Gilbert Hernandez and his brother Jaime have been publishing the comic Love & Rockets for years, Gilbert's work occasionally dabbles in erotica but with this effort he gets to wallow in it. This graphic novel centers around a lisping psychiatrist and her covetous sister (characters from Love & Rockets) as well as a nymph-like stripper. The sex is completely over the top, in the end involving omnisexual pairings and aliens. Gilbert's sense of humor sets this book apart from many of the other titles in the Eros graphic novel series

sexy, pornographic and out of control. this is a must have for anyone that is a fan of the Hernandez brothers.

i am amazed at how many times i've talked with hernandez brothers fans who've never heard of this book. despite just how 'hardcore' it is (and it is Very hardcore in terms of blurring the line between "erotica" and "porn") somehow it never feels crude but rather a Celebration of all things lusty and sexual. of course the above is only true because of the Craft that gilbert hernandez puts into his characters, stories, and imagery. as further testament of the power of this book, i've had it "borrowed" and never returned at least three times over (as with cd's this is The highest compliment to the artist). buy this book!
