This book had an interesting history in the 1970’s when a producer and screenwriter used it for reference material on a movie they were working on. It’s weird you posted it tonight because a friend of mine who works in Hollywood recently repeated that story to me when we went out for drinks. There was a similar story too when they did the Louis Jourdan movies Fear no evil.

Freaks Against Supermen by Ralph L. Finn       Gaywood Press    1950     $25

Killer title and cover art. Almost a caricature of campy 1950's UK Science Fiction books.

VG/VG+ Chip to corner and various areas of wear but presents well.

Going to make the break here until tomorrow. Need at least a little Friday night R n R, most likely playing guitars and hoisting a couple in the garage with my buddy from down the block.

Thanks for all the takes, likes and comments. I'll probably kick in in the late afternoon tomorrow as we have a birthday celebration to attend during the day   Who knows what will come out of the boxes over the next two days

[Surfing Alien]

Re-cap is updated and thread cleaned up. Be back late afternoon/early evening EST

[Surfing Alien]

Gonna get this going again.

Cool McGinnis GGA cover

Fine Plus/VF minus - Square and tight, has small bend on rear, light wear to extremities. Small shadow inside front cover, probably a tiny name sticker that fell off long ago.
