This international survey of erotic comics chronicles a groundbreaking form of sexual expression. From the ancient Greeks to the 1930s with Tijuana Bibles, the pornographic comic books that parodied popular comic strips, to WWII, which gave a boost to erotic comics and sexy pin-ups. This set the stage for men's magazines such as Playboy, which included racy cartoons from the beginning, and the underground comix revolution of the 60s and 70s, to the s&m fetish scene of today. With hundreds of illustrations, informative text, and insights from key artists, writers, and publishers, this is sexy, artistic, entertaining, intriguing and informative! Foreword by Aline Kominsky-Crumb.
