Synopsis:
When a group of anonymous comic strip artists began producing the Tijuana Bibles--erotic comic books that satirized contemporary life and lampooned such treasured icons as Little Orphan Annie and Clark Gable--the works became instant collector's items. Today, interest in the bibles remains strong because of their artistry, their audacity, and because of what they tell us about our history and our attitudes. 140 illustrations, 20 in color.
Review:
"Now, with the vogue of bestowing respectability on everything rediscovered, comes Bob Adelman's "Tijuana Bibles', a respectable coffee-table book....Is it art? Nah, it's filthy pictures. For some of us, that's enough."
