Kiss

is the English version of Spain's very popular erotic anthology, a sizzling collection of well-drawn, raunchy stories by some of the most recognized international writer-artists in the erotic genre. It is considered Spain's premier erotic art and comics magazine, featuring lusty ladies and horny men in bawdy and promiscuous situations. Great work throughout, from pen & ink to painted art. Also has reviews of exotic and erotic books and websites, plus the latest info on sexual trends and behavior. The English issues seem to have stopped at #21, and they are all here. Publication of the original Spanish version is still going strong, however. .

is compilation of two books consisting of 4-issue comic book miniseries on the subject of vampires by Barry Blair and published by Aircel Comics, a Canadian publisher of comic books specializing in historical and futuristic fantasy or science fiction for a mature audience and that is most noted for the franchise. The first volume is entitled, "Beware the Vampyre's Kiss" and the second, "Bianca's Revenge." The Vampyre's Kiss comic book series is significant for its attempts at fusion of the world of vampires and elements of occult horror with mature and graphic sexual content, which spurred a slew of imitations and even more extreme content, such as the series from Eros Comix. Part of my personal countdown to that quaint and unique holiday, Halloween.
