SO....what's a PorPor Book ?
'PorPor' is a derogatory term my brother used, to refer to the SF and Fantasy paperbacks and comic books I eagerly read from the late 60s to the late 80s.
This blog is devoted to those paperbacks and comics you can find on the shelves of second-hand bookstores...from the New Wave era and 'Dangerous Visions', to the advent of the cyberpunks and 'Neuromancer'. And with a leavening of pop culture detritus, too !

New York 1999
New York 1999 cover art by Giuseppe Festino
This 1983 German paperback version of Make Room ! Make Room ! by Harry Harrison features one of the more striking cover illustrations I've yet seen for the novel.
Man, that is a grim illustration. Really grabs you, though.
ReplyDeleteHarrison's novel is really good. It doesn't even have the twist ending of the film, just an unrelenting view of a collapsed and dying society.
