This is a quantom leap forwards from the first YW book. It's evident both the writers and artist have learned from their prior experience.

The story takes place straight after the end of book 1 where our heroines are picked up in a coach containing the famous Dr Jeckle This sets the town for the rest of the book with a strong story, driven along alternately by sex and cameos of famous Victorian londoners (Sherlock Holmes, Jack the Ripper, etc).

Special praise must be made of the art already the strongest part of the series this looks amazing here especialy as they remember that this is a porn comic and put some sex scenes in there this time .

This time it's definately worth a look my only criticism is that a better introduction so that anyone who missed book 1 could pick the story up painlessly would have helped. If you've read book 1 this is a must if you haven't I'd start here and not worry too much at the references you don't get

This is the continuation of the the two witches, Lilian and Agatha, who just escaped the horrorible fate of the institute now burned down to the ground. Cold and only have each other the women try to find refuge in London. Suddenly they come across a carriage and a man named Dr. Jekyll offers them a ride and something to drink. What they don't know is that the drink is drugged and they find themselves in a dungeon strapped to the bed naked with other women who are suffering the same fate. The girls now know that they are being held captive by the evil Mr. Hyde. They drug the girls with a device that they insert in their vaginas (Spoiler) called "Enema" which brings up their sex drive and Mr. Hyde, his servant, and their fat lesbian maid all take advantage of their helplessness. Along with that,Sherlock Holmes comes on the scene trying to investigate the prostitution murderings of Jack the Ripper!

I like this book because it was more thrilling than the first. It had alot of sex in it but it also brought in some drama, plot, and gory violence. Not too mention wondering if the girls were ever going to get the hell out of their sex prison and defeat the evil Mr. Hyde before its too late.

Collection of six black and white adult graphic books released 1995-1996 by Solano Lopez & Barreiro.

London, 19th century. Lilian Cunnington and Agatha are the sole survivors of their witch school, which burned to the ground. Wandering along a roadway after the fire, wearing little, they are picked up by an rather nice doctor passing by in a privately owned stagecoach. Dr. Jekyll takes them home with him to London.

While Dr. Jekyll is detained, the girls are offered some lovely tea. Unfortunately for them, it has been drugged. Now they are prisoners, constantly feed drugs, in the basement of a nightclub like establishment with other female prisoners. The drugged women provide entertainment at the nightclub/brothel-like place (without the private rooms).

The book includes Dr. Jekyll, Jack the Ripper, Sherlock Holmes (and Dr. Watson), bestiality, drugs, murder, violence, sex, Dr. Sigmund Freud (helping a Mr. Robert Louis Stevenson), Albert Einstein, some masked man (possibly a royal), a nun, Conan Doyle, Winston Churchill, and some attempted ritual sacrifices.

The drawing is rather good, though somewhat hindered by being black & white. The plot is strong, and the characterization and personalities of the main characters are quite developed. Overall, a better book than its predecessor (and, so far, the best book in the series, which so far is up to Volume 6).

Note, names used above are spelled like they are in the book).

The girls introduced in Young Witches are older and more fully developed in this second volume. It continues the story with the witches moved to Victorian London, a great deal different from the puritanish image that most people have of that era. For anyone who enjoyed the first volume, I highly recomend this.
