The Fiction House comics were pretty much aimed at more "adult" audience than most in this era, and the "Blackout" pinups in this issue are blatant proof of that (as well as the 2 pages set aside for contributions from military men) --as if the general level of cheesecake art in the regular stories was not enough. One thing that amuses me is how none of the main characters have current first names: we've got Rip, Hooks, Shark, Dusty, Chip, Kayo (and "Senorita" Rio).The Fiction House comics were pretty much aimed at more "adult" audience than most in this era, and the "Blackout" pinups in this issue are blatant proof of that (as well as the 2 pages set aside for contributions from military men) --as if the general level of cheesecake art in the regular stories was not enough.
