Violent Porn Comics
Violent Porn Comics, often marketed exclusively towards adults (or mature readers), feature sexually explicit or morally questionable material and often feature violent scenes or images that parody popular culture, while some even cover topics like racism, war, sexual harassment or mental illness. Adult comic books typically come illustrated in full color for easier readability compared to their more mature counterparts which typically feature black and white illustrations.
Violent porn comics have long been around, but their first formal marketing as adult comics occurred during the 1970s when companies like EC Publishing started publishing black-and-white magazines such as Creepy and Eerie for adults. These were frequently illustrated by artists who had previously worked on EC’s horror line and designed as larger than regular comic books so they could be sold alongside adult magazines like Life, Playboy and Vogue; additionally they often contained more explicit material than mainstream superhero comics.
Successful adult comic titles spurred on several independent publishers that produced adult comics, including Canadian Dave Sim’s Cerebus in 1977 and Richard and Wendy Pini’s Elfquest anthology publication which launched in 1978. American companies soon followed suit with companies like Dark Horse Comics publishing Frank Miller’s noirish Sin City starting in 1986.
Recently in the United States, DC Comics and Marvel Comics have introduced more erotic titles, such as X-Men, Uncanny X-Men, The Dark Knight and Wolverine, by publishers DC Comics and Marvel Comics. Critics and fans alike have welcomed these works with open arms; often mixing traditional superhero storylines with more sexually explicit or erotic themes; these titles have received good reviews from critics as well as enthusiastic response from fans who don’t fear explicit content such as breasts and penis! These works have received great acclaim by critics as well as avid fans who don’t shy away from more explicit and explicit topics presented within these works by publishers DC and Marvel Comics respectively. toponlystars
As yet, it remains to be seen if these sexy and violent comics can attract enough new readers to sustain the industry. If they do so successfully, however, it will be important not to oversaturate the market with them since there will only ever be so many people willing to purchase these stories; writers and editors must find creative ways of persuading readers to continue purchasing these titles.
Short term, sex and violence will work, but writers and creators of such works should maintain interest by offering a variety of stories. Over time however, sex and violence will become tiresome to readers and other tactics will need to be employed in order to bring readers back – perhaps killing off an important character or unveiling new costumes that spark an audience member’s sense of curiosity could do just the trick!
