Girls, Gags, and Giggles, a publication created by publisher Robert Harrison, was a recipe for delivering pin-up to the American male. Men adored his delectable creations, a delightful blend of strippers and starlets adorned in outfits so fetishistic that no one noticed they were never nude. While other magazines offered the girl next door, Harrison's publications capitalized on the allure of bad girls in satin and leather, fishnet stockings, and six-inch heels performing slapstick stunts straight from the burlesque stage. Harrison's magazines featured vibrantly painted covers by top pin-up artists such as Earl Moran, Billy DeVorss, and, most notably, Peter Driben. This Bibliotheca Universalis edition pays homage to this eye-catching candy with every single cover from Beauty Parade, Wink, Titter, Eyeful, Flirt, and Whisper, from 1942 to 1955, as well as interior spreads, featuring, among others, a budding Bettie Page. In a time when far more graphic material is the norm, 1000 Pin-Up Girls celebrates an era of pin-up and pulp style to ignite your erotic imagination.
