Girl: Body Heat is a compilation of erotic comic shorts drawn from Kevin Taylor's individual comic publications under the same name. Body Heat contains stories about Girl, a lusty lass that is more than happy to satify the boys, two or three at a time, at her high school. We also meet Blue, a boy with a third leg and a bevy of beauties following him around. And Jill, a pretty girl working her way through college, puts in a cameo appearance.

The distinct Taylor illustration style remains constant through out the book . Some people will not like the thick lines and the physically impossible anatomies - if you are looking for realistic illustrations then von Gotha or Duvet are better bets. However, the crude, exaggerated illustrations match the super hard core story line.

If you enjoy stories about beautiful girls that can't get enough satification and have inhuman sexual stamina, then Taylor delivers. If you are looking for cutting edge art or sophisticated plot then you are better off with a different book.

This is a great book. I still LOVE the first Girl book the best as far as it ALL goes, story, art, sex, etc. etc. Jill, Part time lover was okay, but the long written "narration" seemed like a cop out more than a real comic, as the ones in this book and in the first girl were equally image driven as text driven. I also prefer the black and white art over the color job in Jill, though it grew on me some. Overall, though, the first girl was better than this as the two black and white styles in the books are not identical... one was thick lines and psudeo-cross hatched shading. In this one there are actual grey washes, etc. I don't prefer it.

The sex is hot, though not like the first Girl, which was truely over orgasmic and sexy even when it was perverted to the point of disgusting. Here it looks a little less "thrilling". There is also a strange amount of ACTUAL bestiality going on here, that I must admit is more erotic than I'd ever thought it'd be, but never comes close to actually being pleasantly arrousing or anything... just a strange sense of erotic perversion. The thing this book really has going on is some of the new characters in the Girl World we get to meet and visually have our way with.... worth a look but can't compare to the original

Girl: Body Heat is a graphic novel which collects Kevin Taylor's 3-issue mini-series of the same name. This 3-issue mini-series was first released in comic book form during the mid-1990's. Prior to Body Heat, Kevin Taylor's work was only known in North America through his first "Girl" series. This series introduced Taylor as an up-and-coming talent in the adult comics industry. Taylor's style was a slightly exaggerated realism to the look of his women and men which made for some extremely graphic sexual sequences which made his first series a very sought after series of comic books.

Body Heat was released a few years after Taylor's first series and the response to it was pretty much what one would expect for a mini-series from an artist who has cultivated an almost cult-like following. If you don't believe me just go to any comic book convention where he makes an appearance and the lines are as long as for the more mainstream comic book titles. This follow-up to his Girl series has Taylor making a sort-of anthology series of short stories with all of them having one thing in common: lots of hot and steamy sex. Girl makes an appearance in a couple of the issues. We see her as freshman in high school already attracting the boys and men. Then we see her in a sort-of fantasy like situation involving a favorite centaur. Newer characters make first appearances who would turn out to become favorites as well: Blue and his ridiculously large endowment and Marty, his good-suffering boss who tries to keep things professional between the two of them.

Body Heat also has stand-alone stories which doesn'tties in to Taylor's character Girl. A spoof of Lois Lane working to get her exclusives with heroes who have an uncanny resemblance to Superman and Batman. Then there's the diary entry of a small-town girl to her high school sweetheart as she tries to make it out on her own in the big city. To say that what she writes in her letters to her sweetheart differs from what actually occurred is a huge understatement. The series also has Jill (who stars in her own title later on in Jill: Part-Time Lover) making her first appearance in the Girl Universe. All the stories do just enough to keep a semblance of a story, but really they're just there to move the scene along to what fans of Taylor want and that's the sex and alot of it. In this respect, Kevin Taylor doesn't disappoint.

Girl: Body Heat collection would be a must-buy for all Kevin Taylor fans and would be a nice addition to those who follow and read the adult comics coming out more and more in the last decade or so. Whether Kevin Taylor does full-lenght stories or short ones they are well done and doesn't disappoint. It's a shame that most of his shorter work hasn't been released outside of Spain where they're usually a staple of the Spanish adult comic series KISS. Here's to hoping he decides to share these shorter works and collects them a la Body Heat.

Kevin J. Taylor's body heat only proves one thing. He is the best at what he does. His storys and vivid imagination captures anyone who glances at it. I haven't seen too many artist who paint his imagination so fluid. Anything that he creates is worth the money. Take it from a faithful fan buy the best!

Another favorite by Taylor, bring together the best collection of stories Taylor has done. All of his best in one volume

I am a big fan of erotic artwork, and I love it when the artist allows his or her imagination to go wild. Erotic comics don't have to be fully realistic, so artists can, e.g., bend the rules of gravity. But come on! Like most other guys, I like largely proportioned women, but why does Taylor feel the need to draw his women so that they look like they have had very poorly done breast implant surgery? Actually the cover depicted above is the most realistic art I've ever seen by him, but look at the woman on the bottom right-hand side of the cover. That's how his characters almost always look: completely stiff and made of hard plastic...
