About this Item

Mt. Morris, IL: Norwood Publishing Co., 1934. August, 1934 Issue, Volume 1, No. 4. "Good Girl" pin-up cover art by George Quintana, "Meet the Toy Friend!". Contents are illustrated from photographs. Pictorial wrappers, 66 pp. 11 3/8" x 8 3/8". Some rubbing, a few small chips, spine is mostly complete. Quite bright, a solid VG, maybe a bit better. A scarce and iconic issue from the pin-up pulp world of the 1930's, the covers of which, when executed by the likes of George Quintana, Enoch Bolles and Earle Bergey, would currently be dubbed "Good Girl" art. And, that they are. While Bolles covers are scarce enough, Quintana, about which very little else is known but that he painted such covers as these (see scan) is a harder find. Contents are mostly Hollywood studio-produced photos of stars, with plenty of rumor-mill type text as well. The humor derives from the quippy editor-inserted captions next to the photos, mostly cinematic stills. A genre classic for both cover and content. LG-1.
