Snappy Stories 1924-04-01 v81n03.New Fiction cover Valentine (MCS Darwin Edit)
Dealton Valentine, April 1 1924, Snappy Stories.
Oh, Adam. You dumb schmuck.
According to Doug Ellis' Uncensored: The Hidden Art of the Girlie Pulp, this issue was banned in New England and the circulation director of the magazine was sentenced to 6 months in jail (commuted to a $1000 fine). Why the poor circulation director should take the fall is beyond me but a common story in obscenity cases wherein lower figures on the magazine totem pole were persecuted in the stead of the actual publishers. Meanwhile, a nude Eve is selling copies like Hotcakes.
