Story and art by Chris C. Cilla.

Chris Cajero Cilla's (The Heavy Hand) new book from FU Press is a collection of the artist's short stories created over the past decade-plus that recall the work of contemporary masters such as Matthew Thurber and Michael Deforge, as well as the great underground comix of the 1960s and 1970s.

In these comics, his twisted efforts are turned to the world of sex, with results that are hilarious, freaky, wildly imaginative, and unspeakably filthy. Introduction by Terry Southern. Pocket- sized. Softcover, 5 3/8" x 7 3/8", 64 pages, B&W, Adults Only.
