Artfully zipping back and forth between the ancient tale of Fey Brith, thefreshest flower of the Iron Devil Brothel, and the modern story of Tristi Joie,spunky turn-of-the-millennium New York City hooker, The Iron Devil is thelegendary Frank Thorne's most ambitious and most XXX-treme erotic masterpiece.(His only genuinely hardcore work!) Created back in the early 1990s, The IronDevil was released once as a softcover over 10 years ago and quicky soldout; this deluxe hardcover collects not just the original Iron Devil butits never before collected three-issue sequel The Devil's Angel,including the amazing satirical concluding issue in which a porn bust causesjust about all of Thorne's characters to line up and engage in a no-holds-barredbattle with the forces of intolerance and obscurantism, including hilarious,thinly disguised parodies of some major political figures! As a bonus, theoriginal black-and-white-and-gray art has been colorized into deep, scrumptiousduotones that give a whole new sparkle to what is some of the most amazing workof Thorne's career. Includes a new essay from Thorne about the notorious "IronDevil bust," a new introduction by Eros editor Ryder Windham (who has a majorstarring role in the comic), and "Thorne's Roses," a look back at Thorne's otherfemmes fatales from Red Sonja and Ghita through Lann and Moonshine McJugs to Feyand Tristi.
