Graphic Novels and Adult Comics:

Borgia: Blood for the Pope by Manara & Jodorowsky
Heavy Metal Magazine (November 2005); ISBN-10: 1932413421

The Borgias have always been fascinating. Famous for giving us some of Rome's most distinguished dignitaries in the 16th century, but also for their Machiavellian cunning and their skills with poisons, the Borgias are a symbol of Renaissance decadence.

Jodorowsky and Manara have made the story of that diabolical dynasty their own, to bring us a forceful saga that combines power, betrayal, death and sacrilege.

Rome is no longer a holy city, but chaos without law or faith. The Borgia Mafia, the first Godfathers of history, have taken over. This graphic novel is set in 15th century Italy, and is loaded with violence, sex, decadence, corruption, and intrigue. A fair amount of nudity and sex, but more plot than a standard adult graphic novel.

Erotic Comics: A Graphic History from Tijuana Bibles to Zap Comix
Abrams (May 1, 2008); ISBN-10: 0810995158

This international survey of erotic comics chronicles a groundbreaking form of sexual expression up to 1970, the years when mainstream culture spurned explicit eroticism. In the 1930s, American “Tijuana Bibles,” little pornographic comic books that parodied popular comics and comic strips, were widely available. World War II gave a boost to erotic comics, especially illustrated pin-ups. This set the stage for men’s magazines such as Playboy, which included racy cartoons from the beginning, and fetish comics.

The flowering of the counterculture in the next decade gave rise to underground comics, whose acknowledged master was Robert Crumb. A parallel development occurred in Europe, where erotic comics like Barbarella were suddenly the rage.
Erotic Comics tells this story with hundreds of illustrations, informative text, and insights from key artists, writers, and publishers. It’s sexy, artistic, entertaining, intriguing, and informative.

Metronome by Véronique Tanaka
ComicsLit (May 2008); ISBN-10: 156163526X

Just when you thought that nobody could create something new in the comic medium, here comes Metronome - a 64-page graphic novel by Véronique Tanaka: a "silent", erotically-charged visual poem, an experimental non-linear story using a palette of iconic ligne clair images. Symbolism, visual puns and trompe l'oeil conspire in a visual mantra that could be described as "existential manga" if it wasn't for the fact that there is a very human and elegantly-structured tale providing a solid foundation to the cutting-edge storytelling.

Lost Girls Collected by Alan Moore, Melinda Gebbie
Top Shelf Productions (August 30, 2006); ISBN: 1891830740

For more than a century, Alice, Wendy and Dorothy have been our guides through the Wonderland, Neverland and Land of Oz of our childhoods. Now like us, these three lost girls have grown up and are ready to guide us again, this time through the realms of our sexual awakening and fulfillment. Through their familiar fairytales they share with us their most intimate revelations of desire in its many forms, revelations that shine out radiantly through the dark clouds of war gathering around a luxury Austrian hotel. 

Drawing on the rich heritage of erotica, Lost Girls is the rediscovery of the power of ecstatic writing and art in a sublime union that only the medium of comics can achieve. Exquisite, thoughtful, and human, Lost Girls is a work of breathtaking scope that challenges the very notion of art fettered by convention. This is erotic fiction at its finest.

The three protagonists are fictitiously based on the familiar faces from Wonderland, Oz, and Neverland, who meet as grown women in a mysterious hotel in 1913 England. There, they embark on a journey through an erotic fantasy world of their own conjuring, all rendered in Gebbie's beautifully painted, full-color art

The Tijuana Bibles Volume 8 by Michael Dowers
Eros Comix (August 15, 2007); ISBN-10: 1560979003

The latest edition of this very popular series of reprints of classic 1930s "Tijuana Bible" comics, is, as always lovingly assembled by editor Michael Dowers and with a snappy new cover by Pat Moriarity. 

This volume focuses in particular on the pre-WWII Bibles, in which it was commonplace to find some of the most celebrated comic book characters and movie actors of the day engaged in wild sex acts with their clothes off, doing the "great nasty" with no shame whatsoever. (In this volume, Popeye and Wimpy, Moon Mullins, and Harold Teen are part of the hijinks.) 

Before TV and the Internet, and before the commercial pornography industry we have today, these little 8-page booklets were the beginnings of the immense smut business we enjoy today. Nostalgia hounds, fans of classic porn, and anyone who ever wanted to see Popeye get down and dirty will enjoy this book.

Morbus Gravis 1: Druuna by Paolo Eleuteri Serpieri
Heavy Metal Magazine; Comic edition (February 1997); ISBN: 0878162224

Morbus Gravis 1 begins with a society afflicted by plague, the Morbus Gravis, which transforms the hapless victims into flesh-eating mutants. Set amidst a decaying spaceship, governed by chaotic totalitarianism, where rape, murder and paranoia are prevalent, Serpeiri gives us his beautiful, statuesque brunette - Druuna. Serpieri's artistry delights in showing and offering the reader Druuna's sexual charms, her most seductively noticeable tribute being her round, luscious ass.

The intelligently written and often complex plot features Druuna being pursued by monsters, raped, buggered, gang-banged and tortured, but her indomitable spirit prevents her from ever being a hapless victim of exploitation.

Morbus Gravis 1 is not as explicit as Druuna x 2 or The sweet smell of Woman, but it is a fine book to begin with for those unfamiliar with Serpieri. The artwork and storylines are unforgettable, shockingly brutal and sexually intense.

One of the most striking moments has a woman fleeing a bull-like monster while citizens watch from the safety of behind closed gates. "Shit, what's it's doing, it's sodomizing her," says one man, smiling. "It's so obscene," agrees an old woman, fascinated. "First he raped her, then he tore her to bits and ate her." concludes a third. Through this nightmare Druuna is pursued and sullied, but never defeated, polluted. A classic. —Gary Russell
