“It Takes a He-Man to be a G-Man” with a physical fitness advertisement at the bottom by Charles Atlas.
Charles Atlas was a famous bodybuilder from the 1920s to the 1960s, known for winning "World's Most Perfectly Developed Man" in 1922 and later for his print-advertisement cartoons promoting his Dynamic-Tension fitness course in the back of comic books. One of the most prominent elements on the page is the quote, “You too can have a body like mine!” which runs alongside the comic story as the main character undergoes a physical transformation after a woman rejects him for being a weakling. I believe this advertisement matters because it shows an early form of media that demonstrates how society’s beauty standards could shape young children's views of themselves.
