Acquired Tastes XLIII
Gay Pulp Fiction, Part 123
Adonis Classics, Part 7 of 25
Greenleaf Classic Books, the publishers of the Adonis Classics imprint, began in 1959 and continued until 1971, when management lost focus on the business as the government's prosecution for obscenity became a major concern.
By 1974,a new management team and staff were in place, operating out of an office at 7523 Raytheon Road in San Diego and production ceased on all existing imprints. In an attempt to break into mainstream markets, two new imprints were started which used cover art and titles that were not provocative. These efforts failed.
Adonis Classics would release a total of 252 titles during it's lifespan.
The first twenty covers feature white backgrounds (with one exception) and colored drawings or black and white pencil illustrations. After the first two titles, a particular type-face was established, with the title appearing above the illustration. The distinctive Adonis Classics symbol was established with either the seventh or eighth title in the series.
After the first twenty titles, the imprint switched to their iconic red covers (though sometimes pink,) featuring a black and white illustration framed in a black circle which has an arrow attached - a universal sign designating something as 'male.' The book's title at the top of the cover is encased in a white circle with an arrow (the symbol for male.)
Today thanks to Hommi Publishing, we ended up with eight out of ten covers found!
Boys Camp
Author: F.W. Love
AC 161
So, I was a boy scout.
Boy scout camp was nothing like this... for me.
Now there were rumors! A certain older scout, we'll call him Mark - tall, lanky, a mop of dark hair, well, it seems he hosted a few after hour 'parties' with all the popular boys - which did not included me. I learned about it because the next day, after each one of these 'parties' - this boy was no longer speaking with or associating with that boy - and they used to be best buds. And so it went, every night of our week-long camping stay.
And the common denominator at these parties? Well, that would be Mark... and his huge penis.
Yes, I'd seen it. For Mark used to be on the football team. That is, until he got busted for drugs - which is another reason he was so popular with the popular boys!
Sigh, oh, how I envied them. Why me? I'd be sitting all alone in my tent, counting my mosquito bites and wishing I'd packed some extra pairs of underwear.

Hotel Hustlers
Author: Lambert Wilhelm
AC 162
Look at the stretch on the front of that life guard's speedo! My word! I had no idea the made Lycra that strong.
Why, if he were the life guard at the pool at the hotel I was staying at?
I'd be drowning over and over again... and not in water!

Trucker’s Slave Boy
Author: Rex Harper
AC 163
Ahh, the men of the big rigs! I wonder how often this scene has played out in the parking lots of various truck stops and wayside rests?
To be honest... if they wanted a peek in my drawers?
They wouldn't have to hold my arms behind my back.

Chicken Slave

AC 164
Oh, dear! It appears that poor young man has gone ass over tea kettle. How nice of that man with the porn stash to come to his aid.
As for that other gentlemen?
I'm not sure now is the time to be applying sunscreen. But to each their own.

Well Hung Stud
Author: F.W. Love
AC 165
Hmm... can you imagine tooling (pun on purpose) down the highway on a motorcycle wearing nothing but suspenders, a pair of denim cut-offs and a pair of boots?
Not me. Not in this lifetime. However...
I can imagine myself sitting behind a man on a motorcycle wearing nothing but suspenders, a pair of denim cut-offs and a pair of boots.
But he should be forewarned.. I have a sneaking suspicion my hands might accidentally 'slip' on occasion.
What? Are you sure that's not the throttle? Cuz I do believe we are picking up speed.

Schoolboy Slaves
Author: Rex Harper
AC 166
I graduated high school, but do not recall this particular class. Knot tying? Leather work?
If this was part of shop class, I must have been absent that particular day.
Or is this some sort of extra curricular activity I was not aware of... which is odd.
For I was always one for keeping busy after school. This looks like something I might have enjoyed.

Well-Hung Slave
Author: Jason Tyler
AC 167
That item that unfortunate man is stuck in is called a pillory, also known as the stocks. During the puritan pilgrim phase of the United States development, men and women would be placed in these devices in the public square of their village for various digressions. You know, small little offenses like speaking out of turn or wearing your 'Sunday' undies on a 'Monday', or not swallowing when you swore you would.
I really think they should bring these devices back. I can think of a number of politicians who in Washington D.C. who would be perfect candidates for a bit of public humiliation. That said... not Miss Lindsay Grahamcrackers; that bitch would enjoy a bit too much, if you know what I mean.

The Boy Buyer
Author: Rex Harper
AC 168
(Cover Not Found)
I just don't know what I think about this type of commerce. I have heard tales of a certain bar in West Hollywood, where the silver screen elite would drop in and purchase the 'favors' of young hustlers.
I guess it's one way of being discovered... in fact, I believe two current Hollywood 'legends' got their start in just that way.
'CAN-YOU' guess who I might be referring to? No? Well, I suppose I could message you in Morse code by beating my little TOM-tom drum.
Would that do the 'trick'?

Chicken Hawk Cop
Author: Jason Tyler
AC 169
Wow. It took me a little while to make sense of this illustration.
I would say it's a case of 'officer down'.
But, from this vantage point?
He seems pretty erect to me.

Golden Shower Boys
Author: Russell Rawlings
AC 170
(Cover Not Found)
Is this what happens when a CEO options out his golden umbrella? No?
Well, if it's not raining Benjamins, then what is it raining?
What? Oh, my stars! You don't say!
Why, I never... (say no.)

And that's all for now.
Next week, another ten scintillating Adonis Classics!
Until then...
Thanks for reading.

Ah...Boy Scout Camp. Not every camping trip was like that, but a couple of them were. Ah, the memories....
Hahah
We're all commenting on the Boy Scout thing. My Boy Scout years were uneventful. I did saw one of the biggest dicks I've seen in my life in the Boy Scout house at school, though. Long story.
XOXO
I would have loved having these comics in my teens!
