The Complete Iron Devil (Hardcover)

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. This title 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.
