1982235301982. Four Transvestite Fiction Booklets containing reflections on gender trans identity self expression from 1982-1994 including story titles such as "Sissy in Satin" "Living Doll" "Jim into Jamie" "Trapped in Panties" and "My Husband Married Me To be a Woman." A first-person passage states that a transvestite needs "feedback from others" to understand "gait" "voice" and "other mannerisms" while "perfecting a gender role" placing social performance and self-assessment inside the language of everyday presentation. The group emerged during a period when queer and trans communities faced AIDS-era stigma homophobic public discourse and the lingering legal and social memory of anti-crossdressing enforcement in American cities. By 1980 defendants had challenged cross-dressing arrests in at least sixteen cities while the domestic HIV/AIDS epidemic began in 1981 and intensified public hostility toward already stigmatized queer communities. These booklets preserve small-press fiction created for readers seeking transvestite crossdressing and transfeminine narratives outside mainstream publishing with fantasy plots gender transformation motifs and direct language about feminine identity appearing within the same print culture.<br /> <br /> Crossdressing and Transvestite Fiction Booklets. Seattle and s.l.: Empathy Press and unidentified publishers 1982 to 1994 and undated. Four staple-bound booklets each approximately 50 pages including two Empathy Press titles and two related transvestite or crossdressing fiction titles.<br /> 1 Slavik Charles. Skirted Men: Tales of Transvestism. Book 2. Seattle: Empathy Press 1982. The contents page lists "Sissy in Satin" beginning on page 4 with copyright credited to Charles Slavik and the publisher given as Empathy Press P.O. Box 12466 Seattle Washington 98111. Princeton cataloging identifies Charles Slavik as creator of another Empathy Press Skirted Men issue confirming the publisher's place within late twentieth-century LGBTQIA periodical and ephemera collecting.<br /> 2 TV Queens Fiction Digest. Number 23. Seattle: Empathy Press 1990. The contents page lists "Living Doll" "Jim into Jamie" and "Trapped in Panties" and the imprint invites readers to send material if they "enjoy writing and would like to see your fantasies in print." That solicitation places the digest within a participatory reader-writer circuit where fantasy manuscripts could move from private desire into small-run printed circulation.<br /> 3 Secret Pleasures: The Crossdressing Experience. Book 16. Seattle: Empathy Press 1994. The contents page gives the story title "My Husband Married Me To be a Woman" and the front cover identifies the work as "A Transvestite Fiction Fantasy." Gerber/Hart's transgender periodicals exhibit describes Cathy Charles Slavik's Empathy Press enterprise as evolving by the early 1970s into several concurrent trans-oriented magazines giving this later booklet a connection to a publisher with a longer transvestite and trans readership history.<br /> 4 Silky Slip-Ups. S.l.: s.n. undated. The cover caption reads "Coming out. Caught out. Found out. BUT EVENTUAL ECSTACY" using discovery exposure and eventual pleasure as the narrative promise. The cover art and title align the booklet with forced-feminization and crossdressing fiction conventions described in trans small-press fiction where many plots turn on coerced dressing transformation or power exchange.<br /> <br /> The booklets use the historical vocabulary of "transvestism" "crossdressing" "feminine identity" and "gender role" before "transgender" became the dominant umbrella term in many public and archival contexts. Their contents connect erotic fantasy to questions of passing social recognition voice gait coming out exposure and reader participation making the group especially useful for tracing how trans and crossdressing readers articulated identity through small-format fiction during the 1980s and 1990s. All four booklets are in very good condition with intact spines minor price-sticker residue light discoloration and handling wear to the covers. The group preserves an early small-press record of transvestite and crossdressing fiction made around the desires anxieties vocabulary and self-fashioning practices of its own readership. unknown

These issues date from a 1954-1955 run in which Atlas Comics the label that developed into Marvel Comics featuring one of the earliest Black lead features in American mainstream comics Waku: Prince of the Bantu. Marvel has identified Waku as the first regular Black lead character in its publishing history and these issues give the character cover billing and stories including "Fire Spirit" "Blood Brother to the Lions!" and "Trial by Fire!" alongside recurring Jann of the Jungle features such as "Rampage!" "Jungle Fangs!" and "Swamp Fever!". Jungle Tales ran for seven issues from September 1954 to September 1955 with numbering then continuing as Jann of the Jungle no. 8. <br /> Jungle Tales. New York: Classic Syndicate Inc. for Atlas Comics 1954-1955. Group of 3 issues: vol. 1 no. 1 September 1954; vol. 1 no. 5 May 1955; vol. 1 no. 7 September 1955.

