Just finished these comics. Really great. Really pornographic, but in that literate, dense, layered way that makes it all OK 
I’ve read other pornographic comics before - Altuna, Manara, Serperi, Crepax, Pitchard. This one outshone them by a large chunk - I put most of that down to Moore’s writing, as Gebbie’s art is very good, but not mindblowing, except when she’s doing pastiche. The attention to smaller visual details deserves special mention, though. Very well-researched, IMO.
So, anyone else read them?
I did. I honestly didn’t see what the fusss was all about. It wasn’t really all that sexy or interesting to me. I think the art was flat and static which hurt the sex scenes immensely. I was confused as to what I was supposed to be getting out of it.
Were you a big fan of the originals? And what about the Decadents?
I think the best bit about it was the delving into the Wold Newton-esque group of literary girls, the psychodrama that unfolds. And, as porn, it works for me, so de gustibus and all that…
I have to get this & the LXG’s BLACK DOSSIER- maybe for my Christmas List.
Meanwhile, have anyone seen the Net comic CHESHIRE CROSSING? (Google it up).
