ELECTRA: The Girl from Outer Space

***ADULTS ONLY!*** It was always a bit more interesting when adult magazines from the 70's would offer up something different than the usual straight-forward bed/poolside/wheatfield nudie girl lay-out themes. And while there isn't a whole lot of assorted variety in ELECTRA's posing here, this was still quite the memorable 5 pages of electrifyin' space babery from my early youth. I mean, seriously, for me the only thing that ever came close to mixing girls and horror, was mixing girls with science fiction. From the May 1976 issue of Larry Flint's almighty, Hustler.

  2. Electra's story sounds like a 1970's remake of "Devil Girl from Mars", and a few other movies made under the same premise.

  3. Absolute sickening filth ... uh, when are you going to post the rest of the issue?

    Yeah, I certainly went through a lot of Hustler's in my day and frankly this is pretty cool for what generally passed over and over again in that mag. Sure, it's a black plastic background but pasting on all the jewels and getting the kind of dark lighting to work right took some time, so bravo for trying something different!

    I do remember another space layout but that had a bunch of alien sfx, if, and obviously everybody, knows what I mean.

  4. I love groovy spacey stuff like this the most, I think. Starlight filters and bejewels for the win! She looks like she should be painted on a the back glass of a pinball machine. Mmmm, I could really go for a large, cold concession stand Slushy cup full of quarters right about now....

    What we were talking about?
