Upon learning that the late Juan Puyal did many covers for this imprint, albeit uncredited, I wanted to archive one of the older titles he worked on. Steven Kovacs is a pseudonym of an anonymous author given the time this book was published, and historically speaking, these sorts of books were easily spotted in sex shops in Times Square during the late 60s to early 80s. Said books can be seen in Bill Butterworth's photo essay 'The 40 Deuce", in which Bill travered strip clubs, sex shops and more - several titles from this imprint can be seen in one photograph on the back wall with gay books.
This novel was transcribed by the team at Triplexbooks. Given the manner of art and publishing, as well as with Puyal's career, this was published between 1975 to 1979 proper when Puyal abandoned working on girl's comics to do fetish art for publishers and private commissions.
RIP Juan Sole Puyal (1930 - 2018)
There are no interior illustrations, so raw scans of the interior wouldn't matter. I half expected to get them with my purchase, but only the cover was included.
Many of these books are in the permanent collection of Cornell University's special collections, the Miscellaneous popular fiction collection, 1955-1992 (Collection Number: 7691) - Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections:
