Scandalously frank, boldly graphic, The Beautiful Couple is far and away the big shocker of the season. Some famous Hollywood personalities praise the book (they aren`t in it), many others attack it (they are!), and a few have threatened to sue over its highly specific portrayals of very public people in very private situations. Now, for the first time, The Beautiful Couple is available in an uncensored paperback edition. Read it and see what they`re raving - and ranting - about.

In the 1940s and 1950s, Woolfolk penned the stories of Batman, Captain America, Captain Marvel, Plastic Man, The Spirit and Superman.After graduating from NYU in the 1940s, Woolfolk began his comics career by working for Will Eisner and Jerry Iger, whose company produced The Spirit and Blackhawk comics. There he collaborated with artists Jack Cole, Lou Fine and Reed Crandall. When Cole created Plastic Man for Police Comics soon after, Woolfolk was a major writing contributor. As a freelancer, Woolfolk was one of the highest paid comics writers of the era, garnering a $300 a week salary, when several of his contemporaries averaged only $30 a week. He received the 2002 Comic-Con International Inkpot Award for his outstanding contribution to the field of comics. Other recipients include Mel Blanc, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Ray Bradbury and Bob Kane.Woolfolk also wrote 18 novels, two nonfiction books and numerous magazine articles.The author of several books including the 1968 bestseller, The Beautiful Couple, Woolfolk has been quoted as saying, `Comics have outlasted my writing efforts in other media. `Beautiful Couple` is an excellent story of 2 Hollywood superstars - like a rougher `Valley of the Dolls`.A very nice copy of this Hollywood roman-a-clef, the amorous adventures of the world`s most famous movie star couple circa 1968.
