The Pin Up Art Of Bill Wenzel
CONTAINS ADULT MATERIAL. Edited by Alex Chum, designed by Jacob Covey. Fantagraphics Books, 2005. This fascinating Pin-Up series from Alex Chum/ Fantagraphics Books continues, with the largely unsung Bill Wenzel (1918-87). His art featured in the Comic book but again it is his irreverent, saucy renditions of the well-endowed but put-upon American female that shows him in his true light. His cartoons are less rounded, more knowing & give a darker insight into these, otherwise formulaic one-panel gags.

There is a fascinating but brief introduction to the magazines that Wenzel illustrated for, followed by more than 150 gags, the majority of which have not been seen, since their original publication. Another fascinating glimpse, into a bygone age of popular fiction. Recommended for fans of the best in popular American illustration. 198 pages.

True Crime Detective Magazines 1924 - 1969
Taschen, October 2008. In 1924 the "true crime" detective magazine genre was born, and it thrived and evolved in all its fishnet-stocking, smoking-gun glory until its demise in the mid-1990s. Cashing in on people's secret voyeuristic, morbid natures, magazines such as True Detective and American Detective profiled scandalous crimes and the villains - often sexy women in stiletto heels - who committed them. Over the years, the magazines became more and more focused on crime and sexuality, until they became smutty to the point of being too racy for the newsstands.

Approximately 500 pages of covers, spreads, and text explore this sensational magazine genre in vibrant detail, with 450 covers. Among the texts included are a profile of the eccentric man who invented the genre in 1924, profiles of the cover artists, a decade-by-decade analysis of what sort of crimes were most popular with readers, profiles of the writers (many of whom went on to fame in crime fiction writing), a feminist scholar's analysis of the portrayal of women on the magazine covers, and a reprint from a 1986 forensic magazine damning the magazines as porno for sadists.

A comprehensive listing of all known titles and their publishers completes this excellent book. 336 pages. Hard Cover Full Colour 11" x 10" (278mm x 242mm) (ISBN-13: 9783822825594)
