MODERN "BAD GIRL" Art Comic Super-set! Mature art!

$15.95

Did you ever ponder what was the difference between "bad girl" art and "good girl" art in the publishing world?

The difference is basically how the girls are posed, and clothed. Suffice to say, the 2 books in this fun set are well drawn with examples of pretty, busty women falling out of skimpy garments, therefor qualifying as "bad" girl cover art.  In the magazine world, the difference of Playboy vs Esquire may provide another ready example--beautiful girls with no much less clothes would end up on the cover of Playboys, and so forth.

Bad girl art took off in the 1990's and was a popular way to promote and sell modern independent comics, ranging from bad girls with Martial arts weaponry (like Dawn) or bad girls in horror situations (like Vampirella or Lady Death) or even Superheroines (see Gen 13 early covers!).

Here in a cool 2 book set, reasonably priced for a collector or as a neat gift, is a sample set:

1991 FLAXEN # 1 by Dark Horse:  Flaxen is a rather odd one-shot celebrating real-life model Susie “Flaxen” Owens, shown on the back cover in the garb of the title character. It begins with a comic story starring a golden-haired super-heroine whose powers stem from her incredible self-confidence. In that story, she inspires a depressed and overweight woman to stand up to her corrupt boss.
The rest of the special is divided between pinup pages of Owens (including a rather funny entry by Sergio Aragonés) and a text piece telling her real-life story. Owens, it turns out, was once an overweight dental assistant who mustered the willpower to turn herself into a knockout. Her story is held up as an inspiration to others. 
CAVEWOMAN ODYSSEY # 1 is an obscure 1999 offering
