Satan Press, Wee Hours, Corsair (6 Vintage Paperbacks, 1960s)

Star Distributors, WWNC, 1960s. Very Good. First Editions, paperback originals, 12mo softcover, 95c cover price, 160pp, perfect-bound, color wrappers. Six vintage paperbacks, 1966-68, adult erotic novels featuring cover art by Bilbrew, noted African-American illustrator and underground art OG, with trademark studs and gangly fiends, and chiseled women. Eugene (sometimes Eneg) was a singer in the Basin Street Boys, worked at the Los Angeles Sentinel (newspaper), created the first black superhero "The Bronze Bomber," and later overdosed in an adult bookstore. Early work seen in Irving Klaw's Nutrix digests, later work being paintings of the seedy characters of his daily routine for Ed Mishkin and Leonard Burtman paperbacks. His work is steadily recognizable and his precedence in Black comics and underground art holds fast. Bilbrew's finals works (1973) decorate several Star Distributor titles, many of less than mentionable themes paraded as "case studies." Included: Just for Kicks, Dealer's Luck, Demon Mona, Screen Test, Judith Triumphant, Infernal Affair. Very Good to Very Good Plus overall, all with light rubbing, lean, moderate foxing, a few with brief creases, three Remainder. For consenting, mature audiences. Collation upon request.
