4.0 out of 5 stars Fantasies of domination, December 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Dream of Cecilia (Paperback)

In this explicit erotic comic, Cecilia is a beautiful blonde who finds herself perpetually shocked, shocked at the handling given to her by the residents of two fantasy worlds--the aristocrats and savages of a medieval kingdom, and a perverse husband who enlists her in modern-day sex games.

While this is definitely an S&M fantasy, it probably would appeal to many people who usually like more their erotica more vanilla--Cecilia is never really hurt, and the dream-within-a-dream structure emphasizes that all of her adventures are just fantasies. One is definitely meant to identify with the heroine more than with her abusers.

If you like this sort of thing, or sometimes wonder if you might, this is definitely worth checking out: The art is well-done and fairly realistic, and the settings and situations show consistent imagination.

4.0 out of 5 stars High quality adult art, November 29, 2000

This review is from: Dream of Cecilia (Paperback)

If you are into erotic graphic novels, von Gotha is bound to be one of your favorites. His illustrations are beautifully realistic and the action is fast and furious. Dreams of Cecilia is a series of vignettes about a beautiful young woman who daydreams herself from erotic fantasy to erotic fantasy where she is captured and forced to service multiple men. In so doing, Cecilia is forced to recognize and accept her innermost sexual desires.

Although the book has a very strong Domination & Submission storyline, there are relatively few depictions of S&M leather gear or complex bondage equipment. If you want more bondage, try Michael Manning. Dreams of Cecilia focuses more on portraying beautiful people in a series of hardcore sexual scenes. The illustration is better quality than Kevin Taylor but the girls are more passive. Overall, this is likely to interest your girlfriend a little more than many of the other "dirty" comics.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting little book., March 28, 2005

This review is from: Dream of Cecilia (Paperback)

Full-Colored adult graphic novel.

Strange novel with no words, just pictures until the very end. There are two stories. The first story involves a woman back in colonial times who is found on the side of the road nearly nude, attacked by passers by (or she is their slave), freed/captured by indians, the woman escapes the indians and is recaptured by the white fellows . . . During this time the woman dreams of another existence, this one set in the modern world. The second story involves a woman in the "modern" time period who unexpectedly finds herself a sex slave. Both women dream of each other, it would seem. Though not everything is as it seems. ..

The drawing is quite good, nothing appears to be censored. Much bondage, whipping, punishment, sexual activity, and dominance.

The plot is driven along by the pictures and is interesting enough in its method. Overall, an odd, yet good "novel."
