Acquired Tastes XLIII: Gay Pulp Fiction, Part 214 - Jock Studs, Part 5 of 5

Acquired Tastes XLIII: 
Gay Pulp Fiction, Part 214
 Jock Studs
Part 5 of 5

Today we take a final look at the Jock Studs imprint.

Brought to you by the good people at Star Distributors, LTD., the Jock Studs imprint published 56 titles, from 1985-1988. Star Distributors, LTD. operated out of a P.O. Box at the Canal Street Station in New York City.

The cover design features colored erotic illustrations by Crag Esposito and an artist who goes by Clément. All of the authors are anonymous. Many of the titles, as was Star Distributors' practice, would be republished under different imprints, such as the Young Stallions imprint.

The topic of all these titles appears to be sports, or, more specifically, what happens in the locker room, off the field and court. 
 
The numbering system begins with JS-101 and continues thusly.

These books can be found for between $20 to $143!
 
I continue to struggle when it comes to finding covers for these titles. I came up short four times this week. Here are the last ten titles.

Very hot illustrations.
They’ve gotten more and more explicit, no?
And you know the locker room has always been ripe for gay fantasy…

XOXO

It's interesting that these fetch such prices.
