i know that i get a censored comic when i order it in germany, but that i get a censored book when i order in the usa(!) was new to me. there are 3 pages missing from _the convent of hell_ at least i expected a WARNING THIS COMIC WAS CENSORED.

it doesn't make as much smoke as it used to make when you burn a book.

you will notice that i'm slightly disappointed.

For fans of occult themes and depravity, this is the (un)holy Grail. There is no fluff in the storyline at all: it gets right to the point and never lets up. I'm no art critic, but the images seem adequately drawn and colored, as far as I'm concerned.
Some Satanically-inclined nuns in a convent conjure the devil and submit willingly to his ferocious Sexual appetite and each others' sex toys. I won't get into details, but it covers every sort of Sadeian perversion. Fabulous!!

A group of conservative nuns accidentally open an old, covered up door in the convent, accidentally releasing Satan. Satan quickly conquers the convent - abusing, violating and killing a number of well endowed women in the process. Fortunately, one of his victims escapes to tell her tale and the Vatican sends a rescue mission of Knights Templar to drive out the devil.

The comic book is painted rather than drawn and better quality than many other books of this nature. The story line is basically a vehicle to move from depraved scene to depraved scene and is obviously translated from some other language.

The content is even more obscene than Kevin Taylor's Girl. There are scenes of torture, bestiality and heresy through out the book. This book is not for the faint hearted. However..., I have not found another book which delivers more hard core images.

Any comic book collector whos ever wanted something unique must get this.Perhaps one of the best depictions of satan I have ever seen.The story and pictures,though VERY offensive and not for everybody,are among some of the best adult tales ever.Forget Verotica Comics,Noe and Barreiro are the best. E-mail me and tell me what you think.

Great art, very extreme, brought up all the mystery, excitement and religious taboos (all the shadow stuff) that made me feel like I was a teenager again. Loved it! (though I'll probably burn in hell.. just kidding - I don't believe God or whatever you want to call that divine force would get that bent out of shape over a little over the top sex. I've collected all of Noe's works and they are always great.)

This is a fully illustrated comic , it is extremly naughty and very irreverant mocking both Catholics and Nuns . I enjoyed it from the first plate to the last . Dont get this if your mind is not broad or you have a religious vocation . Some of the drawings are very graphic , you have been warned .

The book is about a convenant of nuns which some are very lustful for one another. When one of the nuns is tragically killed they stubble upon a hidden door they do not recognize. As they accidently open the door they release a lustful demon who possesses and also has his way with all the nuns in the convenant. Is anyone safe from this unspeakable evil?

At first I was getting used to this book. I don't really get off with dirty nuns(I try to keep religion and sex separate) but it did get sexy when the demon got a hold of them. Though I was disappointed because it lead into direction I didn't want it to go.

Unlike some writing I've seen here, my review is brief: I'm don't write very good english, but this book surely deserves...I like a good BD, and in this case, noe and barreiro made a pretty good book, with lots of ilustrations and very hard drawings. I hope I can see the next, if there is one, because I wonder if they can make such a good book...order, i tell you...you won't lose, only gain a book that treats his caracters with such a powerfull and intense...i won't tell anymore. Buy it.

Noe and Barreiro, Convent of Hell (Nantier Beall Minoustchine, 1998)

Messrs. Nantier, Beall, and Minoustchine, whoever they may be, are the oddest of ducks, and I love them for it. They picked up a selection of titles from obscure European imprint Eurotica for distribution on this side of the pond a while back, including the best-known, and most infamous, collaboration between Noe and Barreiro, Convent of Hell. NBM quickly found that despite its built-in audience, Convent of Hell lacked something it needed: retail outlets. No one would stock the thing except porn shops. Not a surprise, really, given that Convent of Hell is about the best fit for the definition of "pornography" I've ever seen. This isn't the highbrow prurience of Alan Moore or the hip, sexy erotics to be found in any number of Rachel Kramer Bussel-edited anthologies. No, this is not only sexually explicit (and, to follow the definition to the letter, with no redeeming social value whatever), but in the classical mode of porn--and by "classical" I'm talking "let's go back five hundred years" here--it also takes as many jabs at Mother Church as possible. Now that's porn, folks.

If you're a horror movie fan, you've seen this plot a hundred times before, though probably not with these players; nun stumbles upon hidden doorway in basement of convent, other nuns decide to open it, evil comes out and corrupts everyone, the Church must drive the evil back through the door. (Just when you thought you'd seen everything, wait till you get a load of the Church's secret weapon against evil!) Of course, the bulk of the book centers on what happens between the door opening and the Church cracking down, which means a good deal of sex. Sex with the devil, sex with other nuns, sex with visiting priests, sex with God's own emissaries, and (in one final, if extraneous, jab at religion), sex with a newly-married couple who'd gotten lost in a storm. (While the double-standard depicted in that bit is so old it's been gathering frost for decades, you're so caught up in the porn that you won't notice it until an hour or so after you've finished reading. Unless you're a dyed-in-the-wool media critic like me. I hate to say that my enjoyment of porn is not at all what it was twenty years ago.) In other words, like most porn, Convent of Hell is a tissue-thin plot that exists solely to hold together many lengthy sex scenes. Unlike most porn, however, Convent of Hell is quite liberal in its name-checking of the works of H. P. Lovecraft, which is always fun if it's done in a work of decent quality. Whether Convent of Hell defines "decent quality" I will leave to the individual reader to decide. But hey, it'll take you all of fifteen minutes to read, even if you're doing it with one hand, and it's much more easily found these days, so why not give it a go? Assuming, of course, you're of an age to do so. Never let it be said that I am encouraging the corruption of minors (at least, not when I'm not directly involved). ***

It was ok, i just would have liked more story. Not much else to complain about, im no art expert but the drawings seemed pretty average. In all its worth checking out.
