Return to The Book Fetish Thing

 
Newest Addition at the top

23: Fittingly this number is dedicated to The OKOK Society Newsletter #7, produced by Mark Reeve. I have included a larger version of the central image as it is so haunting.

22: Two girls in bikinis... one is whispering to the other... what is she whispering? Are they teen witches? Only The Shadow knows. Sent by Jupe Luoma.

21: Two items from Mark Reeve: One from "Exciting Cinema", the other a cassette cover...

20: Two cassette covers by your occult master: Mark Reeve

19: Two little jigsaws that came out of Kinder eggs. Sent to me by Timo Palonen. Why are they here? Well, why are you here?

18: Betley Welcomes Careful Drivers catalogue. One of the finest items to ever come through my letterbox. If you love strange noises, peculiar sound stuff and general odd listening, Phil Todd is yer man!

17: William S Burroughs. A nice b&w postcard sent to me by Kevin O'Donohoe, currently in the arms of Dublin town. Bill looks spooky here... even more than usual!

16: The Dead & The Hungry. Another part of the single sleeve mentioned below. May offend those opposed to Hell and Satan!

15: 27 Devils Joking. This is part of the sleeve of a split single on Rave Records, based in Philadelphia. The Other band is More Fiends. I don't actually have the single itself. Harold Dinkel sent me the sleeve... could any band deliver the music promised by these pictures? I wonder!

14: Yet more from Luca Valfre. A very strange image, photocopied from Kinokaze magazine , I should think. Very disturbing, yet oddly comforting. Like all the best art, maybe?

13: More images from Italian eccentric Luca Valfre. Top: A comic called Quimby, with the ugliest woman ever committed to paper. Bottom: Mary Whitehouse polishes Jesus in a jar, from an old WHITEHOUSE magazine I think.

12: Very odd page from a magazine, sent to me as a photocopy by Luca Valfre. A drawing of two girls involved in some reasonably odd bondage-type activity. A guilty pleasure... oh yes indeed!

11: A page from a 1998 calendar showing Miss America 1942... Nice sabre!

10: I forget who sent me this little leaflet, or even what country it's from... looks like Indonesia or somewhere... but I love it. Isn't the lady cop a honey?

9: Sleep Chamber flyers. The first seems to be for one of their albums, the second is for a wild New Years Eve party. I think Mark Reeve sent me these.

8: Roberto Accorti: A photo and a drawing from this Italian martial arts master.

7: Two more nice postcards: One of Robert Crumb (with extra O'Donohoe hand-colouring) and one collage from Obvious Front

6: Two fantabilistic zine things from GIT YER SOCKS OUTTA MY WASHER PRESS. Odd and inviting. Sent to me by Rudi Rubberoid I think.

5: Two luscious postcards here... one from Michael Leigh (whose collage work it displays), the other from Harold Dinkel... This one is of the infamous Divine in "Pink Flamingos". Can you spot the link between the two cards?

4: This gorgeous postcard was sent to me a couple of days ago (March 1999) and I think it's great. But I don't know who it's from yet... Soon I shall tell you... soon... STOP PRESS! I now know that it was done by Kim Davies. Cheers Kim!

3: I don't remember who sent me this, but I'd love to see some more. A page from a very bizarre Japanese comic. What could this character be called? Naked Flying Bow Pussy Lady?!? What kind of world are we living in?

2: Now, we move onto Page 2: Here we see my good friend Harold Dinkel's design for a renovation project mascot ... with added collage by Dink himself... Andy approves!

1: Begin, as all good stories do... at Page 1: Italian Flyer for "Special SEXY GATE": personal appearance by "Le Pornostar!" Selen, somewhere in Torino... (sent to me by Luca Valfré)
