Animerotics A Forbidden Cabaret in 26 Acts
CONTAINS ADULT MATERIAL. David Delamare, Wendy Ice. Collectors Press, 2001. In 1894 wealthy eccentric Alphonse Zukor shocked European society by mounting an illegal underground cabaret- an alphabetic series of erotic acts featuring beautiful nude women and exotic animals. The bizarre performances changed the world by attracting and influencing such luminaries as Thomas Edison, Sigmund Freud and Igor Stravinsky. In this lavish volume artist Delamare deftly recreates each of the cabaret's darkly alluring show cards. A living mermaid, a fire breathing tiger tamer, the knife throwing Donatello twins and a Houdini inspired escape from an octopus tank. Twenty-six seductive acts are captured in these sensual sepia toned paintings. With gatefold. 64 pages. Soft Cover 10" x 13" (25cm x 33cm) ISBN: 1888054514

The Pin-Up Art Of Bill Wenzel
CONTAINS ADULT MATERIAL. Edited by Alex Chum, designed by Jacob Covey. Fantagraphics Books, 2005. This fascinating Pin-Up series from Alex Chum/ Fantagraphics Books continues, with the largely unsung Bill Wenzel (1918-87). His art featured in the Comic book but again it is his irreverent, saucy renditions of the well-endowed but put-upon American female that shows him in his true light. His cartoons are less rounded, more knowing & give a darker insight into these, otherwise formulaic one-panel gags.

There is a fascinating but brief introduction to the magazines that Wenzel illustrated for, followed by more than 150 gags, the majority of which have not been seen, since their original publication. Another fascinating glimpse, into a bygone age of popular fiction. Recommended for fans of the best in popular American illustration. 198 pages. Hard Cover Part Colour 6" x 8" (15cm x 20cm) Dust Jacket ISBN: 1560976586 and ISBN-13: 9781560976585
