahoma and we would stop at every fireworks stand that we found. He would buy us all as many fireworks as we wanted. My cousins always wanted something that would blow up and make a lot of noise. I liked the sparklers and the black cubes that would turn into snakes. Lisa and I always wanted to get anything that had a cat or a bat (like the ones above) on the label. We would get so excited whenever we spotted a new fireworks stand.
Here to help both you and me get into the 4th of July mood are some great fireworks labels! If you bought enough of these, you know that 4th was going to be a good one.
Remember, like Marilyn Monroe says, enjoy your fireworks safely!

The Covers of Ace G-Men Stories
From 1936 through 1942. Ace G-Men Stories published stories of FBI agents battling gangsters and, eventually, foreign spies. Among the many regular features in the magazine were the stories of the Suicide Squad, a group of four FBI agents who took on the jobs and the missions that were too dangerous for everyone else. Today, the magazine is highly sought by collectors because of its exciting and very pulpy covers.
Here’s a sampling of the covers of Ace G-Men Stories!
