ashleylm's review against another edition
3.0
Interesting overview of the subject. I would argue that much of the work isn't erotic in the slightest (women being murdered while pleasuring men is disturbing, not erotic), but I suppose somebody somewhere must have deemed it so, unfortunately.
Also, it seemed very straight. If I were a gay man in the 1950s I'm sure I would have found L'il Abner or Terry and the Pirates quite erotic, to say nothing of those many hunky superheroes out there, but nothing like that was explored--it was pretty much sexy women all the time, with the exception of two Victorian images and one Tiajuana Bible.
