These are super interesting! I love the mixture of violence, seduction, and sexuality here... which makes me wonder exactly who these were made for (assuming they're all real, I guess): lesbians or straight men? Or both? The kind of dangerous, criminal tone seems like it could be pretty campy or like a super exotic, subversive fantasy... I wonder if anyone in the class has seen any of this pulp in person? Like how it reads versus what the cover art depicts? I'd be super interested to know!
