The Hell Camp
I’m in debt to reader “MB” for sending along this link to a trove of Australian pulp covers. Apparently American pulp magazines were banned from Australia in 1939, leading to a boom in domestic Australian pulp output in the postwar period. The result is a lot of stuff that’s every bit as delicious as American pulp, but not as familiar:
You’re looking at a detail from a classic “Japanese POW Camp” genre cover, from a book called Escape From The Hell Camp; I find it notable because it’s got a naked man and a naked woman, in a show of egalitarian nudity that the U.S. pulps rarely managed.

If you take out the Hell Camp soldiers, the equal showing of nudity is somehow very erotic.
Bless you “MB” for sending along that link.
[…] The book is To Hell With Love, and it comes from Australia, written by Gilbert Anstruther in 1963. I found it here, via an ErosBlog link tip. […]
