From a North American perspective, comic books have long been perceived as a children's medium. The reality is that for the better part of the 20th century, numerous famous, and infamous, artists have devoted their talents to creating erotically -charged, and extremely sexually explicit, comic books. This special will trace the development of this art form from its illegal origins in the underground "Tijuana Bibles" in the 20s and 30s, to the more subversive, taboo-smashing comics of the 60s, up to today's hardcore publications. Features profiles on several influential artists in this genre, including Spain Rodriguez, Roberta Gregory, Phil Foglio & Michael Manning.
