Revenge of the Pulps

[Jollyrei]

it still thrills me to imagine being that girl ...

And I wonder who is behind that mask ...

ULTIMATELY, I AM, I SHOULD THINK.

I love Fairport - favorite album "Liege and Lief"

I'm fond of Full House and Nine, myself. Best song though is their version of "Seventeen come Sunday".

I'm fond of Full House and Nine, myself. Best song though is their version of "Seventeen come Sunday".

I love the folk lyrics, Like "Matty Groves"

"Well, get up, get up," Lord Donald cried
"Get up as quick as you can
It'll never be said in fair England
I slew a naked man"

"Oh, I can't get up, I won't get up
I can't get up for my life
For you have two long beaten swords
And I not a pocket knife"

"Well it's true I have two beaten swords
And they cost me deep in the purse
But you will have the better of them
And I will have the worse

And you will strike the very first blow
And strike it like a man
I will strike the very next blow
And I'll kill you if I can"

So Matty struck the very first blow
And he hurt Lord Donald sore
Lord Donald struck the very next blow
And Matty struck no more

Don't worry, I'll never forget the Nazis
Man's Epic August 1964 artist Norm Eastman, small format

"10 to 1 you Flunk as a Lover." Well, its nice to know I'm in the top ten percent!
"Intimate Confession: I was a Teenage Nympho" Why would I want to know? To identify current teenage girls who are nymphos, of course. BTW what is different about a Nympho?
"Love Slaves of France's Harlot Army" Soldat Messaline reporting! Ready and eagar!
"Book Bonus: Secrets of the Africa Corps Torture Palace" Cover?
Very nice art. Here it is 'naked'.

Very pretty, very scared, Blonde with swastika brand and nice tits, well secured to torture chair - very sexy. Pouring molten metal into boot would be of course, horrible painful. However it would be too lethal, too quickly for my taste. Blonde in back it cute. What is the purpose of the iron helmet? Here's a closeup:

Anyone?

And not to forget girls who go the other way:

"The movies that they made were for adults only, but at night they filmed the secrets of their forbidden desires in a love made for women only."
Actually a well written blurb!

So Matty struck the very first blow
And he hurt Lord Donald sore
Lord Donald struck the very next blow
And Matty struck no more

It's the second part of the song though that really hits, after the instrumental bridge, where Lord Donald asks his wife who is better, Matty Groves or me, and pins her to the wall with his sword.

"A grave, a grave", Lord Donald cried
To put these lovers in
But bury my lady at the top
For she was of noble kin"

It's the human drama that gets me too.

"The Strangest Love Story Ever Told."

That's a pretty accurate byline. It would make a fairly decent crux story.
