Last month, I posted a blog entry entitled, “If You’re A Blaxploitation Fan, Then You Oughtta Know: Afrodisiac.”  I ended the post with the statement, “The Afrodisiac tales definitely need to be compiled into a single edition.  It would be essential reading for any fan of Blaxploitation or comic book storytelling, in general.”

Well, ask and ye shall receive, because Adhouse Books will be releasing a 96-page, full color Afrodisiac graphic novel in December!  It looks like it will be a combination of his previous appearances AND new material by Rugg and Maruca.  Check out a preview of the book here.

Don’t take any chances that Santa’s gonna leave this prize under the tree, baby!  (He’s let you down before.  Remember that puppy you wanted?  The Atari 2600?  Exactly.)  Go to your local comic book retailer or visit Adhouse’s site to pre-order yours today.

P.S.  Also, since I’m in a particularly link-y mood, make sure to visit WORLD OF HURT on Facebook.

*Reference to a line from Kickin’ Afrolistics, the only album by the short-lived rap group, The Afros.  Anybody but me remember that?  If I hadn’t found this link, I thought I might have imagined that the group existed at all or, at the most, was just a skit from a Digital Underground album.  Let me stop now before I date myself even more.
