This is when I knew I was different from other boys. The plot is similar to any of the other Hardy Boys mysteries, but the cover of this one was quite the eye opener while I was growing up. There's another pic in
Sky Sabatoge (also by Franklin W. Dixon) that involves a nearly shirtless scetch of Joe Hardy tied to a tree while two burly men torture him. I must admit, I am rather surprised no groups have ever condemned The Hardy Boys for featuring gay pornography.
Anyway, I have to get ready for work here soon. I hope everyone has a good day and I'll post more tonight when I'm awake.

As for slash, Mabel Maney wrote several rather funny parodies involving "Nancy Clue and the Hardley Boys", with special guest, "Nurse Cherry Aimless". Not quite explicit, but still extremely funny.
