While the pictures are of a high compositional and technical standard, the theme of 'women being inexplicably naked for the consumption of the male gaze' is a little tired.

Back in the late 70's early 80's one of the cash flow generators for comic artists was theme portfolios advertised in the back pages of adult comic magazines like Epic and Heavy Metal and the Warren line. Big cardboard portfolio packages with up to a dozen big prints of fantasy and erotic subjects. Brunner had a few of them including an Elric one and lots of the 70's illustrative style wave of artists like Bernie Wrightson and Neal Adams had their own. I remember this.

But I'm just kinda surprised that everyone seems so surprised. This kinda stuff is certainly not a new theme; has no one here heard of the Alice in Wonderland musical porn flick (also from the 70s)?

Unless you're not into women *eyeroll* All for nudity and obviously this is an older Alice, but hey that women is the only nude has been done to death since Dejeuner Sur L'Herbe and lots of dodge porn. Where's the naked men? I bet they'd balk at those - in that case, it's just soft core porn rather than art I suspect. “don’t be silly, looking at naked chicks will never get old, no matter what anyone says or thinks. i mean c’mon men have been getting out of their way to gaze at naked women ever since clothing was invented.”

Sure, it's trite and not terribly creative (let's take a well known story with famous illustrations but we'll make one of the characters a hot naked chick!!!!!) but honestly it's just weird drawing. Her legs are so messed up and her boobs are in a weird place, I'd expect everything to be that stylized. Yeah, it would be a lot more interesting if Humpty were naked. It would be an interesting opportunity to invent a way to attach legs to an egg. That is a terrible drawing.
