5 comments about Twenty 1.

1. I enjoy von Gotha's earthy and erotic style of drawing, and the raunchy fantasies in his story. We'd all love to be members of the clubs he creates. I'd highly recommend this if you like hardcore erotic comics.



2. Erich von Gotha's work has always had abit of the Marquis de Sade in its stories and situations. One need only read his Troubles with Janice series, Very Special Prison and Sophie's Curious Perversions to see how much of an influence the Marquis had on Gotha's work.
   
   Twenty is one work where Gotha's taken a break from the heavy use of BDSM imagery in addition to the hedonistic sexual situations and rape encounters usually prevalent in his past projects. Gotha takes a more playful and fantasy-laden tone with Twenty. Though Gotha still manages to sneak in a section of the story where slave-training and slave auction of our heroine in question occurs. Its almost as if Gotha slipped back into his de Sade mode for just a moment.
   
   Twenty is not just the name of the graphic novel, but also the name of our sexually intrepid heroine. Twenty begins the tale as a shy, sexually-naive young woman about to attend a school with a very "special" curriculum set. The world Twenty lives in has just recovered and conquered the danger of AIDS, all manner of sexually transmitted diseases and accidental pregnancies. It is the ultimate in sexual freedom. The majority of the book shows Twenty gradually introduced to the many sexual situations and acts that this new sexual utopia, especially the school, has provided her and her classmates. Twenty goes from sexually-naive to a young woman freely accepting and willing to experience all things sexual. There's also abit of a subplot involving betrayal, conspiracies and malfesance. But in the end Twenty is all about a young woman's trip through a hedonistic wonderland.



3. It's unfortunate that so many talented artists employ such abilities in such a degrading manner



4. Full-Colored adult graphic novel.
   
   The story of a girl named Twenty around the year 2018 (2018 when she goes to that strange school). The book begins with Twenty visiting an old class friend, Mandy, and remembering the past. Twenty has left her husband, and she tells Mandy the story of why she has has left him. The story begins when she arrives at a new strange finishing school, a school where young women are prepared for the new sexual revolution.
   
   Twenty is 18 but inexperienced. She is going to a new school in this post-aids world and finds that the school takes sexual education very seriously and requires participation. She first learns this strange nature of the school when she meets the headmistress and a fellow student in the head's office. Both are wearing rather revealing clothing (though the nature of the headmistress' clothing is less obvious). The required student uniform, it would appear, is a short-sleeve short white shirt that just barely falls to mid-breast, and a rather short split skirt (skirt split up both sides to waistband). Any movement, and all is revealed. Twenty puts on her new school uniform and joins in school activities.
   
   Beyond learning about sex in school, Twenty joins her friend Mandy off-campus, while still wearing their uniforms. Oddly enough, they are wearing more clothing than some people they spot on the streets. Apparently, the elimination of aids has caused all to wear skimpy clothing and have sexual adventures with many partners.
   
   The two girls go to many places off-campus, and have some fun. Twenty finds out that people are inclined to take liberties, and touch all who pass by. Eventually they head to a strip club. Twenty ends up on stage. At this club, Twenty meets her future husband for the first time.
   
   While her sexual education continues at the finishing school by day, by night Twenty goes out with Gilbert. Gilbert strongly encourages Twenty to explore the people around them. Eventually Gilbert hands her off to his friend Simon, who leads Twenty to a castle like building. Simon introduces his wife Rachel, who is found naked standing up with arms bond above her . . . And now some bondage scenes.
   
   Twenty's story is interrupted and she is kidnapped.
   
   The drawing is rather good, nothing appears to be censored. Much bondage, whipping, punishment, sexual activity, and dominance.



5. While this book is a decent size for a graphic novel , the scenes are rushed, just as something is heating up , it moves on.
   The artwork, although color, is just average for detail, try Paris Quinn or Duvet if you're looking for something a little more exciting.
