More TJ Bible stuff, Underground or both?

[dr_s]

What are the Murkey Books? Is that the company or author. What format are they, like the Greenleaf or like the mags. Are they Bible reprints or like the Sadomasochism?
At this point, I has sent scans of all of the PBs that I have, but not the mags.

I think Robert Murkey is the author.
Bill Griffith responded to an e-mail to state that the 1969 one isn't associated with the 2 from 1977 (except by maybe lifting the name?).
He has a #2 on this site for $75.

I think Robert Murkey is the author.

I stumbled onto that same article a few months ago and it got me looking for the mysterious "Murkey" books, thinking that they were also listed in the bibliography in Adelman's TJB book (they weren't), but the writer cites C. J. Scheiner as his source for that info, and having done business with that guy and having a few of his very detailed catalogs, if he says they exist then there is no reason to think otherwise....but he's not the easiest guy to pin down.  Maybe Gooddr. has done business with him as he lives in NY somewhere, or at least used to if he's still alive.  I think he was even an advisor on a Stanley Kubrick film (Eyes Wide Shut, I believe).  He's a bit of a guarded type, I think, but I spoke to him on the phone many years ago when I was collecting obscure Sex Crime books, and he turned me on to a lot of stuff I was unaware of.  But I lost track of him and forgot about him until I saw that article you sited above.  Murkey, indeed!

WP,

Could you list the publisher of those 2 books listed above to update the Wiki?  I know Speigelman edited vol. 2 and Griffith did the cover, but who published them and who did the cover for #1, if stated?

[wpbooks]

The cover for #1 is by Art Spiegelman under the pseudonym Al Floogleman, (see the scan of the original diptych he did for my copies below, signed with the pseudonym but changed for some reason to Al Flooglehorn).  The publisher is not listed, but since you made me open the books I just noticed that R. Murky is listed as the original owner of the archive the books came from...so the book YOU cite has the spelling wrong and it is indeed "the Tia juana Revival's" pictured above that the reference is for....I'm guessing there is no other book by Murky besides these. "Hot Nuts" is copyright 1977 from Penetrating Pubs. Inc of Blue Balls, PA and ' "Under The Stars Of Hollywood" is copied right(sic) Paramounds Prod. Hooker, California'.  I suspect the books were probably published by The Belier Press as that is where they could be ordered from on the solicitation I scanned and posted on the other forum.  The reverse of the solicitation advertisement is the ad for R. Crumbs Carload Of Comics which you can kind of see in the scan below.  I'll try to crank up the old scanner and post a scan of it, but right now I've got to get ready to go to one of my jobs.  Thanks for being persistent as the R. Murky mystery has now been cleared up and I can stop trying to find that "phantom" book(s)

I've updated the Wiki on the "T" page at least.
I noted on the vol. One that it appeared the Tia juana was seperated, but then on vol. Two it doesn't on the cover.

I licked the screen.
Didn't get high, didn't get off.
Sorry you loose.

I believe you need to removed the glass then lick, I'm sure you'll get plenty high then...
