5.0 out of 5 stars Exquisite, November 1, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Casa Howhard: Vol. 1 (Paperback)

This adult graphic novel by Baldazzini (Moebius only writes an introduction) is one of the best I've seen yet. It is about the inhabitants of a condo who all happen to be sexually promiscuous shemales (the story itself sometimes implies that they were born this way, a physical impossibility, but it is a comic book). The characters are all so gorgeous and feminine that even someone like myself who finds the reality unappealling will enjoy it.

Before reading this graphic novel, I was only familiar with Baldazzini's pinups which tend to be deceptively simple in style but extremely elegant and accomplished. Many influences, mostly turn of the century (art nouveau, noir, etc.) can be seen, although it does sometimes also have a futuristic quality. Some pinups in the style I'm used to fill out the last pages of this collection. However, his artwork for the main story is a bit more cartoonish, but still has a great deal of elegance about it and is very beautiful. The storyline is very simplistic (just a lot of sex scenes with little plot), but as Moebius notes in his introduction, all of Baldazzini's characters are filled with a wonderful sense of guiltless innocence. As a result instead of the usual sense underlying most graphic novels that everything taking place is somehow dirty or illicit, Baldazzini's work has a sense of joyfulness and good clean fun to it (despite its extremely graphic nature) that makes it a pleasure to experience. This gets my highest recommendation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Shemale Fun, August 21, 2004

By 

Tyler Durden (Maryland, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Casa Howhard: Vol. 1 (Paperback)

If you're into shemales, then this one is for you. This book is a series of short erotic adventures all taking place at an apartment building populated exclusively by shemales (even the janitor is one). At the end all of the characters come together (not literally) for a game of bingo played in a way I've never seen before. Once that's done, the reader is treated to a gallery of assorted shemales.

All the women(?) are attractive, and hardly a page goes by without some kind of sexual activity going on. My only complaint is that only a couple of them are well-hung.

This review is from: Casa Howhard: Vol. 1 (Paperback)

This book covers the erotic goings-on at an apartment building where all the tenants are shemales and clothing appears to be optional. Rather than one long narrative focusing on one character, it plays more like an ensemble piece. It is very good, my one gripe is that with the excpetion of one of them, all the shemales have small members.
