Sex In The Comix
A sexy, revealing journey into the heart of erotic comic strips,
SEX IN THE COMIX examines the colorful history of a unique and risqué
art form. With New York comic artist and burlesque performer Molly
Crabapple as our guide, this compact documentary navigates the history
of the art form, from special editions by masters of the genre to
provocative new works from a young generation of artists. Featuring
legendary comic creators R. Crumb, Manara and Ralf König, as well as new
wave and mainstream artists, including Alison Bechdel and her
game-changing FUN HOME, this stimulating documentary takes fans along on
a special exploration into a one-of-a-kind medium. As the erotic comic
is poised to make a big-time comeback, it serves as an expression of
society’s most intimate trials and exposes our collective, if taboo,
fantasies (all via speech bubbles).
