Black Kiss

The twelve-issue series was written and drawn by Howard Chaykin, author of the ''American Flagg!'' series which often hinted at the sort of sexual content which ''Black Kiss'' showed in detail. In fact, Vortex Comics' usual printer refused to print the book due to its content. To help retailers who had worries over selling what could be described as pornography, Vortex released the series sealed in a plastic bag. This meant that casual browsers could not open the comic, or obviously see the internal content (however, this was not done when Vortex released a series of collected editions ca ...
