Thamara & Juda

    (Last Gasp, 1997)
™ and © 1997 Last Gasp Publishing

You might not expect an illustrated Bible story to come from Priaprism Press (the title page kindly notes that "all models are over 18 years of age"), but Last Gasp Comics’ imprint for European erotica covers all the story beats from Genesis 38 in this issue. Originally published in France, the story follows the son of Jacob and Leah as he searches the Middle East for a wife for his eldest son Er. He finds one in the shapely Thamara, who obligingly gives him a chance to inspect the merchandise before purchase… and if you have more interest in the story than the artwork, this probably isn't the book for you. The translated dialogue is sometimes spotty (few Biblical translations have Juda describing himself as being "bummed"), but the art by "Pierre" is extremely anatomically correct.
