Rafael Pizarro didn't actually exist. In this alternative history he is a Spanish painter - a protege of Picasso's. For a short while I was fooled. There's a lot about painting and Picasso and the art scene in Paris just before and during the Spanish Civil war which is worthwhile. The subplot is about Pizarro's angst at growing old and losing his erection & muse for painting. The sub-sub plot takes on a mystical bent when he consults his local witch. It's about then that I lost interest.

The NSW State Library review here of the exhibition - http://www.sl.nsw.gov.au/events/exhib ... The Catalogue can be bought for a donation or downloaded here http://www.sl.nsw.gov.au/events/exhib ... the download version is 64 pages. Pulp Confidential: Quick & dirty publishing from the 40s & 50s presents a rich collection of 1940s and 50s vintage Australian "pulp" cover art, crime story illustrations and original comic books, drawn from the papers of Sydney publishing house, Frank Johnson Publications. It gives a glimpse of the everyday workings of a small but resilient player at the hard-scrabble end of the Australian publishing industry. I went to this, it was awesome. The catalogue is small but informative. Decent photographs and info. Contains a bio of the publisher Frank Johnson and documents his achievements and papers from his estate. Some totally stunning artwork and cheesy sleezy covers, including rare Australian comics - anyone remember Wanda Dare and Mighty Comics - Jo and her amazing cape? The exhibition and catalogue feature True crime and Mystery covers - many from the period during WW2 when imported books and comics were banned in Australia. The titles seem hip and surprisingly modern along with the colours still bright in the artwork but back then it wasn't considered high literature, but pure pulp, of the quick and dirty type. Most of the covers seem familiar to me even though I was too young to actually read them I am sure I recognise some of them. It was amusing to read that the Publishing Office was located in GRUB Street. ! ha sounds like skid row but was actually a high end of Sydney at the time. A must see. A must read for Ephemera Freaks. I'm going back next week with my camera and to sniff the papers, and get more of the high from the memories. Love this kind of dope. I even splurged and bought copies of some of the ephemera, postcards and suchlike. You can also buy that gear online at their website..... It's legal. :P
