The inimitable Mae West,
bawdy star of 1930's Broadway Theater and Hollywood, invites the reader
into the audience to view her life story and begins with this introduction.
"This Book is
dedicated to those who
are so evil minded that
~ they Ridicule
others to satisfy their
own Sexual Desires"
An obvious precursor
to Mr. Prolific's 32 page masterpiece, "The Hip Flipper", Mae
recounts her earliest sexual encounter and subsequent search for sexual
satisfaction, climaxing with the discovery of Popeye the
Sailor's gigantic schlong.
Prolific's fascination
with Mae West made her the headliner of some of his greatest comics and
the Queen of the Tijuana Bibles.
If you've never seen
Mae in action, you really can't comprehend her appeal, there's never been
another personality to compare to her. I highly recommend viewing "She
Done Him Wrong" or "I'm No Angel" (both Paramont 1933) for
a taste of Mae at her uncensored best.
Mae West, 1932
by Irving Lippman, for Paramont. Leg Art for her film debut in Night
After Night. |
It
is especially intriguing that one of this story's lovers is Elmer Zilch
himself, the artist's favorite pen name. Mr. Zilch says, "Ah my beautiful
one I have longed to show my love for you" .... Mae replies, "You
mean you just longed to fuck me".
In
a book only titled "Dixie Dugan'', there is another case of Prolific
self portrayal. After being seduced into park bench sex by a smooth talking
artist, Dixie is shocked to find out his great achievement is the creation
of little 8 page sex comics, for which he must remain anonymous.
Around the World with
Mae West is 16 pages, measures 4 1/8 x 6 1/8 inches and is printed on tan
cover stock with white interior.
More than a reprint, this is a quality restoration better than the original
first edition used as source.
