"Erotic Comics: A Graphic History" examines the way this artform developed from the bawdy cartoons of 17th century England into a modern publishing phenomenon that spans the globe. Volume 1 uncovers the rise of saucy postcards and the provocative comic books known as Tijuana Bibles, and reveals the unexpected implications of social upheavals such as the two World Wars on erotic comic art. The rise of men's magazines in the 1950s, and the cartoons they contained, helped push the medium to the fore, as did Playboy founder Hugh Hefner.Later titles such as "Penthouse" and "Hustler" actively supported the artform. The underground comix movement of the 1960s reflected the sexual liberation of the era. Deliberately overstepping boundaries and breaking taboos, the work of cartoonists like Robert Crumb and Howard Cruse expanded new-found freedoms and courted controversy. With exquisite art from around the world and fascinating interviews with the artists, editors, and publishers, "Erotic Comics: A Graphic History" is perfect for fans of adult comics, art history, and erotic illustrations.

hardcover. Etat : Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
