From the pornographic 'Tijuana Bibles' that parodied popular comics and comic strips through the Roaring Twenties and the Great Depression, to the racy cartoons featured in Playboy in 1953 and the flowering of the counterculture that gave rise to underground comics and Robert Crumb, this first visual overview of erotic comics in nearly twenty years chronicles this always fascinating and often ground-breaking form of sexual expression. Erotic Comics reveals this provocative story with hundreds of illustrations and informative text based on interviews with key artists, writers, and publishers. |
