These "politically incorrect" comics emerged in the late 30s and were wildly popular through the 1950s. Hundreds of titles circulated underground during this time. The authors were largely anonymous, utilizing nick names instead. To this day no one knows who really authored or published these works, but the term "Tijuana Bible" surfaced as it was recognized that many of them were printed in the town of it's name sake. The majority of these "Bibles" were simply eight pages long and tackled subjects from anal sex to bestiality. They were also well known for satirizing public figures, including Gary Cooper and Hitler. "32 Pagers" are even more rare to find today and are basically a more short story version of the original "8 Pagers."
