If you're a practicing Wiccan, you'd be best advised to stay away from the Coven Gallery Girls series. The second of three books in the series, Coven 2 does everything it can to reinforce the traditional image of the witch pointy fat, black cat familiars, and riding broomsticks...and naked to boot! The Coven volume 2 provides another 64 pages of pinup quality drawings of sexy, naughty witches drawn by some of the hottest pinup artists in the field today.

Let's start with a fantastic cover by Tomas Giorello with a scantily clad witch in pilgrim's hat sitting on top of a jack-o-lantern. I dare say that if witches looked like her, then the puritans would have never have hung them back in 1692 Salem! Of course, I will pickup anything that features the ENORMOUS talents of Arantza and Pelaez, two of my favorite artists who are regular contributors to all of the various Gallery Girls collections from Sal Quartuccio Productions (SQP).

Arantza and Pelaez contribute several illustrations each to this volume. Aranzta's notable drawings include a dark haired beauty casting a terrible curse on an unfortunate soul with a voodoo doll and another a nude witch, long nails dripping with blood, and a serpent coiled between her legs. Pelaez's contributions include a topless witch, in traditional pointy hat, relaxing in her favorite chair with two black cats under her feet, and my favorite in the book, two nude witches in a cemetery standing by an ancient tombstone, calling forth the corpse of the person buried there...both erotic and terrifying all at once!

Enric goes a different route with two old hags holding a blonde captive in chains as they paint symbols on her naked body for an unholy ritual. James Ryman, another of my favorite Gallery Girls contributors, has a pair of witches frolicking gleefully before a giant cauldron as a massive demon is conjured up. Meriggi has the most humorous entry as a group of armed soldiers dragging away a witch will soon be regretting their decision as they begin to cough up serpents from their mouths.

Other artists featured include: Boada, Pascarelli, Parillo, Maraschi, Pedro Cuevas, DelRivero, and more.
