Pulp Fiction : Avenging Nymph by Hank Janson, 1958 - or what passed as risque in 1958

Now that's what I call pulp fiction! Brilliant anonymous cover to the 1958 printing of "Avenging Nymph" by "Hank Janson". The inside cover notes that it is 'translated from the French', possibly to give it an added air of allure, things "French" being considered very edgy back in those days! 2/6,or half a crown, and 12.5p in decimal currency - that was the price of a Ladybird Book or Matchbox toys then (and that is what my money went on!).
