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 !

The Story of the Stepback Cover

The Story of the Stepback Cover

Over at the 'Sweet Savage Flame' blog devoted to vintage paperback romance novels, an interesting series of articles about the stepback cover, a major artistic and marketing feature of old school books. Lots of pics from not just the romance genre, but Paperbacks from Hell, too !
