Eros 1995
We talked at length about the new sexual revolu-tion and about how the mistake of the Sixties was that they took it too literally. The new sexual revoluuon will not be so narrow. It will not be about “Free Love”: with AIDS in the headlines that is no longer possible. What sex is safer than sex fantasy? The new sexual revolution will be about fantasy literature, film, comics, art… a subculture of con-sensual voyeurism. The new sexual revolution will be an erotic revolution.
We need to encourage and enjoy our var-ied fantasies. We can’t limit ourselves to the sex act or por-nography. We must instead explore our creativity. I look forward to exploring Mara and her world in future issues. I have new influences to draw from, such as Edmund Dulac and shamanism. But that will have to wait until the next graphic novel. For now, I hope that Mara, my primal vision, not only provides a sexual thrill, but that Marak barefoot dance through the sexual darkness might be as enlightening for you, the reader, as it was for me.
