VIRGIN PROJECT

The Virgin Project is a new graphic novel project by K.D. Boze and Stasia Kato. It's a whole bunch of true stories about different people's first sexual experiences. The names have been changed to protect the formerly innocent.

This is a surprisingly engaging collection, and it grabbed me immediately. The stories are quite democratic. There are sad stories, happy ones, funny ones, straight, and gay. Regardless, they all touch on something universal in all of us. Truth is stranger than fiction, especially when it comes to the bedroom, or the backseat of a Caddy.

This material is for mature audiences, but not what I would call pornography. As a parent, you might even want your children to read it. Perhaps they could avoid some of the situations depicted therein.

The Virgin Project is a 142 page Trade Paperback, Color and Black and white. It sells for $25. It has not yet been widely distributed, and we bought our copies from the publisher. It's on sale now at both Lee's Comics locations. For those of you that can't make it to the store, you can order by mail.

I recommend this book highly.

TIN STARS

I'm always on the look out for cool items that will delight comic book fans. Here is a neat new item, now on sale at the stores. It's tin signs, and license plates with many of your favorite Marvel and DC characters. The art and graphics are fantastic! Some of them have that weathered and rusty look. These make great gifts, and they are a big step up from your standard poster. Check out the full selection next time you shop at Lee's Comics.
