I need to find part two! Who would have tho’t Robin Williams would be in a conversation & wouldn't be able to get a word in edgewise! Enter Harlan Ellison. Crazy stuff. #writers #scifi #BookSky #comedy #MovieSky

Damn, if I didn't find ol' Woodford in another France magazine! "Moon and Sex Pants," CHÉRE 1, 1962, International Publications, Inc. #writer #magazine P.S. Sorry I censored a magnificent set of boobies...

"Special Moon Issue". SPACEWAY Science Fiction, Oct '69 (Fantasy Publishing Co.). Note: Forrest J Ackerman, agent to many writers at France Books. # Did they really land on the moon in '69? If so, why all the hubbub now about going back 56 years later? #scifi #magazine

THE LAWLESS DECADE: A Pictorial History of the Twenties, Paul Sann (Fawcett Gold Medal, '71). I've seen the film with Clara Bow (far left)--I can't recall what it is or if it is a complete film today)--but I see this still image everywhere...and it drives me mad! This is why she was the "IT" girl!

MATING MANUAL; A Cartoon Book with a Purpose, Remer Keller (Bantam, '57)

SIN AND SIN AGAIN, Dale Greggsen (Domino Book, '66).

1. My #Bluesky thing is purposefully light, an escape; I try to be apolitical here, but I am not apolitical. Anyway, someone sent me this article; while not new, I found it reassuring of how I feel--it might be more reassuring now.

This is a hoot! Issac Asimov, Harlan Ellison, & Gene Wolfe interviewed by Studs Terkel & Calvin Trillin. No, it's not an SNL skit. Was on the network that became A&E back in '82. #scifi

Like, I keep coming across pseudonyms at France Books & magazines that seem to stem from jazz cats, dig? Crazy, man. Both '62. (Of course, Bill Leslie is only on the spine & title page of THE VIOLATOR; I presently only have a scan of the cover & text.) #BookSky

Celebrating the first day of Fall at Buffalo Pass near Steamboat Springs,CO.

STARLING STORIES, Nov. '48 (Better Publications). This one has it all. Arthur C. Clarke, Ray Bradbury, Jack Vance, and A. E. Van Vogt, etc. Letter from Marion Zimmer Bradley (whose reputation has been posthumously tarnished). Illustrations by Napoli, Finlay, etc. #scifi #magazine #art

STRANGER IN TOWN, Howard Hunt (Signet, '49). E. Howard Hunt was a CIA agent, one of Pres. Nixon's "Plumbers". #BookSky

AMAZING STORIES, June '35 (Tech Publications--I tho't this would have been Ziff-Davis). Great cover. #art #magazine

*gestures to everything*

Calling card of Shirley, the Absolute Empress of the Imperial Council of San Francisco from 1967-1968.

TEN FROM INFINITY, Ivar Jorgensen (Paul F. Fairman)(Monarch Books, ‘63). I just bought a lot of Monarchs, mostly sci-fi. #BookSky #scifi

Was Conan in the Ramones? #BookSky #MusicSky

SEAGOING SEXPOT, Joe Marten (Pillow Book, '62). I like this cover. But I nearly didn't post it after reading the blurb. It's anti-erotic. A crime story. I tho't the weird stuff started in the late 60s (after some legal cases). This isn't my cup of tea content-wise. Are U also taken aback? #BookSky

I tho’t you-all would totally be, like, “Hell, yea, these Ramones’ lyrics from "Bonzo Goes to Bitburg" [below] totally can apply to the Trump administration!” But, alas…better stick to sleaze & stf. That’s sort for scientifiction if you’re behind on yr 1940s ’zines. This guy would know. Coming soon.

Who 'dis? Coming soon. Don't give it away, @buzzdixon.bsky.social. #BookSky #scifi (hints)

SIR KNIGHT, vol 1, no 1, (Sirkay Publishing, '58). Bimonthly. #magazines #art Seems like #sideboob would be a thing perhaps. Yes? No? Well, here the other contents...

ROCK ME BABY!, Greg Randolph (Intimate Edition 707, 1962). Publisher David Zentner's first line of adult books was Epic Books (ca. 1961-1962). "Bop king Dickie Wild was the idol of the millions of screaming teen-agers...but his private love life would have made even Casanova blush!" #BookSky

ILLICIT BED, Fred MacDonald aka Charles Nuetzel (France F-62, '63). Albert Nuetzell (used 2 Ls) did the art. Father & son paired many times, incldg for IMAGES OF TOMORROW (Powell, '69). Note their agent did an intro for the latter. Illicit Bed was reprinted more than once as JEAN. #booksky #scifi

If there's one thing that makes me sick It's when someone tries to hide behind politics I wish that time could go by fast Somehow they manage to make it last

“It’s a Grey World”, American Paranoia, Attitude Adjustment (Pusmort Records, ‘86)

Look at this old receipt I found in this book! I'm probably the 3rd owner & the 2nd one got it signed. When I interviewed Jean Marie Stine, she mentioned Harlan Ellison writing in this bookshop's window as if a display and I think they had Poul Anderson's typewriter there. #BookSky

IF. (Sometimes THE WORLD OF IF.) I needed to bring some sci-fi into this rash of post. Digest Productions, '60. Philip José Farmer and more. #BookSky OK, it's a #magazine. With great #art on the cover. This is what it feels like to be on a diet let alone in the future with tiny pill-like food.

WINESBURG, OHIO, Sherwood Anderson (Penguin, '46). If you haven't ready this, you missed out. Great fucking writing. Pal of Jack Woodford (see other posts for that guy). #Booksky

When I did my Bill Danch video— youtu.be/cT8hr8isayc —how did I miss this book! Lovers: Oral! by William Danch (Triumph News…’69, dude). #Booksky

Thanks for following, @arniecat.bsky.social! I see you are a vegetarian--please post some dishes! I had this--No. 2, Vegi--over the wkend thanks to a lil' Mr. Pickles franchise in the Bay Area (altho I had it on a sourdough roll & nixed the sprouts). Avo, cukes, Provolone + the works. Go veg!

WRONG WAY LOVE, Fern Burke (Softcover Library, 1965)

@buzzdixon.bsky.social, I enjoyed yr blog today. We have the late Harry Thomas to thank for the makeup in the film pictured. Imagine if he did this to the aliens in Ed Wood's Plan 9 From Outer Space like he wanted to do! Harry had a cameo in Wood's 1st film in which he also did makeup. #MovieSky

Boo Boo Kitty.

How have not seen this by now? #booksky #magazine #writers

Ever buy a CD that you meant to buy 36 years ago (but you were a broke kid & cassette or vinyl could have also been an option)? #musicsky
