Meatmen Volume 23

Rating:
Summary: Vol.23: Roman Orgy, Swamp Sex, etc...
Review: Following up on Vol.22's "Bike Boy" is "Message To The Emperor" by Zack, a 30-page mini-epic which takes an innocent youth down a long road in ancient times toward a truly spectacular climax, with amazing art that really raises the book's standards a few notches. (I only wish I could see it all in color, like the cover illo!) As usual, the other highlights this time are Gerard Donelan's single-panel cartoons and the latest installment of John Blackburn's blue-eyed blonde bi-boy, Coley: "Voodoo Swamp Angel". Disturbing violence is portrayed side-by-side with incredibly erotic sequences-- standard stuff for Coley! Between Zack & Blackburn it's a toss-up as to which artist's work is "better" or "hotter", but who cares? I only wish ALL the work on display here was of this high quality! (As for the rest-- oh well...)
