If old pulp novels were more in-your-face with the sex rather than fading to black, they might be like this comic. People get blown away (and just plain blown) left and right. The art is simple but charming in its own way,while the plot is serviceable without being very deep.

I loved it. It’s a masterpiece in porn comics in my opinion. The story is funny and a little simple but there are so many details that makes it better. The art is the reason that keeps you reading more and more. I recommend this book if you’re looking for some old adult comic.

What a whore!

It's really funny.

Bernet is totally Bernet.

This is a graphic novel that might not be appreciated by everyone (especially politically correct). Art is very much in line with Archie comic style (of Riverdale fame) but very adult in its content.

Our protagonist, cabaret dancer Cicca is a nymphomaniac that manages to find way out of every situation through sex. And by this I mean she weaponizes sex to a degree that no man or woman can resist her :) it is hilarious to watch macho man after a macho man trying to subdue her. She just leaves them half dead from the experience :)

Art is gorgeous, story is what you would expect from porn comedy (with dead bodies piling up as it progresses :))

If you like adult comics give it a try. It does not try to be politically correct (and it is not) but you will most certainly enjoy a very strange story of a very gorgeous woman.
