“Sure I Lust For Love,” She Smiled. “But What’s More I Also Love Lust!”
LOVE STARVED . . . and strangely addicted to her dangerous desires Cilo Haven searched the byways of her soul trying to find the ultimate in passions and pleasures of the flesh. That’s why so few men found her lacking in the intimate knowledge of love and desire . . . and fewer yet realized what kind of woman she really was . . . until it was too late for them to withdraw from the tendrils of her trap of . . . LUST AND SIN!”

From Heritage Auctions:

This painting was originally published as the cover for All True Police Detective Cases October, 1950, albeit in another variation (which would have been the original version of the painting). It was also slightly altered again and used later for the cover of Police Detective July, 1958. The current state of the painting is presumed to have been published a third time as a cover-though we were unable to nail down this usage

Obviously, I was able to nail down the usage, as well as add Best True Fact Detective July 1954

Here is some cover art sans covers. In fact, not only do I not have the covers, I can’t find the names of the paperback they were printed for, or in three cases even the names of the artists. However, they were just too good to not share.

If anyone has any more info about these paintings, please let me know. Enjoy!

Man Or Woman, Sister Or Brother, Her Lust Knew No Bounds!

Pitilessly Exposes The Depravity Of The True Addict, Who Takes Lovers Without Number, Performs Every Heinous Vice, In Order To Embrace Her One True Love… The Needle!

From the back:

One look at Gina and you knew she was a nice girl—nice on top, nice on bottom, even nicer in between. Furthermore, she had nice ideas, nice morals, and a nice head on her beautiful shoulders. But a beatnik named Bob slipped her a charge of heroin one night. After that, Gina was not so nice. . . .
First came the orgies of dope and dizzying lust. Then the long transports of shameless ecstasy in the grip of the drug. And finally, selling that “nice” body of hers to anybody for any purpose. For solely in this fashion could she earn enough to buy heroin for herself, for her Bob, and for sleazy Willy, her filthy protector and pimp.
Fighting desperately to escape the drug and the degradation, Gina knew that in love lay her one hope. But she was truly loved, it seemed, only by another girl—by green-eyed Lois, the young sister of a dangerous dope-pusher! And he walked in, one day, while Gina and Lois were warmly embracing! . . .
