BBBlue Monday

We're taking a look at a little seen side of a popular artist with the initials B. B., hence our stuttering subject line for today's edition of


Our featured artist today is one you might not expect to see here. Brian Bolland is well known for his finely detailed delineations and his realistic style, but you virtually never see real nudity from the man. Very nearly in The Killing Joke, but not to erotic effect. Kinda/sorta in The Doom Patrol in a not-quite-human/stare-back-at-you kind of way. Usually, at most there's an erotic undercurrent, such as in these images...



...and even then, he's hat-tipping to Chaykin that third piece.

But...  Once upon a time, 40 years ago, in a magical place across the sea, there was Little Nympho In Slumberland...



This odd bit of Bolland comes to us from the short lived Graphixus magazine -


We've seen a bit or two from Graphixus previously, and we'll certainly return to this self-describedly Odd book in the future.
Okay - They didn't use the word Odd, but, as Garry Leach said -


I'm going to call that close enough in intent.
