The Erotic SpyBy: Edward D. Wood, Jr.Pseudonym: Abbott Smith, 1968

 Item — Box: 1

Scope and Contents

Publisher: Pendulum Publishers, Los AngelesPhoto Illustrated (b&w)[Pendulum Pictorials was a series akin to the Olympic Foto-Reader, wherein text was accompanied by photo stills from a film. As far as the Pendulum Pictorials go, it is highly doubtful that any moving picture ever existed and rather the still photographs were taken with the purpose of illustrating the book. The Erotic Spy featured the character "The Gold Girl" who was also in the film Orgy of the Dead, played by Pat Barrington. A note from the Editor: "Gold Girl is one of the most exciting characters to have emerged from the world of fiction in recent years. Completely amoral, infinitely and diabolically clever, willing to use her voluptuous body in absolutely any way to achieve her ends, Gold Girl is, perhaps, fiction’s most formidable adversary since Superman...Because Gold Girl’s relations with everyone she met – men and women alike – are heavily weighted with sexual overtones, the film was produced exclusively for adult audiences."]
