I have to admit, I was skeptical at first. A stripper who’s also a cat? Really? Oh yes, really, and it’s a really good read and surprisingly sexy. Omaha The Cat Dancer was, and probably still is, the most banned comic book ever. Apparently, the authorities simply can’t deal with its combination of great art, a coherent, mature story line, and lots of hot sex that has a great deal to do with the plot. What’s the plot, you ask? Well, Omaha, who is a cat, or cat-like in that she has a cute kitty face, cat ears (that go back only when she’s really mad) and a tail (otherwise she has a hot little, very female, human body), is one of the best exotic dancers in town. Things are looking up after she meets the tom cat of her dreams, but alas there’s trouble ahead for poor Omaha. What follows is a story of political corruption and hysterical community leaders “protecting” the public (boy, that sounds awfully familiar to us — check out our blog for more details). I don’t want to give too much away, so I’ll just say that the sex fits perfectly in with the plot and the whole thing was so good I was torn between turning the pages to find out what happens next and drooling over all the hot sex drawn on the page. If you only buy one graphic novel, we strongly recommend this one.

Blowfish has always had a thing for erotic comics. The comic form just allows for so much expression and wild fantasy that you could never do in a movie. Lambiek, an Amsterdam comic store (and one of the coolest ones in the world, be sure to check it out if you are every there) has a great guide to erotic comics. Of course, we’d encourage to shop our selection here at Blowfish and saving on the international shipping charges. (Via Fleshbot.)

Most comic book fans have probably heard about Lost Girls Collected, the stunning, three-volume set of hardcover graphic novels by Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbe, which debuted to both accolades and controversy last year. The first printing last summer sold out within weeks and is only just now available again. Author Moore (best known for his non-erotic comics, such as Watchmen, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and V for Vendetta) and takes the grown-up versions of Alice (from Alice in Wonderland), Dorothy (from The Wizard of Oz) and Wendy (from Peter Pan) and has them meet at a fancy hotel and reminisce over their sexual awakenings so many years ago, interspersed with some hot sex with one another in their hotel rooms or tucked away behind some shrubbery in the gardens. Y’know, like women sometimes do. The writing is top-notch, the artwork stunningly beautiful and the sex is both erotic and fascinating, especially because these characters are exploring the sexual side of themselves at an age when most of us experienced our own sexual awakenings (teenaged, but not necessarily 18). Definitely one of the most impressive erotic graphic novels out there today. Recommended!
