Butts & (Almost) Nudity in “Anne Rice’s Servant of the Bones”

Servant of the Bones is our last installment for Anne Rice August. Just by looking at the cover, I thought this would be promising. But then again, and I gotta tell you, there’s no full-frontal nudity in the comic version of Tale of the Body Thief and Queen of the Damned either, even if the cover has nudity. And so, we’re ending this month with a whimper.

When we return next week with another installment of Nerdcore Friday, there’ll be full-frontal male nudity. Pinky promise!

The blurb:

Anne Rice, among the most iconic creators in horror, brings one of her richest stories to IDW in this six-part tale of murder, demonic revenge, and the redemptive power of faith. When a beautiful young woman is brutally slain in the streets of New York City, the demon Azriel sets out to discover who killed her, only to find a far more sinister plot that could end the world. Once a human in ancient Babylon, Azriel is a spirit of rage and terror that gradually rediscovers his humanity through holy vengeance and spiritual love.

Dollsexposed documents full-frontal male nudity in comics and cartoons from mainstream and independent creators. The project was created in response to the longstanding imbalance in how male and female nudity are depicted in popular media.

Outside of Nerdcore, Dollsexposed creates mixed-media and miniature photography. Their work has been included in several juried exhibitions and festivals, including Tucson Erotica Art Show, Seattle Erotic Art Festival, Los Angeles Kinky Art Show, and Los Angeles Leather Getaway.
