Zip-Gun Angels Albert L. Quandt Original Novels 721 PBO
Rare classic GGA cover by Herbert Taus of a juvenile delinquent babe and her pals with a zip gun surrounding a JD boy in an alleyway. A cornerstone of any respectable JD paperback collection.
This is the desirab...le First Printing, not the later reprint
VG/VG+, solid binding. Very Strong colors. The book appears very lightly read and the binding is straight and intact with some edgewear. Only has very light cover creasing to the top right corner and only light edgewear. Slightly miscut at bindery (top edge).
Overall a beautiful presenting copy of a scarce early vintage Juvenile Delinquent digest that is usually found creased up and beat.
Girls In Jeans! Girls In Sweaters! Hungry Girls! Lonely Girls! Willing Girls! Frightened Girls!
The streets swarm with them. The city slums pour them out into the world, and then leave them to take care of themselves... and in their way, the girls do. Some of them take the "easy" road, with men in bars and on street corners.
Others fight for decency and a home and future. Some are beautiful, and dream of using their bodies to win fame and applause... and men with the money to give them what they want. Others are plain... but they're still female, with all the yearnings of ripening women.
They all start out on the streets of the city... and from the beginning it's a battle... for food, for decency, for love. Boys in the same predicament form themselves into gangs, and fight wih broken bottles and zip guns, defying the world to stop them...
This is the story of one girl who fought with everything she had, with body, with heart and fresh young beauty... as the leader of a new kind of street gang... a gang of tough and beautiful girls.
"Albert L. Quandt produced some of the 1950's most breathless, exploitation sleaze often masquerading as trenchant social commentary yet biographical information and critical assessment of his oeuvre is incredibly sparse. I'm saying I can provide no insights into what led him to wallow in the slimelight so diligently. I don't know if he was an alarmist, a moral scold or just scribbled about what floated his boat. Zip Gun Angels came out in 1952 in digest size with art by little known Herb Taus. For reasons known only to history this was re-titled “Boy Crazy” in subsequent editions."
