You need MANLY ADVENTURES.
The complete Richard Blade series (1969-84). Adult violent/sexy fantasy junk extraordinaire! Completely shameless manly pulp on every level, like most of the series characters created to get young men to buy fiction: John Carter, Conan, Tarzan, Ka-Zar, The Shadow, Doc Savage, Mike Shayne, Shell Scott, Travis McGee, Remo Williams (The Destroyer), Mack Bolan (The Executioner, and its spin-off series, Phoenix Force), Richard Camelion (The Death Merchant), and Nick Carter (from Master Detective to Killmaster), etc.

Lots of good stuff from early 20th cent: the lost world, king solomons mines, almost anything by Kipling.
