SENSUOUS FRAZETTA Deluxe 16 Bonus Pages, Variant Cover. Our Highest Recommendation. By J. David Spurlock. Art by Frank Frazetta.Vanguard, 2016. Mature Readers...More. Item Code: SENFD Hard Cover, 8x11, 176pg, Partial Color $69.95 |
| This will probably be #1 on our annual Bestsellers next January. Advance orders have been the strongest we've seen on any item this year, particularly on the deluxe edition. Note: We've mistakenly said the hardcover edition contains the bonus 16 pages at one point--but was in error. You only get the extra 16 pages of material in the Deluxe edition. The hardcover DOES offer you a variant cover, special endpapers, as is the case on this and Jungle Adventures below, and a permanent, high quality binding. Deluxe editions have no stated printing limitation. Vanguard occasionally goes back to press on them, but they usually are printed in relatively small quantities, i.e. 400 to 600, rarely more. |

Geppeta carves Pinocchio (Alex Roman) for herself as a gorgeous young hunk... And second up is Curious Obsessions from 2006. A sexy supernatural film from cult erotica director John Bacchus (Play-mate of the Apes, Gladiator Eroticvs) showcases the seductive beauty and sensuality of Bethany Lott (SpiderBabe) and Jackie Stevens (Lust in Space). When an old 16mm film projector shows up at their doorstep, roommates Beth and Jackie aren't quite sure what to make of it. Soon Beth and Jackie become sexually possessed by the flickering images, which have an aphrodisiac effect upon the luscious and suddenly very curious pair.
