Blacklace Drag aka Killer in Drag

I almost posted these covers of Edward D. Wood, Jr.'s crossdresser noir novel on one of my gay sites but remembered that Wood wasn't gay:

Ed Wood: Listen, I was wondering if you'd like to go out sometime, grab some dinner, maybe?
Vampira: You mean a date? I thought you were a fag.
Ed Wood: No, no, I'm just a transvestite.
