Celluloid

Zusammenfassung A woman arrives at an apartment! but her partner can't get away from work.She is disappointed and settles in for a night alone! but finds a film projectorwith a reel of film loaded. The film is scratched and blurry! but she can makeout a couple making love. When the film burns out! a door is revealed whichleads to a misty town square... and a series of fantastical sexual encounters.But the plot doesn't really matter. The artist says: "There are so many comicsabout violence. I'm not entertained or amused by violence! and I'd rather nothave it in my life. Sex! on the other hand! is something the vast majority of usenjoy! yet it rarely seems to be the subject of comics. Pornography is usuallybland! repetitive! and ugly! and! at most! 'does the job'. I always wanted tomake a book that is pornographic! but is also! I hope! beautiful! andmysterious! and engages the mind." Bringing to bear the astonishing range of illustrative and storytellingskills that have served him so well on his collaborations with Neil Gaiman! DaveMcKean forges into new territory with fantastical erotica.
