Gay On The Range: A Gallery Of Gay Pulp Covers From The 50's and 60's

One year for Christmas I received a small stack of old pulp novels form the 50's and 60's from my friends Dave and Carolyn. They were all gay themed and the covers were hilarious. It's interesting to read what were no doubt novels sold in brown paper bags and read in the privacy of a locked bedroom. What was even more interesting than the stories themselves however were the book's covers. They were nothing short of amazing and in most case, downright hilarious. I loved them, but my search for more always ended in dissapointment as these boks in many cases were very expensive.

Reader Freezair SilverEye dropped this nugget of awesomeness in my inbox last night and I was thrilled when I saw what it was. A fellow named Ryan Richardson has not one but TWO sites dedicated to these great pieces of historic gay art. The first site Gay on the Range contains a gallery of eighty seven great covers from these gay themed pulp novels while its sister site Strange Sisters, does the same for the lesbian set of these books. Really Great stuff and so worth the time to peruse.
