Black Kiss II Paperback – July 30, 2013

First of all, Howard Chaykin's depraved and explicit world of Black Kiss is definitely NOT for everyone -- especially young readers.As a fan of the original, I thoroughly enjoyed this prequel. Revisiting characters like Beverly Grove and Bubba Kenton and their twisted adventures into darkness and filth among various socialites against the backdrop of the film industry, focusing on specific incidents during each decade of the 20th century, was both entertaining and illuminating.While much of the visuals and concepts are often confronting, there is a definite artistic quality to them ... along with cultural significance.While Black Kiss 2 may not be quite as groundbreaking or as intricate as the original, it is an excellent companion piece nonetheless.Hopefully, Chaykin is not finished with the world of Black Kiss just yet ... I'd love to see a Black Kiss 3 get published!

Great book.

I didn't like this as much as the original. I still liked the art but the stories really didn't work in my opinion. I just expected more... I would still say that if your a fan then it would fit in your collection.

great!!!

Could have been better

this is nothing like the first Black Kiss,

Very confusing disjointed storyline. For hard core Chaykin fans only!

Howard Chaykin fez um bom trabalho.

Este Black Kiss es mejor escrito y dibujado,y mas provocador e inquietante,que la primera parte de la obra.Chaykin no decepciona.Un 10 en la esc ala de como diria Melanie griffith en Body Double cualquier pijometro

J'AI FAIT UNE ERREUR, LIVRE EN ANGLAIS DONC DOMMAGE. MAIS J'AIME BEAUCOUP LE DESSIN ET LA MISE EN PAGE DES CASES. IL VA FALLOIR PEUT-ÊTRE QUE JE PRENNE DES COURS D'ANGLAIS CAR IL ME SEMBLE QUE L'AUTEUR EST VRAIMENT INTÉRESSANT

I would not classify this as erotic. Think of it more as Sin City with a greater number of sexual references. Would have been better in colour.This is like something you might see in the magazine "heavy metal". It is an interesting read.

I've loved Chaykin ever since I first read American Flagg. Transsexual vampires and sleazy heroes - the back story to the first volume and a sequel of sorts.
