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. Tim Waite 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, many of these particular books were 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:
This particular manuscript is older than the book itself and mentions historical themes from the 1950s to 1960s, which is not uncommon considering that many titles were often re-sold and sometimes shelved again. The art itself was re-used several times by several different publishers. The story itself has tons of interracial themes, some laughable, some a bit more poignant. Its very dated.
