Ironwood

    (Eros, 1991-1994)
™ and © Eros Comics, a division of Fantagraphics Books, Inc.

After his departure from Comico, writer/artist Bill Willingham (Elementals) took his considerable skills to Eros Comix, where he concocted this lusty mix of Middle-earth fantasy and lurid flesh. In the dark forest of Ironwood, somewhere between the Goblin Kingdoms and the Human Lands, the villainous Sulimon Canto has hired Fantasia Faust, a killer who uses sex as a weapon, to steal something called the Lazarus Knife from errant ship captain Pandora Breedlswight. But the beautiful Pandora has some allies in the form of adventurer Dave Dragavon and the polite but deadly demon Hugo Wormfire. Sword and sorcery exploits mix with tantalizing and bizarre sexploits, but the overall effect is that of a fairly coherent narrative, and not just an excuse to show drawings of naked people (or, in this case, naked monsters and centaurs, too). Like most Eros products, Ironwood is most definitely an adult comic, for mature readers only.
