They do seem to be a world wide favorite. However if you prefer something more ethnic in your sexploitation Creepy had some excellent issues in the mid seventies. The story "Second Childhood" was actually a good story. Despite the white washing of the cover character the one inside was most black. Stories like that kept me reading past the pubescent boyhood these were aimed at. The story. Not any particular black girl festish.

Reminds me of McDonalds "Border Town Girl" cover. Anyway, on that link there is a Planet Stories cover by Allen Anderson that I have on my wall. I have most of those I want.

I just can't bring myself to bid the hundred and up it seems to always bring. I got most of mine for less than thirty. The one above I think for ten. Notice it has an early Poul Anderson story? I'm glad these were around to further the careers of authors I like. Anyway the one I can't seem to get-

The mid fifties saw a crackdown on lurid horror. Although the nakedness of the thirties had already gone, horror knew no bounds as for gore. It was the age of gore. It was the age of EC comics. Shock Suspense Stories, Crime Suspense Stories, Black Cat, Haunt of Fear, Vault of Horror, and the one most know, Tales From the Crypt. The covers showed hangings, a gun blowing someones brains out, heads being cut off, people buried alive, sharks gnashing at legs, rotting corpses, and the usual array of werewolves, vampires, and demons. Things a growing boy needs. Things a stick up the ass psychiatrist named Fredrick Wertham would not allow. His book "Seduction of the Innocent" put an end to that. There were some lovely stories before then though. Stories replicated on film in horror for decades to come. I have a few of them.
