Black Kiss II (2012)

"story / art / cover HOWARD CHAYKIN Sex, death, and the movies - what else really matters? Nearly twenty five years ago, HOWARD CHAYKIN brought the 80s to a close, and comics to the brink, with his landmark erotic thriller, BLACK KISS. Now, after years of anticipation, he's back with issue one of BLACK KISS II, a six-part miniseries that tells the story behind that legendary story - like the original, in glorious black and white. And really, now - does it have to be so dirty?"

"story / art / cover HOWARD CHAYKIN In the second of six explorations of the dark side, filth piles on filth as the 20th Century revs into high gear - and the stroboscoping world of the movies conceals and reveals the degeneracy and debauchery hiding behind the winning smiles of matinee idols and America's sweethearts. "

"The black shadow of fascist darkness sprawls across France--shattered by the scarlet smears of sex and death And the south coast learns there's more to California than sunshine and surf, as twin offspring of different mothers find soulmates. "

"Our spiritual twins, united by a bridge of flesh, careen through Mardi Gras in 1962 And a mirrored ball is all the light Beverly needs as New York goes pitch black -with a smear of red - in 1977."
