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'.

It's September, 1986, and the Fall issue of Heavy Metal magazine is released. The cover illustration is by Enki Bilal.On MTV and on FM radio, the song 'Captain of Her Heart', by the Swiss duo Double, is in rotation. It's not easy for a band with a French name whose song is getting airplay in the US; I remember listening to the radio at the time and hearing one US deejay pronounce the group as 'double', not doo-BLAY.......
Most of the content of the Fall 1986 issue is made up of a mediocre Bilal entry titled 'Trapped Women'. But there still is some life in the magazine yet; the best entry in this issue is a graphically violent, offbeat, post-apocalyptic cannibal tale by Jose Ortiz: 'Please Don't Feed the Animals'.
