Re: The German "Bravo" magazine
Yes, I agree. Those nice 50's designs have gone by now. The articles, in the mid-sixties, are also less worthwile. But they do get better in the years coming...Colin.Bee wrote: December 22nd, 2025, 4:37 am The spreads inside are not so nicely designed, but the front cover is great.

I think that at least two pages from the topic above are from 1960 because we see Elvis with the Sergeant rank leaving Germany and then Elvis back in the USA. Probably you wrote 1959 instead of 1960 for "Issue 13, 1959. I'll be back!" and "Issue 21, 1959. Hello Bravo... this is Hollywood". But maybe I'm wrong.
By the way, thanks again, your chronological is a very good idea.
You've never walked in that man's shoes or seen things through his eyes
Or stood and watched with helpless hands while the heart inside you dies
So help your brother along the road no matter where you start
For the God that made you, made them too
