• The Case of the Hypnotized Virgin Now here's a potent
combination! First, let's find a virgin. Then we can hypnotize her, and get
her to, uhm... Get her to eat spinach, or something! Yeah! So, is
that virgin on the cover the hypnotizee or the hypnotizer? |
|
The Man-Eaters of Kumaon • It's been too long since I read
an adventure that was "hair raising". Hunter Jim is Author Jim, and the book includes
photos of Jim standing proudly next to a 10ft long (dead) bengal tiger. Not really
Jim on the cover, though. |
|
• The Whispering Master "One more step and your DJ Promo copy
of `101 Strings Top Polka Hits' gets it!", she screamed. I knew this dame was
trouble. I whispered, "I am the master. Now eat the doggone spinach!"
|
 |
Mysterious Mickey Finn • Yes, it's thrill-crazed Paris,
complete with bebop bohemians playing strip bingo. "G-2!", the man in the silly
blue costume exclaims. Ooo la la!
|
 |
• Sands of Mars We enjoy exploring new worlds beyond our own.
Except don't you hate it when you forget to set your watch to local time and miss the
return flight, or when someone parks the crane too close to the darn launch pad?
|

|
Space Prison • Not to split hairs, but would being marooned
with a bunch of women in tattered dresses, on a planet with breathable air, really be a
Hell World? I mean, it could be worse, like, the Spinach Planet or something.
|
 |
• The Trailer Park Girls Lookin' for Love? Don't forget to
check the local trailer park, where this romantic dialogue was captured.
"Hey, baby.", she says. "Hey, baby.", he replies. "Hey, baby.", she
suggests. Grinning, he says, "Hey, baby."
|
 |
Up To Her Neck • It's another Sidelong Glance
cover! Surely there's some other way out for our red-headed bather, Shirley.
And what's up with that lady's dress, anyway?
