Today in pulp I look back at one of the most influential and outrageous illustrators of the 1970s, whose work defined the Italian fumetti horror scene: Emanuele Taglietti!
I can't promise this thread will be SFW...
The Survivalist series was a surprising worldwide hit in the 1980s, although the French editions do have some unusual covers!
@Emdashes @Jay_Javaria @AcademicChatter @Unwise_Trousers It may indicate this isn't an earlier Arrow Cartland with a new cover. Pan Books began publishing Cartlands in the 1970s IIRC, so perhaps they scooped the lion's share of her newer works?
Soviet Nuclear Zeppelins. Three words that always inspire confidence...
Tekhnika Molodezhi magazine, 1971.
"Ooh it DOES go right through you, doesn't it!"
Guinness gives you power, 1968.
"It's a Frenchman! Shoot him before he starts playing the accordion!!"
#UFO Flying Saucers. Gold Key Comics, 1976.
As obscenity laws were relaxed in the 1960s the lesbian pulp market began to decline. More serious and realistic lesbian stories began to be published, and the pulps were reduced to voyeurism and gimmicks to sell copies.
A lot of lesbian pulp is based on stereotype: older controlling lesbians seducing young innocents, men fighting butch women for the love of a confused wife, small-town girls falling for big city vices...
