Very nice Andreas - the second Spillane cover has been pirated from the U.S. Crest edition of Peter O'Donnell's "Sabre-tooth", the second Modesty Blaise novel. Cover art by Robert McGinnis shows Modesty performing her trademark 'Nailer'.

Cover art by Robert McGinnis shows Modesty performing her trademark 'Nailer'. Back then covers often were bought wholesale through foreign agents, especially for genre lines. That is the reason why so few covers match the original. They either just slapped a random cover on the novel or made one of those often abominable photocovers. Modesty Blase. So that is one of the originals. There are so many editions of this, nice to know.

As usual, Dem does me a huge disservice - "Covers with bird's arses on" indeed - I was actually trying to show how publishers have used a back view to hint at nudity without showing much at all ah! i've got you now. you mean, tasteful, like? won't be needing this one, then ... Guy Bellamy - The Secret Lemonade Drinker (Penguin, 1988: originally Secker & Warburg, 1977) Keith Richens Blurb Before Bobby met and married Caroline he believed in sex, drink and a good time. He still does.
In his infinite wisdom Dr Grimshaw has proclaimed Bobby as sterile as a surgeon's knife; since his wife's raison d'être is to become the mother of four, a little marital disharmony ensues. When Bobby's best friend and boss, Roland (candidate for the Nobel Prize in celibacy), hears of Caroline's plight, he feels sure he can help her out. (He's all heart, Roland.) Meanwhile, Josie walks into Bobby's life and undresses ...

I've neglected this thread for far too long: First published in the U.S by Gold Medal in 1955, this undated Australian edition is circa 1970. I'd love to know more about Eclipse Books - they reprinted a load of Gold Medal crime paperbacks all with naked woman on the cover (and rarely a back view as this one is), as they strike me as, possibly, an Aussie equivalent of the British Triphammer Books of the early 70's that Justin covered in Paperback Confidential # 13.

Loading an image on here used to be easy, now it isn't - bollocks. That's fixed it, and what a delightful cover. Thanks for sharing. Sev. Will ransack the dem arse gallery later as I think there may be some more to add.

I've told you before, Dem - it's backs, not arses. I'm trying to be tasteful here, and you insist on lowering the tone!

Shockingly, Bob West makes Adventures Of A Private Eye a better book than the film deserves (though it is the best of the Adventure movies, which isn't saying much). As for that Star book of 'Victorian' erotica - I wonder of that's genuine of a knock-off - Star were notorious for getting hacks to write cod-Victoriana and passing it off as the real thing. Copyright free Victorian stuff may have looked more lucrative on paper, but finding it was a bugger and there was enough money in sales to warrant hiring a hack.

Here is another one I hope photobucket doesn´t swallow This Cimiteria No29, one of those italian horror comics from the 70s. They had a colour cover and b/w art inside, 30 pages long in a digest format, one or two panels a page. There was a lot of nudity and sex from the begining, but it became horror-porn in the later years. And they had a level of violence still not reached in todays movies like Hostel or Saw. Over at Curt Purcell´s Groovy Age of Horror groovyageofhorror.blogspot.com/are a lot of scans of those fumetti, as they were called. Cimiteria was the adventures of a reanimated corpse - the blonde - hanging around with her friend Quasimodo - the dwarf - and having weird period piece adventures. And I mean weird. Not even a Moffett novel had such crazy concepts than these comics. For what it's worth, here are some of those "Fumetti" covers, thanks to somebody putting them on a well-known social media site and bringing them to my attention.
