At Midwood
|
|
F365.
THE YES GIRL – Moore. Cover reused on Edka 116, TEEN
INSATIA-BLES. >
|
 |
|
|
<F366.
TALL, BLONDE AND EVIL – Hamilton. Well, yes, she is tall,
and blonde, and we can see all the way up to Bakersfield.
F367.
HIS FOR THE TAKING – Draper. Not signed and not mistakable.
|
 |
|
|
<F371.
PRETTY PUPPET – Mayo.
F374.
IMPATIENT – Lawrence. Although not signed, this cover
was unanimously attributed to Rader by our panel of collectors.
Some even see a capital “R” by the car tire. A
beautiful Midwood no matter who painted it. >
|
 |
|
|
<F376.
ONLY IN SECRET – Craig. Rader would redo this cover for
Bee-Line 186, ALL THE GIRLS TOGETHER. Hair color and plant
size have been adjusted. > |
 |
|
|
<F378.
HIS DAUGHTER’S FRIEND – Trainer. Big Bob Tralins
told me this was a true story a friend of his had confessed
to him.
It’s
a great cover, with contour Coke bottles, and the Lolita-like
Lithe, and the colorful throw pillows that appear in so
many Rader covers. This one is reused on Private Edition
467, ANGEL. >
|
 |
|
|
<F380.
LOVE TOY – Frank G. Harris. Rader recycled this cover
for Bee-Line 195. Since STRANGE SISTERS is about twins, the
brunette becomes a blonde. > |
 |
|
|
<F381.
THE HOUSEGUEST – Kemp. Midwood’s lesbian titles
must have sold very well because they kept enlisting their
regulars to write more and more of them.
F386.
THE THIRD STREET – Ellis. >
|
 |
|
|
F389.
DANCE OF DESIRE – Russo. “R”. Pin-up fans can’t
understand the straight-laced types who label everything from
a tame 40’s ESQUIRE calendar to a porno photo “spread”
in a modern HUSTLER with the same brush, as “trash”.
To us there is a world of difference between the playful titillation
of covers like this and the crass vulgarity of what came later.
|
|
|
<F392.
CHAINS OF SILK – Balmer. Compare model with central figure
on F343 GIRLS DORMITORY. A bra has been added, but it’s
gone again when Rader recycles this cover art for Bee-Line
233, BACHELOR PAD. > |
 |
|
|
32-400.
TOO LATE FOR TEARS – Craig. The artist’s signature
is the capital letter “R”. Isaac Paul Rader perfectly
captured an intimate, private world of boudoirs and bathrooms,
where women in various states of dishabille are on view. On
occasion, as on this cover, they are nude studies. If Rader
saw any difference between this painting and the “classical”
nudes he studied and painted in Paris as a young man, he doesn’t
reveal it here. |
|
|
<32-411.
A LABOR OF LOVE – Kemp. Rader reused this for Private
Edition 406, THE WOMEN SHE HAD. >
|
 |
|
|
<32-415.
ONE AFTER ANOTHER – Fields. “R”. Cover art
reused on Edka 119, ANATOMY OF A SWAP. >

Edition 397, THE GAY AND THE GUILTY. >

GANG GIRL – Ellis. >

PARTY TIME – Kemp. Reused for Bee-Line 202, PRIVATE SCREENING.

|
 |

|
<32-436.
THREE OF A KIND – Ellis. 1965. When Rader reworked this
cover for Bee-Line 178, BETWEEN TWO WOMEN, the threesome became
a duo. >
|
 |
|
|
<32-437.
MISS DREAM GIRL – Hart. “R”.
32-450.
DAYTIME IN SUBURBIA – West. >
|
 |
|
|
32-455.
THE LOVE PIRATE – York. A lot of Rader paintings capture
a man staring, studying, enraptured by a beautiful woman.
It is only after looking at the painting for some time that
we realize we are studying her too, in exactly the same way,
from our side of the canvas. |
|
|
<32-464.
OPEN HOUSE –Ellis. Reused on Bee-Line 211, THE LOVE RACKET,
a book about a sexy tennis pro. > |
