TIJUANA BIBLES: Lot of 15 GANGSTER, POLITICIAN and HOLLYWOOD-Themed Eight-Pagers Date Published: c.1930s-1950s Description: Lot of 15 Tijuana bibles featuring horny hooligans (Pretty Boy Floyd, Bonnie Parker, Baby Face Nelson, Machine Gun Kelly), politicos (Mussolini, Earl Browder), and Hollywood types (Little Annie Rooney, Ginger Rogers, Laurel and Hardy, Katherine Hepburn, Dick Powell, etc.). Depraved stuff, including an S. Clay Wilson-like sequence in which Bonnie Parker nails a guy, chops off his rod, and pickles it in booze as a souvenir. "Like so many of the mid-century gangsters of the Depression, Bonnie Parker had a short career but good press coverage. She ran off with Clyde Barrow in 1932 and, after a series of exploits... was killed with him in 1934 by Texas rangers in a remote section of Louisiana. For over three decades the saga lay dormant, until the 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde recreated the legend for keeps. Chances are that the Bonnie Parker in 'Amputated' is closer to the raw-boned gun moll than the silky Faye Dunaway ever was, especially since the booklet was done while the real Bonnie Parker was very much in business." — Bob Adelman, Tijuana Bibles: Art and Wit in America's Forbidden Funnies, 1930s-1950s.
