Simon & Schuster, 1997. Second printing. Hardcover. Fine/very good. Oblong folio, 160 pages, white boards; inch tear at top panel of dj Introduction by Art Spieglemann. "One certain fact, confirmed by numerous anecdotes, is that these comic books were for many young men their first peek into the forbidden world of erotic intimacy - Acknowledgments". "Tijuana Bibles were the very first real comic books in America to do more than merely reprint old newspaper strips, predating by five or ten years the format we've now come to think of as comics. In any case, without the Tijuana Bibles there would never have been a MAD magazine - Spiegelmann."
