Acquired Tastes XLIII:
Gay Pulp Fiction, Part 165
Gay Novel. Part 1 of 2
This is a Greenleaf Classics imprint - which surprised me, because not only is is part of the classic era (1959 to 1975) - but they are NOT listed on the go-to site regarding the history of this publisher; a strange oversight on the part of the creators of that site, for it's rather comprehensive and well-done. I'm going to assume its accidental.
In that short period of time, they did go through three distinct cover designs... actually reverting to the second one for a couple of covers, before going back to the third concept.
We're going to start with the first ten titles, for which I 'sort of' found six covers.
George Delacourt has four books in the genre to his credit.
Patrick Doyle is a familiar name. We've seen his works, here, here, here, here and here. He has sixteen novels to his credit.
Chad Stuart (not to be confused with the Chad Stuart of Chad and Jeremy fame) has 18 credits in the genre. He was published by a number of imprints, including: HIS69, RAM-10, and Golden Boy Books.
Sebastian Lamb is the pseudonym of Lyal H. Stevens. He wrote 29 gay erotic novels (and a work copy of one additional novel) and three gay erotic short stories between 1972 and 1979, including several for the Blueboy Library imprint.

Lyal H. Stevens was born on July 29, 1927, most likely in New Jersey, where his Social Security card was issued. By 1970, he had moved to Los Angeles, and had begun writing gay erotic fiction. His first published novel, Coq Le Grand, was published by Greenleaf Classics in 1970, and in the following year he sold seven other manuscripts to several publishers of erotica. Although Stevens may have worked at the Mirish Corp. (the draft of one of his novels is typed partly on the letterhead of that company's publicity director's stationary) his erotic fiction appears to have been his chief source of income, and he wrote under a number of pseudonyms, including Peter Pepper, Sebastian Lamb, Llewellyn Hollingsworthy, E. Rex Dix, and Lon Savage. He died in Los Angeles on April 15, 1995.

if only I had these stories and these comics in my adolescence... But maybe it was better not to, because I would have destroyed my dick with wanks
Ohhh 33 titles?
Quite the author! And I'm loving the covers! Quite risqué for the time.
XOXO
