Jenny Linn-Cole makes well friendly comics about pirates. "Steamy" is a untold tale from her 200 page extravaganza, 'Gurkin Trifle'. Sep the reluctant sea captain and his pleasantly annoying bold and vicous Captain Kat are captured by an elitist thug and his shipload of vicous bullies. Cue approach of Linn-Cole's risque humour full blown, with scenes of graphic sexual violence, cussin', more violence and sweet sweetest surrealist comedy.
Linn-Cole's stytle is iconic but with a classical influence, certainly 'cartooning' rather than comics in it. Of a certain era...
Full of water imagery - crests, waves, curls and exclamatory expressionism. I'll be reviewing "Gurkin Trifle" over the coming weeks, but new readers need not put off jumping aboard on this great series. Currently, its more readily available than the other works.. "Gets Steamy" reads well as a self-contained work and contains surprises that will amuse and delight those not having seen the series. "Steamy" is new UK sized with a colour cover and is priced about £2.50 and is available through Smallzone.. (If you can't find it on site email Shane for more details)
