The Complete Iron Devil

The Complete Iron Devil #1-6

by Frank Thorne, Ryder Windham (Introduction)

Artfully zipping back and forth between the ancient tale of Fey Brith, the freshest flower of the Iron Devil Brothel, and the modern story of Tristi Joie, spunky turn-of-the-millennium New York City hooker, The Iron Devil is the legendary Frank Thorne's most ambitious and most XXX-treme erotic masterpiece. (His only genuinely hardcore work!) Created back in the early 1990s, The Iron Devil was released once as a softcover over 10 years ago and quicky sold out; this deluxe hardcover collects not just the original Iron Devil but its never before collected three-issue sequel The Devil's Angel , including the amazing satirical concluding issue in which a porn bust causes just about all of Thorne's characters to line up and engage in a no-holds-barred battle with the forces of intolerance and obscurantism, including hilarious, thinly disguised parodies of some major political figures! As a bonus, the original black-and-white-and-gray art has been colorized into deep, scrumptious duotones that give a whole new sparkle to what is some of the most amazing work of Thorne's career. Includes a new essay from Thorne about the notorious "Iron Devil bust," a new introduction by Eros editor Ryder Windham (who has a major starring role in the comic), and "Thorne's Roses," a look back at Thorne's other femmes fatales from Red Sonja and Ghita through Lann and Moonshine McJugs to Fey and Tristi.

An amazing reminder of how far comics have come and Oklahoma's history with them. I highly recommend this collected edition of the erotica comic to those looking for a list of Frank Thorne's work as well as an introduction to him as an artist. As someone who lives in Oklahoma I never knew that this comic existed or that it caused such a commotion that book stores were raided and people were arrested over it. I'm glad I know now.

Żelazny diabeł i Diabelski anioł w jednym tomie, łącznie z epilogiem, który komentuje skandal i reakcję na wydanie tego drugiego. Jak daleko można iść z porno fantasy i gdzie są granice cenzury. No ale przede wszystkim to srogo pojebana historia. Tak przegięta, że nie sposób się uśmiać, obrzydzić czy zaskoczyć. Autor wykorzystał wolną rękę z naddatkiem. Mamy tu kurwy, demony, prawaków, bezdomnych, bogatych i wszyscy się ze sobą pieprzą. Dwa plany czasowe - współczesny i starożytny, gdzie scenografia się tylko zmienia. Mocne!

Art: 5/5
Story: 1/5

Frank Thorne’s art is luscious as always but the story is nonexistent, it is written as though attempting satire but without saying anything at all.