Vol. 1 no. 1. New York: Classic Syndicate Inc. September 1954. First issue of the series with a red cover introducing the title and cover panels for Cliff Mason Jann of the Jungle Waku Prince of the Bantu and The Unknown Jungle. The Waku feature is titled "Fire Spirit." His story opens with the death of Chief Kaba whose final command binds his son to the jungle's fire spirit and forces Waku into exile rather than immediate succession. Waku kills the wild bull marauding the village learns that the hunter Mabu has profited by sending white hunters after elephant herds and returns when Kaba's spirit releases him from his vow ending with Waku restored as leader of the Bantu beside Lalei.<br /> 2 Jungle Tales.

Yellow cover with five-panel layout and the Comics Code Authority seal naming Jann of the Jungle Cliff Mason White Hunter Waku Prince of the Bantu and The Unknown Jungle. The Waku feature "Blood Brother to the Lions!" begins with h is defeat of Naru for leadership but the dispute continues when Kom drives Waku into the jungle and Lalei follows him into danger.

Waku escapes captivity survives the monkey assault defeats Kojii in the trial by fire and the story closes with Lalei and the great bird carrying the Bantu out of the flames while Kojii acknowledges that Waku remains the true ruler.<br /> These issues preserve a short-lived title in which a Black hero regarded by some as a direct predecessor to the later Marvel superhero Black Panther carried a recurring feature and cover representation in a mainstream American comic. Front and back wrappers on vol. 1 no. 1 fully detached; some light toning and edge wear consistent with age and handling across the group otherwise good. Overall fair to good condition. A three-issue group of Jungle Tales featuring the earliest appearance of Waku Prince of the Bantu the first Black hero in Marvel's publishing history. unknown

192419001TYPED LETTER SIGNED dated March 28th 1924 on RURAL PUBLISHING CORP. stationery to author and famous member of the Lovecraftian Circle Frank Belknap Long about 375 words stating that Long's story THE DESERT LICH has unfortuantely been delayed as it was decided that one man namely Edust-wrapper in Baird could not possibly have the time to be editor for WEIRD TALES DETECTIVE TALES and their new venture GHOST STORIES and thus he "will assume the editorial helm of WEIRD TALES & GHOST STORIES" that he has "read several thousand manuscripts when he was a reader for Baird and that he knows the thrill that comes of discovering a distinctively written story" that he "wishes to use DESERT LICH Long's accepted tale in the combination summer issue for June July & August which we are making triple size and putting out to clear the deck for the issuance of GHOST STORIES" "that their rates are not yet as high he would like them to be and that by summer he hopes we can pay on a pay on acceptance basis" and that "Our rates at present are one cent a word". He finishes with these plaudits for Lovecraft: "Please thank Mr. Lovecraft for me for turning THE DESET LlICH our way. And I want to thank you also for telling me of other Lovecraft stories that I have not yet seen. I would as soon think of changing a line or a word or a title of Mr. Lovecrat's work as I would rewriting an Edgar Allen Poe story. He is to my way of thinking the supreme master of weird tales whose mastery is not accidental but the result of careful and directed thought. So far I have seen Mr. Lovecraft's works only in print for I have not had the thrill of reading them in manuscript. I have not even read HYPNOS but I am looking forward to reading the page proofs of the May Weird Tales which contains the story. But those that I have read in the magazine-----THE HOUND THE RATS IN THE WALL DAGON----are marvels of writercraft." Letters from Wright the acknowledged foremost editor of Weird Tales are notoriously scarce and I know of none earlier. They rarely surface on the market place. Indeed letters with a full strong signature of Wright are rarer still as he was virtually unable to sign anything due to Parkinsons disease by 1930. So here's your chance to snatch a piece of history from one major player in the Golden Age of Science Fiction and Weird Tales specifically to another. The earliest letter I have seen by Farnsworth Wright. N.p. unknown
