• Attack
One thing we manly men enjoy, besides womanly women, is
a good war movie or war book. "He fired low to break bones and spill guts!"
(Attitude is everything). Oh sure, chainsaws are cool, but there's nothing quite
like hanging on to a machine gun and SPRAYING HOT LEAD! |

Embassy Girl •
Long before Monicagate, innocent girls
were drawn to politicians who were drawn to innocent girls. Our story features
Mary Allison as the Embassy Girl, plus Rod Cameron and J. Grimly Carelton. You
guess: one is the love interest and one is the bad guy. Care for a cigar? |

• Cotton Country
Ah, the timeless lure of po' white
trash! "Her father would horse-whip her if he knew!" Written in dialect,
like where Tessie says, "Gimme yo comb." I like the blurb, "Enormous Power",
right there by the dude's, um, pocket. |

Cornered! •
Wotta cover! Nice, simple layout: a zippy
title font, a little skin, and a vacant stare. The story? Tony wants to kill
the dame that sent his brother up. Bob will protect her, for a price... |

• The Blackboard Jungle
A classic juvie title with a "realistic"
cover: one tough-as-nails, bowtie-wearin' teacher plus three menacing "youths", one with
a fist, one with a blade, and one with other means of persuassion. To Sir, indeed.

Meet two-fisted Fritzi, who runs the saloon,
gambling joint, and bordello in Chuckawalla, but can't handle her sensitive daughter,
Paula. "Cuss me back, you prissy little #*@$%*!"

• Desire In The Streets
"He Took What He Wanted - From Women and
Life." Only, because he was sorta geekly, he sometimes had to pay for it. In this
scene, three charity workers, Flora, Fauna, and Merriweather, accept Visa or Mastercard.

Beat Beat Beat •
The Squares - as soon as they spot a
trend, they exploit it. Here, they "do" the Beatniks. "Come on Dad, crawl
outa that pad. Get with the bearded beatniks and go, go, go! It's wild
man wild!" Hmm.
