Description: Original 1930’s Tijuana bibles! Please Google these if not sure of history but I will give you some! These are the original 8 pagers NOT REPRINTS! These were illegal at the time and authorities often seized shipments before they could be distributed. In November 1942, New York City Police and the FBI raided an eight-pager comics warehouse in the South Bronx. They reportedly seized 8 million Tijuana Bibles and learned that seven tons of material had already gone out the door and were sitting at regional distribution centers in Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Indianapolis. At the 1939 World’s Fair, employees sold the pornographic booklets under the counter at some of the rides for 25 cents. They were tailed by the police to a Brooklyn Navy Yard where 350,000 copies and several printing plates were confiscated. Still, they retained their popularity.Great little Pieces of history so bid to win!
