About this product

Product Information

Twenty is the fantastic new erotic graphic novel from the talented artist of the Janice Trilogy and The Curiosity of Sophie , published for the first time in the UK. After the tragic death of her parents, Twenty is sent to a finishing school...with a difference. Here the art of flower arranging and cookery are rejected in favour of the far more exciting art of giving and receiving sexual pleasure. At first shocked and dismayed, Twenty quickly begins to enjoy her new found skills. Soon she falls in love with and marries the mysterious Gilbert who is determined to continue Twenty's education. But Gilbert is hiding a dark secret which will put Twenty in terrible danger. Erich von Gotha is the artist behind the bestselling The Troubles of Janice , The Curiosity of Sophie and A Special Prison . The background and identity of this elusive artist are the stuff of legend. It has been claimed by various ill-informed sources that he is a German diplomat, a Russian Doctor, a well-known French philosopher, or an English academic named Robbins. There are elements of truth in all these stories, but not much. He did in fact enjoy a nomadic upbringing and travelled extensively with his artist father. From this he learnt much of his art, quickly discovering a predilection for the erotic and sometimes obscene depiction of beautiful women, often particularly appreciated by women themselves. He went on to produce his own ground-breaking magazine, Torrid , long since disappeared but avidly collected. After publication of The Troubles of Janice he swiftly gained a world-wide reputation and it is available today almost everywhere except Somalia. He continues to produce feverishly exciting comics and drawings in different versions and for clients all around Europe. He has had exhibitions of his work in Paris and Brussels and is recognised as one of the seminal figures in the history of erotic strip-cartoons.
