I do like writing about comic book covers. Covers are the first thing that one notices when perusing a magazine rack or the comic book stand. And there are certain elements that never fail to attract the eye: vibrant colors; dramatic composition; screaming lettering; and sex. In these present times of stifling political correctness, sometimes the cover is the only thing justifying the act of buying a comic book. And I intend to keep writing about it here, both about great comic book covers and sexy comic book covers. And eventually, stupid comic book covers. However, in thinking of coming back to this blog, with my dismal record and posting rhythm, I could see it easily becoming dominated by posts about covers, and not about comic book reading. Instead of a weekly update about covers (say, each Wednesday) amidst longer and more substantial posts, it threatened to turn into a substantial text every three or six months and lots of posts about covers. That’s why I decided to create an unpretentious, and merely ancillary blog to post my thoughts about – for now, at least - sexy comic book covers. It doesn’t mean I won’t tackle here some sexy covers in more depth; only that I will use this other blog as a more frequently updated repository of such covers. Maybe one day, it and Gallery of Capes and Bustiers my form a kind of virtual iconotheque for all things of comic book’s aesthetics of erotica (although less pretentious than it sounds). So, dear eventual reader, if that’s also your cup of tea, or if you are just curious or looking for some sexy images of your favorite characters, drop by sometime and leave a comment or two. After all, I’d love to know if you also find sexy what I think is sexy.
