THE COMPLETE RICHARD ALLEN

(Dunoon, Scotland): (S.T. Publishing), 1997. Overall near fine.. Complete six-volume set of Allen's SKINHEAD series - a "pulp fiction world of crime, sex and aggro." 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 six-volume set contains the entirety of the SKINHEAD series, with three titles per book. "Not for sale to hippies," proclaims the back cover of one installment. Indeed. Six volumes, 7.75''. x 5'' each. Original color photographic wrappers. Ranging between 228 and 288 pages. Wrappers with light wear. Firm.
