Publisher's Description: For over four decades, erotic
comics have
flourished around the world. Erotic
Comics 2 examines how this budding
art form exploded from the California comix scene to become an
international publishing phenomenon.
Beginning with an exploration of newly
liberated American artists in the '70s, this overview examines the gay
and lesbian comics scene, current artists and publishers in Europe, and
Japanese erotica. After delving into the sexual mores of Japanese
Hentai: from tentacle sex to Yaoi, the book looks to the future, where
erotic comic creators are sidestepping legal issues by producing work
solely for the Internet.
Filled with rarely seen art from
international forerunners such as Dave Stevens, Jordi Bennet, Frank
Thorne, Tom of Finland, Ralf Kšnig, and Milo Manara, Erotic
Comics 2 is perfect for fans of adult comics, art history,
and erotic
illustration. As Alan Moore urges in his foreword: "Absorb the contents
of this book, and do so shamelessly."

Publisher's Description: Erotic Comics: A Graphic History
–
Volume 2 is crammed full of exquisite art from around the
world and
fascinating interviews with the artists. It looks at the endless
battles with authorities in the US and the UK over what is art and what
is pornography. The book takes a look at what is currently being
published in Europe and Japan, and examines the new wave of erotic web
comics on the Internet, where censorship is virtually non-existent.

from different titles and cover designs, the US and UK versions are
