*WHAT IS "MAXIMUM WIDOW"?
From 1992-1996, I wrote and illustrated the black-and-white, erotic horror WIDOW series, which has recently been collected in the four-volume set of WIDOW ARCHIVES graphic novels. Despite the requests of long-time fans, I chose to keep the ARCHIVES R-rated, and deleted all of the spicier scenes that I had created for the 1999 adults-only reprinting of the entire story, which was titled WIDOW X.
Well, it's time to bow to the demands of woman-spider lovers everywhere, because- at last- all of those lost pages are now being collected in one GIANT, 84-page volume called MAXIMUM WIDOW!
Every, single page in MAXIMUM WIDOW depicts scenes of an erotic nature, and contain nudity and adult language. All characters depicted are over the age of 18.
THE STORY
"Widow" is the story of Emma, a woman whose genetic code has been altered to incorporate arachnid DNA. Before freeing herself from the mad, reclusive scientist who created her, Emma discovered that her body possesses a virus which can be transmitted through bodily fluids, transforming those with whom she has intimate encounters into human/arachnid hybrids. FBI agent Drew Triggert unwittingly contracted the "spider virus," and together, the two became fugitives, running from the streets of Philadelphia to the desert of New Mexico. Living in seclusion with Drew, Emma faced more fiendish turmoil at the hands of the demonic cult of Father Love and the monstrous, world devourer Orta, and found unspeakable terrors in the secret, Nevada base known as "Area 51," side-by-side with the human/alien hybrid "Brandi Five-One."
IS THIS A COMPLETE STORY?
Far from it, actually. This volume compiles many single and multi-page vignettes that were inserted into the existing WIDOW stories, and later cut out. In some cases, the pages are extensions of existing scenes, and in others, they are completely new scenes, with completely new characters. You can think of this material as the stuff that hit the cutting room floor, but was later edited together into a "deleted scenes" feature on a DVD. If you enjoy erotic art as art alone, you'll love this book. But if you're a fan of storytelling, each page contains a notation that explains exactly where each page falls in the WIDOW ARCHIVES, all four of which are also available in this Kickstarter!
