Ted Mark was the pen name of Theodore Mark Gottfried and became particularly associated with the comic Man from O.R.G.Y. spy novels. The books parody the international superspy fiction popular during the 1960s while mixing espionage, farce and adult humor. The Ted Mark Reader collects shorter pieces originally published in men\'s magazines.
