Description

A wonderfully lurid issue of the long-running National Police Gazette capturing American popular culture at the height of 1963. Elizabeth Taylor dominates the cover with stories surrounding her adopted daughter, while inside readers find an eclectic mix of celebrity gossip, true crime, sports, politics, and international curiosities that made the magazine such an enduring supermarket staple.

Highlights include an early feature asking whether Cassius Clay was “Fighter or Fake?” just months before he shocked the boxing world by defeating Sonny Liston. Also present are articles on Joan Collins, baseball managers, Fidel Castro, Paris’s Moulin Rouge, Rome’s red-light district, world-record athletes, and the wonderfully over-the-top vintage advertisement promising riches through a home rubber stamp business. Packed with period photography, bold headlines, and unmistakable mid-century graphic design, this is an entertaining snapshot of pre-Beatles America.

An appealing issue for collectors of boxing, Muhammad Ali, Elizabeth Taylor, Hollywood, true crime, and vintage American magazines.
