But, the basic elements were around before that happened. Urotsukidoji and La Blue Girl were at the tip of the cultural tentacle that so wetly slithered into our national consciousness and wrapped tight around the fap centers of some. That was back in 1989 - 40 years in just a couple more. By that point, however, it was somewhat familiar territory for me. Often as not, that territory was mapped by comics.
Let's go back a decade & a half before that tentacle came oozing on over - back to 1975.
Vampirella #40:
Our chapter in the ongoing tale of the Dame from Draculon this issue, with the full-on hentai splash:
Previously, Vampi killed an evil bastard, because that's what happens to evil bastards in horror comics. However, even evil bastards can have family (half family?). Sometimes evil family. This time, old hag witches, pissed off and seeking revenge.
So, cut to the naked demon summoning...
Not long after, the attacks, and double-entendres, begin:
"Fortunately, the door opens outward..."
In fine hentai tradition, a passing pervert wants to get him some...
...only to offer up a distraction for the demon, and the chase continues...
...climaxing in a tentacle scene that pushed (and kicked) against the limits of what could be published in newstand magazine of the day:
After being briefly violated by plant tentacles, Vampi had pretty much had enough of this shit. Fuck that no drink blood rule, let's kill this thing. After having its body destroyed, the pissed of demon uses the dead evil bastard to kill the family, and nobody lives happily ever after.
Yeah, 42 year ago me didn't know what to call it, but he was looking for more.
And now you know - Adult rated content isn't limited to Blue Monday, that's merely a regularly scheduled dose.
The Nameless Ravager by Flaxman Loew & Leopold Sanchez, from Vampirella #40(1975)
