Tijuana Bibles

Tijuana Bibles were wallet-sized, folded-and-stapled pamphlets that saw their heyday from the 1920s through the 1960s. The nickname "Tijuana Bible" caught on from the lore that these little books were being shipped over illegally from below the border, though history hints that the center of circulation seemed to be no place other than New York City. The majority of the Tijuana Bible artists remain unknown, though some (including Superman's Joe Shuster and Bazooka Joe's Wesley Morse) have been identified.

Typically in a about 6,5×10 cm format, running 8 pages long, the anonymous artists of the Tijuana Bibles cast many of America’s most beloved newspaper comic strip characters, movie stars and public figures into the role of exhibitionists, adulterers, and general sex-loving fiends.
