A collection of Michael Manning erotic art books, in like new condition.

Description: An incredible collection of eight original Michael Manning erotic art books/graphic novels, in like new condition. His work has been described as "Stunningly original and creative," "Manning's specialty is bondage, and he renders his subjects in a unique style that owes much to the lyrical and elegant simplicity of Japanese prints and Art Nouveau. For all the grace of line he shows, Manning's work is not simple, either in execution, setting, or apprehension. The scenes he depicts are complicated, the rendering simple but lush, and the emotions they arouse are deeply affecting. Elegant pen-and-ink drawings capture the imagination immediately, and invite the viewer into a world as disturbing as it is beautiful. I felt everything from startled recognition to unsettling arousal. This is art that makes no apologies, needs no explanation, and cannot really be described. It has become the worst of clichés to laud an artist by saying that their work really needs to be experienced, but in this case it is true. Forgive the cliché, for Manning's work is wholly original and deeply felt. The tableaus he creates stay with you, right under the skin. For those who dare his vision, it is a rewarding journey." "The books by Michael Manning...the ART...is stunning and beautiful...each picture is a story in and of itself and they pull you in...capturing your imagination and, for a moment, alter your reality. This review isn't just for Lumenagerie, but for all of Manning's books. The simply black and white drawings leave the viewer/reader wanting more...and I truly hope Michael Manning will be producing more books in the future...they are simply amazing. Titles include: Inamorata, Cathexis, Lumenagerie, In a Metal Web II, Tranceptor 1 and Tranceptor 2, The Spider Garden, and Hydrophidian. It is extremely rare to find a collection that is as complete as this one, and even rarer to find them in such pristine, like new condition.
