5.0 out of 5 stars A unique erotic combination, February 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Shadow and Light, Volume 1 (Paperback)

Here's some things you don't often find in erotic graphic novels: Realistically drawn (though very sexy!) bodies; an acknowledgement that kinky sex can be loving and tender--and still very kinky; highly explicit sex combined with sensitive insight into character. The art is beautiful as well--the characters look like people you might know, or might want to know, and that makes the book all the more erotic.

This review is from: Shadow and Light, Volume 1 (Paperback)

These are the best erotic comics I can remember seeing. The artwork is outstanding by any measure: pencil drawings in a natural style, strongly centered on the female characters, and not for anyone shy about genital details. All three stories feature consensual kinds of dominance, with stories alternating between men and women in charge. They include some harsh moments, but no hint of real violence. They're beautifully executed, exciting, realistic in look and plot --

-- and short. The three stories fit into just 48 pages, and that includes the usual front matter. And, since each panel is big enough to convey details of face and body, those pages go by faster than usual. Perhaps this book deserves five stars, but the brevity just left me hungry for more.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nice pencil work, February 23, 2006

This review is from: Shadow and Light, Volume 1 (Paperback)

I waited for the book with anticipation due to the review. But it gave me a mixed feeling while going through the work.

It is interesting to see that the whole art work is done in pencil and each pictures are well presented, I would give a 3.5 for the art alone. The skill of presentation can still be improved.

The story line on the other hand gives me a very slow feeling and lacking in excitement. The story line is very normal and lacking in surprises. The author did not manage to raise my emotion thorugh the stories.
