SYNOPSIS
QUEENS OF THE ABYSS: BAD GIRLS OF COMICS - Eroticism, Power, and Graphic Subversion
They didn't come to save the day... but to sell it, burn it and dance on the ashes. From Lilith to Vampirella, from Lady Death to Red Sonja, comic book anti-heroines have for more than a century embodied the fear and desire of a culture that demonizes them as it collects them. With the pulse of a researcher and the edge of an incorrigible fan, Queens of the Abyss travels through myths, censorship, and editorial explosions: from the 1954 Code that banned drawn flesh to the metal covers of the nineties and actual z-rated variant covers that turned transgression into gold.
QUEENS OF THE ABYSS: BAD GIRLS OF COMICS - Eroticism, Power, and Graphic Subversion
They didn't come to save the day... but to sell it, burn it and dance on the ashes. From Lilith to Vampirella, from Lady Death to Red Sonja, comic book anti-heroines have for more than a century embodied the fear and desire of a culture that demonizes them as it collects them. With the pulse of a researcher and the edge of an incorrigible fan, Queens of the Abyss travels through myths, censorship, and editorial explosions: from the 1954 Code that banned drawn flesh to the metal covers of the nineties and actual z-rated variant covers that turned transgression into gold.
Why are we still fascinated by impossible women who use the body as a weapon and the market as a stage? The answer beats in every cover, every prohibition and every look that cannot be turned away... But beware: when you think you've understood them, the next page will bite you back.
