Young Women Driven To Crime To Satisfy Their Wanton Desires!

Whether they were called Juvenile Delinquents (or JDs), Gun Molls, Prison Brides, Motorcycle Mamas, or Hot Rod Honeys, they were all “Gang Girls” and the tough-as-nails subject of this issue of MEN’S ADVENTURE QUARTERLY.

In post World War II America, teens were pushing the boundaries of what was considered acceptable behavior, and causing major concern amongst parents and the government. The Kefauver Commission in Congress held hearings to discover the root causes of juvenile delinquency, but this “problem” wasn’t only in America, as Teens around the globe pushed their boundaries. Of course, the men’s adventure magazines, paperbacks, and B-movies all saw yet another genre of crime, violence and sex to exploit for their hungry audiences. MEN’S ADVENTURE QUARTERLY takes on the Gang Girl genre in all its forms giving you a peek at the evolution of female outlaws in a variety of media who live beyond the polite boundaries of society. Joining us in this expose’ of female crime are retromedia expert Jules Burt, and pulp culture author Andrew Nette both of whom provide a comprehensive perspective on Gang Girls from the UK and the AU.

Get ready to enjoy the best in Gang Girl stories and articles ripped from the headlines and the pages of men’s adventure magazines.

JAILBAIT STREET

Running wild from darkness till dawn - snatching at love in deserted alleys or lonely rooftops - today's tough juvenile punks have turned our city streets into asphalt jungles of terror and lawlessness.

This is the savagely realistic story of a teen-age gang - the Sultans - and their mixed-up leader, Silkie Meegan, whose desperate search for manhood drove him into frenzied excesses of violence and vice. . .

From the vengeance beating with bicycle chains of a rival gang. . .to the degraded sharing of sweet virginal Carol with the rest of his gang. And finally to the fateful family feud with his own father over Charlotte - his father's prostitute mistress - who first taught Silkie her own kind of Jailbait Street love, then hired him to dig up new "business" for her.

In dingy hotel rooms, in public places, in ordinary peoples' houses, the exterminator goes about his business: his quarry is vermin, the vermin of society. . .

Moving in space and time between the society we know, and the edge of another galaxy light years away, this savage study of violence, hypocrisy and the abuse of power is at once tragic and comic, satirical and pathetic. William Burroughs has created an incredible nightmare world, peopled by junkies, pimps, quack doctors and green adolescents - weird and disturbing characters like the Lemon Kid, basic J. Audrey the homosexual. . .and the EXTERMINATOR himself. . .

When wholesale slaughter erupts, the battle continues underground where the survivors evolve into The Wild Boys, hordes of pitiless homosexual warriors who move in and destroy the cities - until civilisation collapses, revealing a future of horrifying dimensions. . .
