Acceptable Risque
My goodness, some of the 1960s and ’70s espionage-action paperback covers showcased this week in Retrospace are truly hideous. Could they be any more blatantly prurient? (The male audience for such works must have been hard up, indeed.) On the other hand, I confess to liking the fronts of Skin Game Dame and The Dolly Dolly Spy, and I purchased a copy of Edward S. Aaron’s Assignment Nuclear Nude specifically for its Robert McGinnis illustration.

The link's gone a bit wrong--some dashes missing. But those covers are UGH!
Sorry about that. The link should be operating properly now.
Cheers,
