Recently acquired, this splash page from Miss 130, a series of soft-core porn manga by Chiyoji Tomo, published by Manga Cobra. I didn’t acquire this spread just because it’s quite well drawn, especially the woman’s feet, but it also has some other charming elements to it.
First is the graphical usage of the Japanese type. The large characters surrounding the scene are meaningless in Japanese and only serve to imitate the sound of people having sex. Second is the clever usage of horizontal lines to create motion/thrust in the image. Third is the strategically positioned splatters of white paint. And fourth is the presentation of hair, not just the woman’s hairstyle, but particularly the whimsical presentation of hair on the man’s body.
Hair on a man doesn’t appear very often on comic heroes unless they are villains. One of the rare, hairy comic heroes was Rip Kirby.
