MOD RULE

(London): New English Library / Times Mirror, 1980. First printing. Very good.. Scarce first edition of this final entry in Allen's SKINHEAD series. Prolific pulp writer James Moffatt - often writing under one of his many pseudonyms - published hundreds of pulp novels in his lifetime, but none more commercially successful than the provocative SKINHEAD series of "youthsploitation" novels. Centered on on the exploits of the terminally delinquent Joe Hawkins (the Skinhead in question) the series is rife with sex crimes, violence, sentiments of racial hatred, and general thuggery. This volume, the final of the series, follows Hawkins's son against the backdrop of the Mod-revival subculture. 7'' x 4.25''. Original color photographic wrappers. 180 pages. Some wear, shallow cut to bottom edge, else sturdy and sound.
