Gay On The Range - awesomely badly titled pulp books from the 50s and 60s. Hollywood Homo and Gay Whore are my favorite titles. →[More:]A Few of the Boys and Carry On Charlie are my favorites for the laughable illustrations.

Even better than the titles are the front-page blurbs:

He was as hard as nails . . . and gay as they came!
He was too gay for his own good!
In Rome, they did as Greeks did!
Nine dollar scholars, learning shame in - The Cruising Class
Back when men were men . . . more or less

My sister had postcards of these all her first apt. some 15 years ago. She's older and more conservative now. She's got a house, a dog, and a wife. (and twins on the way!)

I have a postcard of a pulp novel called The Dark Tunnel, with the blurb "The story of a homosexual spy."

I can't stop laughing at "Back when men were men . . . more or less" (thanks LJ), and the illustration on this one.

And "He was the frosh flash of a fag fraternity" from "Buffy Rides Again!"...

But, the winner has to be...

Good Night, Gentle Goy.

(^^^ Not a typo. I really want to read this one.)

Isn't Gay Whore the same as Happy Hooker?

Haha...yeah.

It's the economy of words that gets me. I can't stop laughing at the titles.
