About this Item

Dover, DE: D.M. Publishing Co., Inc. First Edition. The April, 1938 issue of "Snappy", a girlie/erotica pulp of the classic era. Cover is unsigned, but is either Earl Bergey, Georges Quintana or Enoch Bolles, most likely Bergey. Quarto, wrappers, 64 pp. Some soiling to covers, short slits at spine top and bottom. About Very Good; see scans. A scarce but classic girlie/pin-up mag of the golden age for that, with a fetching cover by one of the major luminaries in that genre art - Earle Bergey, Enoch Bolles and George Quintana, who for magazines defined the field at that time and for decades to come. Contents include male-oriented soft-erotica stories, usually illustrated (sometimes in a nice art deco mode) with one- or two-line-drawings involving semi-nudity and other pertinent stylizations celebrating female magnetism as it was then. Still is, in fact. Internal illustrations are here completely uncredited, and the writers' names are certainly pseudonymous. But that's part of the fun; check the table of contents scan. Part of our heritage. Very scarce, particularly, it seems, in these years when it was produced by D.M.Publishing (in the earlier thirties, Snappy was published by Merwil Publishing Company). LG-2.
