pasitheaWhen I arrived at home last night there was a big box sitting in the floor to greet me. It was heavy and I knew what was in it. I'd invited ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
paka over anyhow so this was an extra treat.
I spent about an hour just sorting them into chronological order and gaping at the covers. OMFG these are cool!!!! I'm in geek heaven!
You know what else? I'm GLAD I didn't see these when I was younger. I'm glad my parents forbade them because it built me up to this moment. This overwhelming torrent of incredible, sexy, pervy, and funny just totally amazing artwork.
The earliest edition I have is #2. I'll start filling in the missing volumes now that I have a good base to start from.
#2 contains work by Moebius, Drulliet, Caza, Bodot, and a lot of others. I think I stare at Drulliet and Caza with the most amazement. They're just.. Wow.
Drulliet got the centerfold in this edition. It was black and white but every bit as stunning as his colour work. It gave me an odd tingle. WTF is up with that!? I've looked at a few porn magazines and found them largely to be an immense turn-off. The centerfolds have never really done anything for me. But a twisted castle spire ascending into a night sky filled with demons and screaming faces and I'm all hot and heavy? There's definitely something right with me. ;)

His splash pages are like the comic book art equivalent of amphetimines.
