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'.

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.
