More About the Author

Bill Willingham never fought a desperate and losing battle in a good cause, never contributed to society in a meaningful way, and hasn't lived a life of adventure, but he's had a few moments of near adventure. At some point in his life Bill learned how to get paid for telling scurrilous lies to good people, and he's been doing it ever since. He lives in the wild and frosty woods of Minnesota.

This all ends up in a sordid revenge plot, with a dodgy bishop as agent of a sorceror, to recover a magic dagger. Dragavon is there in the middle, as well as a summoned demon, a golem, and others.

This really is fun - a B&W romp complete with dragons (and there's a surprise for you), centaurs and especially centauresses, and some lovely lady a bit like a mermaid, but with serptine lower body rather than fish-like. And, since this is a very adult comic, the romping turns vividly carnal every few pages. A few scenes get kinky, including a remarkable scene with snake-lady, but the close moments are always consensual and in a spirit of fun.

The people - a term I use in a very inclusive sense - are generally well drawn. A sketchbook in the back shows some of the evolution from first impressions towards finished comic art, something I found very interesting. As so often happens with "sketchbook" material, it came across as filler. The story came to a rather abrupt end when most of the supporting (i.e. female) characters had been killed off. An epilog follows, Our Hero in a tavern some years later, recounting the tale to breathless (and shirtless, and pantsless) babes. One of them asks, "How can that be the end? You haven't resolved anything."

I agree. It's pretty good anyway, but storytelling has been done better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great art, Better story!, September 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Ironwood Book 2 (Eros Graphic Album Series No. 6) (Paperback)

This is one of the most creative series of graphic novels that I've ever seen. It was originally a series of comic books that has been collected in two volumes and I encourge everyone to get both! Willingham is a superb arist who draws mythical creatures and personages with such detail that the viewer believes they actually exist. The hero-fantasy/comedy plot is great fun and answers all the great questions that fantasy fans have always had (namely, "How does a centaur get it on?" and "Does a woman who's half snake really feel anything below the waist?") All in all, great fun. I only hope that Willingham will do more in the series!

The review/description already posted has nothing to do with this book. It appears to be related to a different piece of erotic fiction.
