It's a boom time for bazooms in 21st century America - and it isn't just males who are breast-obsessed - the fairer sex is too. The insatiable quest for the 'perfect pair' has jettisoned the procedure to the second most popular form of plastic surgery in the world. There was a time, however, when their low-budget portrayal in comic books, paperbacks and pulps came under fervid assault, and effectively squelched, by the media censors. Headlight Honeys assembles dozens of rare, salacious cover examples and delivers the scoop on this harrowing, pre-code era in American publishing.
