Sleazy Magazines and Book Covers of the Past: Sleazy Magazine Covers (Vintage)

By Al W. Blue II

SLEAZY MAGAZINES AND BOOK COVERS OF THE PAST. IS EXACTLY THAT. THIS BOOK WILL TAKE A LOOK AT THE VARIOUS MAGAZINES AND BOOK COVERS OF THE PAST. THERE HAS BEEN THOUSANDS OF SO CALLED SLEAZE OR SMUT PUBLICATIONS. THIS COLLECTION WILL HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE WORST OR BEST. THE CHOICE IS YOURS. I THINK THAT THESE EARLY PERIODICALS OF THIS NATURE WERE UNIQUE AND SPECIAL. I PERSONALLY LIKE THE ART WORK AND THE WEIRD PHOTOGRAPHY. NO MATTER WHAT YOU THINK, THIS IS ALSO A PART OF THE AMERICAN STORY. IF YOU WERE TO COMPARE THESE EARLY MAGS AND BOOK COVERS. UP AGAINST WHAT IS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE TODAY. THE OLD MAGS AND BOOK COVERS WOULD LOOK LIKE A JOKE AT LEAST THE OLD MAGS LEFT YOU SOME ROOM FOR IMAGINATION. TODAY WITH THE INTERNET, YOU CAN SEE MORE NAKED MEN OR WOMEN ON ONE PAGE. THAN ALL OF THESE BOOKS COMBINED. TODAY THESE MAGS WOULD CARRY A PG WARNING LABEL. BACK IN THE DAY. THEY WERE CONSIDERED VULGAR. TODAY THEY ARE FUNNY AND OUT DATED. SOMETIMES SOME THINGS ARE BETTER LEFT UNCHANGED ANYWAY YOU BE THE JUDGE, ON WHATS SLEAZE OR NOT. ME, I THINK. IT IS JUST ANOTHER LOST PART OF OUR INNOCENCE OR OUR IGNORANCE. ENOUGH TALK GO LOOK AT SOME VINTAGE COVERS. SEE YOU IN THE NEXT EPISODE.
