In the back pages of this Gold Medal 1952 paperback that I've
got, called CARTOON LAFFS (a collection of `toons from the
men's mag, TRUE-showcasing the mass-market surrealism of
Virgil Partch, amongst others) is a listing of other titles
you can order. Some choice entries follow:
113. THE VIOLENT ONES Howard Hunt Red fury drove Paul Cameron
to Paris, into a maelstrom of intrigue, violence, and quick
death on every side.
139. STOLEN WOMAN Wade Miller Burke's magnetism for women and
his appetite for unusual adventure got him into a jam. By the
author of DEVIL MAY CARE.
151. DEATH & THE NAKED LADY John Flagg Murder stalks the
jaded beauties of the International Set aboard a luxury
liner. By the author of THE PERSIAN CAT.
165. EVERYBODY HAD A GUN Richard S. Prather Usually the
private eye is trailing someone. This time Shell Scott found
that everybody in Los Angeles was on his trail. Including a
gorgeous redhead.
166. I CAN'T STOP RUNNING Edward Ronns He had a date with
death. He'd missed the appointment in Korea, but here on the
Florida Keys there would be no way out.
170. DEATH ON THE FERRIS WHEEL Aylwin Lee Martin From a car
high on the ferris wheel he fell-his shirt front scarlet with
blood. Three lovely women breathed easier.
196. SO RICH, SO DEAD Gil Brewer It was blood money and its
trail was read. Bill snatched it and ran-through hours of
terror-when the arms of a woman were as deadly as
bullets.
227. THE CREEPING SHADOW Sam Merwin, Jr. There was a firebug
loose in the town-a maniac who set fires to satisfy a strange
craving. Suspense, terror, and a shocking surprise
ending.
235. THE AVENGER Matthew Blood Morgan Wayne walked alone into
the heart of gangland. He knew neither fear nor mercy-only
that his gun wrote justice.
