The Rap Sheet’s younger sister blog, Killer Covers, celebrates its 14th birthday today, placing it firmly in adolescence. To celebrate, I’ve created a gallery of 50-odd paperback fronts with a juvenile-delinquent theme—very popular among authors and publishers of the mid-20th century, who seemed to think the worst about teenagers.

There's some great headliners on those covers, "Exposing the scandal-ridden world of today's juvenile jukebox cult." Almost every hoodlum seemed to have that same James Dean swagger or look! Congratulations J.K. on reaching 14 yrs (or adolescence :).
