The Apsinthion Protocol: Chapter One, Cover

For a long time I’ve wanted to try to realize some of my script material in comic book form, and now with the help of artist Lon Ryden that vision is beginning to come true.  Today we launch the first chapter of the comic book adaption of The Apsinthion Protocol. I’ll be serializing Chapter One through much of the month of March here at Erotic Mad Science, and hope that you all enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it.

Any self-respecting comic book starts with a cover, and Lon came up with a gorgeous allegorical one for the launch:  une fée verte embracing…well, you’ll have to follow the action to understand just what.

Apsinthion II: Page One

It’s a great pleasure to be able to present another short comics series, this time adapted from The Apsinthion Protocol. Over the next five days we follow Nanetta Rector on her (impliedly) second trip through Professor Corwin’s Apsinthion device, and even get to follow some of her thoughts through the process.  She’s supported in this curious enterprise by her friend and roomate Moira Weir and Corwin’s assistant Li Anwei.  Orgasmic dissolution…For Science!

The artist here is Lon Ryden, whose work on Penelope Pornstarr we’ve seen before here at Erotic Mad Science.  I’m impressed with Lon’s work on this brief bit of adapted script and hope you are too.  Here is Page One.

Fusion organique

Here’s another Elvifrance cover, from it’s Série Blanche, No. 36, which is intriguing for the thaumatophile, because one has to ask, what on earth is going on here?

Are we looking at

  1. A conjoinment fantasy?  That would seem to be one obvious reading of une fusion organique.
  2. A liquid girl storyWiktionnaire gives the first definition fusion as “liquéfaction d’un corps par l’action de la chaleur” and there certainly does seem to be a bit of melting going on at the base of the illustration.
  3. Something A.S.F.R.-related even?  Women are not normally silver or gold like that.

As for the grotesque figure looming over them, I haven’t a clue.

It gets stranger from there, because there is some evidence that whatever was beneath the cover you see above was considered too naughty even to be published in France.  The index page for the cover art in the series tells us “Les n°35 et 36 sont des microtirages destinés à la commission de censure, donc jamais commercialisés.”

Which fact, of course, only makes this thaumatophile want it more.
