The Lambada Collection #3

Part of Fantagraphics' Lambada Collection, this 1997 adults-only anthology — Orgasm Island and Other Stories, Volume Three — arrives with a sun-drenched cover depicting two nude figures on a rocky shoreline, bathed in warm amber and orange light. The woman in the foreground stretches languidly while a long-haired man crouches in the background against a dramatic sunset sky, the whole composition carrying a sultry, painterly atmosphere. At $12.95, it's a mature anthology that reflects Fantagraphics' longtime commitment to publishing comics well outside the mainstream.
