Scrooge Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Those Blaine covers are painted by Norman Blaine Saunders. I know! Saunders painted a single Spicy cover and what a beaut . I know at least one person on the board has a copy. If not you BZ (which you might have a copy) I want to say rjpb unless he sold it - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not you BZ (which you might have a copy) I have that issue but it's missing the front cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seank Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 As a matter of history, how "respectable" were the Saucy and Spicy titles? Was buying them in the 1930's like buying Playboy or Penthouse would be today? They don't look like something you would read on the subway after a hard day at work.

Was buying them in the 1930's like buying Playboy or Penthouse would be today? They don't look like something you would read on the subway after a hard day at work. From the intro of Uncovered: "Banned in some cities, sold with covers torn off in others, always sold under the counter (when they could be sold at all), the girlie pulps led a precarious life." Kind says it all, doesn't it. Here's also the very first page of the intro to give you another idea of the atmosphere surrounding these books - [btw, the reason it took the stash 48 hours to burn is probably to give time to everyone in the precinct to inspect the violation in detail ... ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theagenes Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I don't see what all the hubbub is. I enjoy Saucy Movie Tales because I'm a film buff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghoulaid Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I'm a fan of Norman Saunders but that's one I've never seen before. It is nearly perfect in my eyes. I'm rather speechless .. BZ ... you wouldn't happen to own any Saunders originals would you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrooge Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Why is it that the French have all the fun? I believe BZ wanted to feature story from the homelands tonight ... and just for me Thanks BZ You've got to love the cover design for those French Night Life mags. Here's another one (Dec. 1935) that shows you what you can find behind that keyhole ... And speaking of keyhole, here's another one (Nov. 1936) to show you Steve that the US has its fun ... you're just on the wrong coast [Note: both covers by George Quintana] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
