Eros' "Graphic Novel" reprints of John Blackburn's COLEY books are a big help to readers who no longer have to worry about trying to follow the complex life of his voodoo-endowed bisexual boy-hero in case they've missed a story here and there (as I did when they first came out). "Book Two: Caged Heat" collects a pair of connected miniseries, "WEB OF EVIL" and "THE DEATHSNAKE" (5 issues in all). The first deals with prejudice in a small town, while the second tackles prison corruption. There's less supernatural elements here than usual (if you don't count voodoo love-drugs and an apparent return from the grave!) but the intrigues and complex character interactions more than make up for it, and present a scenario that might remind one of an x-rated version of DARK SHADOWS.

Blackburn's rather art-deco art style is unlike anything in modern comics, and in fact the only comic-book artist his work reminds me of is Harry G. Peters, the original illustrator of WONDER WOMAN-- whose earliest adventures have been considered "kinky", but never THIS much! Blackburn's style has evolved from story to story, and it's almost surprising how much he seems to have matured as an illustrator when you compare his earliest stories to the later ones.

Both stories here contain some of the most shocking violence in the series (and that's really saying something), but WEB OF EVIL also features one of THE hottest sex scenes as well, in its 2nd issue when Coley & his friends decide to put on a public "exhibition". A surprise for me was one of the hottest pages in the book was actually missing from the original printing! Hallelujah for "remastered" editions! Not for the faint of heart-- and NOT to be forgotten by anyone who reads it!

As always John blackburn has given us more erotic episodes in the life of Coley. The story line may not be Hemingway, but combined with John's art it is great. John was my uncle and I keep his book handy to read when I need a little erotica or just want to see some of his work.

I found this adult graphic novel on the sexual rampage of the main charecter Coley to be purley sexual. The story plot is vague and blotchy but the graphic content is fantastic. Definatly for adults only. If your looking for content and storyline this isnt what you want but if you want nothing but the sexual artwork than its a must.

Very high score for the raunchiness, but low score for the drawing which is rather childish and the 'hero' quite ugly though he's supposed to be an irresistible sex god. He looked more like a she, ugh. Sorry if the artist is offended but I like my dude to be more Ben than Jenn.
