I remember when I was 7 I wanted to read those stories. My mom never let me, and called it "fake trash".
Yeah. I love fake trash. Thats why I love 80s/90s pro-wrestling. Macho Man Randy Savage was 5'10. Which in pro-wrestling world of the 1980s is essentially a midget. But he put on colorful tassles, and had an amazing wardrobe person. He became bigger than life. He was a total character. He fought in fake fights on tv, in a sport so deviated from its orgin material that it may as well not even be called pro-wrestling. It's fake trash and I loved it!
Then I saw one of these magazines, and was like "Uhhhh, moon boy finds love on mars??? Yes please!"
But mom said no.
Then, years later when I was into my 30s, she asked why I thought pro-wrestling was real.
Uhhhhhhhh......I don't. No one does. I was 7 and knew it was fake. I didn't know how many of the performers were on cocaine, or how many drugs they were on.....but I knew it was all a performance, and not a sport.
.......I never did get to read those magazines.
And the WWN was the same, good ol' entertainment.
There was an edition with Nixon in drag that was there worst Photoshop, it was clearly two photos pasted together. Hilarious! My mom thought it was the funniest thing she ever saw. But she never for a second thought it was real.
Oooooooh, depending on year, I bet that was just shortly after his death. Which is why his name would have been topical at the time.
