The Gay Jungle
Archive: Images
The interesting thing about The Gay Jungle is the attempt to emulate the style of the painted covers used by mainstream paperback publishers. The object of desire surrounded by learning admirers in this manner is typical of, say, Paperback Library when the wanted to trick folks into buying a novel by Zola.
While early gay erotica sometimes sported appealing line art there weren?t painters comparable to Rudolph Belarkski and other collected paperback cover artists.
Once again we see those odd looking eyes that evidently implied queer back then at least to the publishers.

I'm a happily gay atheist. Homophobic, racist comments and conversion attempts are deleted.
Disagreement is fine but hate speech won't be tolerated. Even if you share my prejudices I'd rather you not insult other people who leave comments here.
This is a personal hobby and shouldn't be confused with a more general sort of public forum or chatroom. you'd like to know more about me check about page.
