  ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

  There are so many amazing people to thank for this book that it’s difficult to know where to start, so I’ll start at the beginning with Brad and Liz Brooks who started this whole thing by buying me L’Enfer Des Bulles all those years ago. So it’s all your fault!

  A big shout out to Garry L for his excellent painting, loan of the Bill Ward originals, and various scans of rare and essential comics. I bow to your wondrous erotic knowledge, sir! My undying gratitude to Aline Kominsky Crumb for her insightful and funny foreword—you really were the icing on the cake and I’m glad we managed to get you on board in the end! And a big thanks to Lora Fountain for getting Aline and Robert in the book in the first place.

  This book wouldn’t have been possible without the assistance of Gene Kannenberg, Jr., whose tireless searches for smut no doubt placed him in many a compromising situation. Gene’s picture research, scanning, fact checking, and knowledge lifted the book from a hackwork to something more.

  Merci beaucoup to Martine Deprez for all the European picture research, above and beyond the call of duty. Thanks to Bill Osgerby, whose extensive collection of classic men’s magazines many of these images came from. To Will Elder and Gary VandenBergh for Mr Elder’s wonderful work and factual cor
rections. To Denis Kitchen, for sage-like advice and for being a gent when a complete stranger rings him out of the blue! John McInnerny at Allsorts Media, Carol Pinkus at Marvel, Jennifer Thiele at Playboy, Donna Hahner at Hustler, Eric Reynolds at Fantagraphics, Dian Hanson and Klaus Kramp at Taschen, Olivia de Berardinis, Doug Sneyd, Dean Yeagle, Jim Silke, Dave Taylor, Fredric Mullally, Liz Embleton, Erich Von Götha, Michael Manning, and all the other countless artists, writers, creators, editors, and publishers who took time out to talk to me, offer encouragement, and give permission to reprint your wonderful work—you guys made this book.

  To J.B. Rund at Belier Press, thank you for taking the time to talk with me in New York and showing me all those wondrous John Willie original pages, it’s an experience I’ll never forget. Garth Ennis for the NYC hospitality and for all the free smut! This book would have been far more expensive without you!

  Thank you to Cheeky Joe Melchior for the loan of his Dan DeCarlo originals and for being a true mate. Much gratitude to Alex Chun for the support and for writing such excellent books on many of the great artists featured in this book. Rush out and buy all of his books now!

  A special thanks to Fiona Jerome and Kirk Taylor for your help and research, even though we didn’t use any of it in the end, sorry! Cheers also to Steve Holland for additional research. Thanks also to Josh Palmano for allowing his excellent comic shop Gosh! to be an impromtu photographic studio! Visit his shop in London, UK if you get the chance.

  A big thanks to Chris, Julie, Emily, and Tom for putting up with my constant arguments and prima donna ways on how the book should look and to Eric Himmel and Charlie Kochman at Abrams for their unwavering support and friendship. Eric, your passion for the project was greatly appreciated, as was all your insightful input.

  And fnally to Sue for all the support, love, and acceptance while doing this book, which I know you thoroughly disapprove of! To Megan and Oskar, I don’t want to catch you reading this sentence until you are at least 18! And to Mum and Dad—I’m so, so sorry!

  Gene Kannenberg, Jr. would like to thank Brian J. Hunt (www.littledirtycomics.com/), Michael Rhode, The Joey Zone, and Robin Barron.

  “Remember, fellas, these will be my first times.” A Bill Ward cartoon from his later, more explicit period, from 1972’s Sex to Sexty #41.
