Fanny Hillman : Memoirs of a Jewish Madam
48pp; fully illustrated in black and white. Printed light card covers, stapled. Wear to covers and spine. Inscription to previous owner inside front cover. 16mo. Hilarious collection of cartoons and sketches. The 1960s were filled with Jewish humour and burgeoning sexuality, and these two things collided in the formation of Fanny Hillman, a matronly woman who ran her well-regarded house of ill repute with a very Yiddish twang. Madam Hillman was the star of a series of cartoon booklets, created by a very Jewish writing staff and drawn by an artist who was left off the credit page but whose identity was clear at a glance: Mad Magazine's marginal master, the (very not Jewish) Sergio Aragon's. 16mo.
