The PorPor Books Blog: SF and Fantasy Paperbacks, and Pop Culture Detritus, 1968 - 1988

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 !

I'm a long time fan of SF and fantasy literature, starting from the day I got my first Marvel comic as a first-grader in 1966.
