LEONARDO 2 Highly Recommended. By Stéphane Levallois. Planet Earth, engaged in an intergalactic conflict, owes its salvation to the clone of Leonardo da Vinci and to the rebirth of his genius.

The grand scale result is impressive...Leonardo's visions successfully projected into a stunning futuristic sci-fi graphic novel. From France. NBM, 2020....More.

Mature ReadersSwing Volume 3 is here, an interesting new series that was spun off from Sunstone. It's a very adult series, about a swinging couple, published by Image Comics. The other two books are in stock. Nicely drawn by Yishan Li and Linda Sejic. Coming in December, we have two major collections from Serpieri. His work is outstanding; Druuna is among the most popular erotic graphic novel series ever. There is Serpieri West, which chronicles his western art (and some of it is erotic, of course), along with an interview about his inspirations. And there is Serpieri Eros...that needs little explanation. $44.99 each. Note that we have a very difficult time getting restocks of his books, as they come from Diamond and from Italy, so reserve your copies early. See our website for Druuna and other Serpieri books. Just this week we finally received more of Morbus Gravis Limited Edition [MORBGH. $90]. It sold out immediately in 2019. We have only 3 copies but we're hoping another reorder is on the way. Did you miss out on Harem? It's a bargain-priced art book celebrating the erotic Orientalist art of the 19th century. It was sold out for quite some time, due to unexpectedly strong sales and slow delivery from the publisher. It is back in stock. [HAREM. $15.95]. |
