The only Not in Heckmonwike Heckmondwike second hand book shop

Though this copy looks scruffy it is unread and as good as you will get, I think. No illustrations and the pages are unnumbered, no one else has bothered to count them, and I haven’t either. Published in 2014, this is what it says about itself;
..and this is the guilty cover

Not what you expected, there are pin-ups in some issues but very respectable (if you don’t mind the odd nipple. But lots of other “stuff”, though unfortunately the earlier issues have no index. The list shows issues I have available, great birthday presents for 60 year olds.
The covers swing between “celebs” (when they were actually celebs) and rakish cartoons, November ’54 is remarkably like a Stephen Fry character.

Curtis Books, London, 1951. Paperback. Condition: Poor. One of the six “Azan the Ape Man” titles published by Curtis Warren Limited in the early 1950s, before they had to cease and desist when the Edgar Rice Burroughs estate took them to court for being way too obvious about ripping off the Tarzan idea. Garron was a pen name of David Arthur Griffiths, an editor at Curtis Warren. A paperback original. Great cover art by Terry Maloney, of knife-wielding Azan about to rescue a beautiful babe tied to a stake. All the Azan titles are uncommon. Unfortunately this one is in poor shape The spine is all but missing (repaired with “Magic” Tape) the staples are rusty and the paper is just starting to show it’s 70 years– Size: 12mo – over 6¾” – 7¾” tall.
Thanks to Black Falcon Books for the info.
I can’t find a copy for sale on t’internet so I am offering this one for £25.00.
