	Tijuana Bibles St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture - Find Articles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The name "Tijuana Bible" plays off the fictitious foreign addresses that were given as the place of publication.
		Comic book historian Donald Gilmore, in the first scholarly study of the genre, noted that Tijuana Bibles were "conceived in dark attics, published in dingy garages on unnamed alleys, and distributed from the hip pockets of vendors across the nation.
		Some Tijuana Bibles that were more explicitly political in one way: they featured such world figures as Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Chiang Kai-shek, and even Whittaker Chambers (a Cold War spy who, a recent biography confirms, was a bisexual, just as he was portrayed in a Tijuana Bible from the late 1940s).

	Tijuana bible - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tijuana bibles (also known as "eight-pagers") were pornographic comic books produced in the United States from the 1920s to the early 1960s.
		It is also possible that the name is simply an ironic coinage, Tijuana being stereotypically seen in the U.S. as uncivilized and debauched, while the Bible, perceived as the pinnacle of chaste morality, stands as far removed from pornography as possible.
		Tijuana bibles were sold illicitly, often passed among soldiers and schoolboys.

		As a matter of fact, though nobody has been eager to bring it up before, the Tijuana Bibles were the first real comic books in America to do more than merely reprint old newspaper strips, predating by five or ten years the format we've now come to think of as comics.
		The Tijuana Bibles probably weren't produced in Tijuana (or Havana, Paris or London, as some of the covers imply), and they obviously weren't Bibles.
		These books might have been called Tijuana Bibles as gleefully sacrilegious pre-NAFTA slurs against Mexicans, to throw G-men off the trail, or because the West Coast border towns were an important supplier of all sorts of sin.

		However, some 10 to 15 years before they commenced their explicit, often offensive cartoons, another genre of pornographic graphics was dying out, the so-called "Tijuana Bibles" (or sometimes "Cuban Bibles," "French Bibles," etc.).
		Also, all but a few of the artists were anonymous, and the printings were not done in the exotic locales of Havana, Tijuana, or London (as the little booklets claimed), but probably in some basement with a mob type watching over the production.
		If you have this overview of the history of Tijuana Bibles around, keep it away from the kids, unless they are curious about the sex life of Dick Tracy or Dagwood Bumstead.

		Clark Gable, Laurel & Hardy, Mae West, Donald Duck, the Marx Brothers, Jimmy Durante, Joan Crawford, Mutt & Jeff, you name a pop icon of the time, for sure there was a Tijuana Bible drawn of them.
		Why the name 'Tijuana Bible?' Because they were supposedly printed in Tijuana Mexico, and smuggled into the States hidden in stacks of Bibles.
		They're known by other names--'Bluesies' (for obvious reasons, our bass player Blue Demon likes this name the best) and 'Eight-pagers' (the comics were generally eight pages long, one panel per page), but the most popular was Tijuana Bibles.
