Comment: Corben's own story is made for possible men's
magazine, but was never sold through. How censored version differs
from reprinted original version, is that Corben makes kind of
bra- and pantie-tattoo on a girl. Coverings are glare fake, but
they cover not much. Corben's art is painted very good; he is
focused wisely on bodies. Girl's last quote, "Let me lick
your wounds -" "- and other stuff!" is shortened
as "Let me lick your wounds -".
