TIM PILCHER podcast excerpt: "It's a natural progression of growing up for comics readers. Erotica is a fact of life. But anytime you put 'comics' and 'sex' together, people go, 'Oh!' Erotic comic is a genre, just as westerns, sci-fi or superheroes are. It hadn't really been written up; it's sort of a secret history." Fully illustrated with rare art by Howard Cruse, Gengoroh Tagame, Melinda Gebbie, Hunt Emerson, Howard Chaykin, Giovanna Casotto (whose work graces the cover), Tom of Finland, Milo Manara, Junko Mizuno, this book covers everything: the erotic comics explosion in America in the mid-’80s; the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender comics scene; UK and European erotic comic creators since the ’70s; and the Japanese hentai phenomenon.
