Summary

Girls, Girls, Girls! Step right up and don't be shy. This intimate, accordion-folded and concertina-bound portfolio of 20 never-before-seen "Pinup Girl" portraits from the world's most respected cartoonists opens up to reveal more than 10 feet of original and subversively erotic "girly" comics. Featuring R. Crumb's "Lela," a robust vision of overflowing femininity, Dan Clowes' "Doris," the last girl on earth, Adrian Tomine's "Yuki," a young woman captured in a serene domestic moment, and Gary Panter's "Cave Girl," a menacing yet alluring female amid raptors and pterodactyls, this highly collectible volume is not simply a collection of traditional pinups, but a string of 20 "mini-narratives" set in environments as disparate as the bedroom and the bowling alley, the circus or the Cenozoic. Includes work by Rick Altergott, Peter Bagge, Johnathan Bennett, Ivan Brunetti, Charles Burns, Robert Crumb, Daniel Clowes, Kim Deitch, Sammy Harkham, Tim Hensley, Gilbert Hernandez, Jaime Hernandez, Tony Millionaire, Mitch O'Connell, Gary Panter, Archer Prewitt, Ron Regé, Jr., Richard Sala, Adrian Tomine and Dan Zettwoch. Comes in a transparent plastic box.
