This Erle Stanley Gardner story in ARGOSY, Sept. 1961 has a nice illustration by Lou Feck. The caption made me chuckle: "Ed, I've got to undress. You've got to find some way of getting my clothes out of here." Scan via the Men's Adventure Magazines & Books Facebook Group (bit.ly/mensadventureFB.)

I love this masterful painting by Mort Künstler on the cover of ADVENTURE, November 1956. It goes with a story about a military frogman who guided a defective torpedo away from a British sub during World War II. (Scan via the Men's Adventure Magazines Facebook Group-> bit.ly/mensadventureFB.)
