Fleshy Things

So, only one week's delay, seems I'm getting back into the swing of things. You might think that since Thursday also begins with the letter "T", that I am changing my update day, but alas no - I'm just two days late. I admit it. The intent is still to update on Tuesdays - and other days when possible but Tuesdays at a minimum.

That aside, I have no big announcements but I have encountered a couple of nifty smut related things which I thought I could share.

First is an artist who has been around for several years now: Silverad0. That's "0" with a line through it. That link is to his DevianrArt page, I actually first encountered his stuff over on Hentai Foundry. I don't think there's a difference in the art that's there but I haven't checked thoroughly.

I love Silverad0's work - he draws women that are so fleshy. You can almost feel them. A lot of his stuff is light vore, which isn't my particular taste, but it's easy to pretend the women are just being hauled off for a brain makeover so that's all right. And he also did, several years ago now, a picture that just beautifully lines up with Alphax's classic story "Old Wives' Tales".



As an aside, Alphax has only ever shared two erotic mind control stories, but by God they are corkers. I love "Old Wives' Tales" obviously but then there's also the ultra-classic "Presents". If you're one of my younger readers and weren't yet into this stuff at the turn of the millenium, do yourself a solid and go read "Presents". Wow. Even now it's delicious and twenty years ago (!) it was delicious and ground-breaking.

But also check out Silverad0. To go even farther back (yes, I am old) it reminds me a lot of Richard Corben back in the 70s and 80s when he was doing naked people a lot. (The "Den" era). You almost ache to reach into the picture and knead the breasts portrayed there. At least, I do.

Also: Bee Girls!


As for Corben, if you haven't heard of him and you Google around a bit you will get the impression that he does creepy horror comics. And he does! But there was also a period where he did fantasy adventure comics except everyone was buck naked - big ol' titties everywhere, and cocks, and even some actual sex. A much younger Tabico collected these old nearly-porn comics whenever she could find them and now has a very nice collection, but I'll tell you they are pretty hard to come by these days and the Internet is sadly lacking in good scans of them. There's a lot more than you would think if you only go by what you can find online.

I see that volume one of "Den" is on Amazon used for $160, which seems about right. And what's worse, some of the "Den" comics you can find were mildly bowdlerized, you have to look for the original oversized editions ("Neverwhere") to get the real cocks-n-boobs glory of "Den" in its heyday.

My second find is at the other end of the time spectrum: a brand new smutty comic called "Lithium" by Sindy Anna Jones. It's more or less straight porn with a bit of sci-fi (at least, as far as the setting is concerned) and more than a hint of incest (cousins, so choose if that squicks you) but it's pretty and it's cute and it's fun and the second issue followed the first in record time, so I have high hopes for her smut output (at least in the near term).



So there, a couple of nice things for you to check out if you have not seen them already. Heck, maybe more if you haven't read Alphax or heard of Richard Corben. Enjoy!

  1. Now I've got Elmer Bernstein's "Den's Theme" from Heavy Metal running through my head...

    1. Best section from Heavy Metal?

      It's got to be the B-17 for me.

      What's your favourite Tabico? The Den section?

    2. You know, I haven't seen the movie in long enough that I hardly remember the scenes. I'll have to watch it again.

  2. Glad to see you're back posting on a regularly irregular schedule again! Hope to see more of you around! :)

    If I recall correctly, 'Presents' was one of the first stories I ever read on the EMCSA. For ages afterward I kept looking for more like it, but alas not many authors share the same sense of style.


    It certainly was an inspiration for some of my later works. Here's to hoping more authors out there write more like it! :)

  3. Aw shucks, nothing beats my stories making Tabico's "corkers" list! It's better than the Sexy Oscars or something.

    I preferred Druuna and RanXerox myself.
