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... ;)

Thanks for this topic, even if I don't read German (I studied it when I was in school but I failled).
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.
