Sex And Your Comic Book: Part Three Sex Really Does Sell

 Pow­ered by Max Ban­ner Ads 

Hey there!

Uncle fan­boy here, and wel­come to part three ( and the final part ) of my series titled ” Sex And Your Comic Book “, and if you hap­pened to miss the first two parts, well here they are for you listed below…

• Sex And Your Comic Book:Part1 The Female Figure
• Sex And Your Comic Book: Part 2 Would You Take Your Child Into Today’s Comics Shop?

I’m going right for the jugu­lar with part three,  as I want to really get down to just how much we actu­ally see of the female fig­ure adorned on the cov­ers of lots of comics that are on the comic racks of today’s comic book store.

Here are just a few of the titles that I see weekly..

Let’s start off with a com­pany called Zenescope Enter­tain­ment and their title…

Grimm Fairy Tales

fol­low­ing are a few of the cov­ers from the series so far…

Okay, so the first three cov­ers show the following…a sex­ily clad Red Rid­ding Hood, pos­si­bly Goldilocks, lay­ing almost naked on a bearskin rug, and what really caught my eye was the ” Hal­loween Spe­cial ” cover with a scene that I seem to remem­ber from the tele­vi­sion series ” Bewitched “, maybe some of you older read­ers might rec­og­nize some­what, and while I have never read one of these comics, I have to ask myself, just what these scenes have to do with any tale that the Broth­ers Grimm may have ever penned?

Frank Cho

I want to point out imme­di­ately, that I enjoy see Frank Cho’s work, and here are a few choice exam­ples below of those works…

Here are three dif­fer­ent cov­ers to some of Frank’s work..a Lib­erty Mead­ows cover, the ” Back End ” of Ms. Mar­vels busi­ness, and a cover to issue #1 of the lim­ited series Shanna The She Devil, of which I enjoyed immensely.

Cho’s female physique work…excellent, and of course sexy…but does it com­pel you to buy one of his comic works?

Tarot: Witch Of The Black Rose

I just want to pref­ace what this title is about…

Tarot is a beau­ti­ful and pow­er­ful young witch of the Order of the Black Rose who fights against the forces of dark­ness that are attempt­ing to bring harm to the world.

Jim Balent is prob­a­bly one of ( if not ) the most rec­og­nized artist today draw­ing the female figure…I remem­ber look­ing at his work on DC’s Cat­woman and not being able to take my eyes off of those pen­cils, but now a days, Balent’s art is some­thing that has become for ” Adults Only ” viewable…just check out a few of these covers…

I did indeed buy two issues of this title just to see if what I thought I might find inside was…inside, and it was!

The images that were inside these two issues are just not pic­tures I want to include here on this blog, even con­sid­er­ing the topic of this series of posts, so for you older read­ers, just use your imagination.

Now to just kind of drive my point home, I was at the comic shop today, and I was look­ing for just what I felt was the most provoca­tive ” Cover ” that I could find…and there were lots!

So, just what cover caught my dis­cern­ing eye…

Base­ment Studios

Cave­woman Red Men­ace Spe­cial Edi­tion, and here is the cover..

And just what was it about this cover that made this my pick, well just take a look at the back­side on this girl, and the view of the front isn’t too bad either!Okay, so there wasn’t alot of ” Talk ” in this third part to this series, and there was rea­son for this…there wasn’t a need for much talk on my part, as I felt that the pic­tures said a ” Bil­lion Words “,l and frankly, I think that the pic­tures say what was on my mind when start­ing this series in the first place..can these images pos­si­bly influ­ence whether you might buy a comic or not…you bet your cash it can…because even in comics, Sex Does Sell!
