Gay pulp fiction by Victor J. Banis under his Victor Jay pseudonym, one of several he employed for his prolific output of gay paperback fiction in the 1960s and 70s. Banis was a pioneering figure in gay genre fiction, among the first American writers to place openly gay protagonists at the centre of mass-market paperbacks, not as villains, victims, or cautionary figures, but as sympathetic leads in adventure, mystery, and comedy. This copy signed by Banis to the title page.
