• Brain Guy
Actually, I think this was supposed to be called
"Headache Guy Meets The Fish-Faced Lady", but it wouldn't all fit. You'll
want to pay particular attention to the tipping over table, lamp, drink, chair,
and Headache Guy. |
|
Ballet •
I like the simple layout and colors on this
one. A very scholarly review of ballet's arrival and popularization in America,
complete with photo inserts. |
|
• Flee The Night In Anger
Suddenly, she tosses her blouse down
on the seat of the rowboat, stands, and sings, "The hills are alive, flee the night in
an-ger." A story of an ex-con, his mobster buddies, and their rowboat.
|
 |
Hell Cop •
Just another New York mobster underworld
title, but this one's got that nifty 50's graphics look where 3D becomes 2D. "How
about it?" I said. She broke into a smile and said, "How about what?" "You know."
|
 |
• Hell's Kitchen
Uh-oh, looks like someone didn't listen to their
mother and went down to the bad part of town wearing a tight cashmere sweater.
Corruption in the New York tenements, from an age which blamed "today's youth" for everything.
|
|
My Flag Is Down •
Delightful leering cabbie and
lady-in-underwear cover, plus lots of dated New York street slang in 25 "true"
stories. "I tell her nix to that and breeze out of there. Brother, you don't savvy
much if you didn't click on that."
|
 |
• Rock Wagram
"Should I accept Mr. Mitchum's cantaloupe," wondered
Marcy, "or live out my days in solitude?" Classic American author gets cheesy paperback treatment.
|
 |
Torment •
Hooray! Yet another Sidelong Glance
cover! "I get the one with the hat," murmurs Jane-the-Russian as she unconsciously
scratches her bare leg. |
