Haupeur

An Adult black & white graphic novel in the spy/action-adventure genre.

Story: CIA agent Douglas Pott is captured by Burmese agents in Rangoon, and held in a camp by a communist warlord, Colonel Wei. A named Don King is sent over to retrieve Pott.

Pott enjoys an evening in a bar in Rangoon, a bar with many barely clothed women. While Pott waits to catch a glimpse of the new "Chinese girl," he fondles two barely clothed women. Immediately upon laying eyes on her, Pott disengages himself, and hurries over to the new girl, who states that her name is Lulu. They hook up, leave the bar and enter a taxi. Lulu is quickly nude, and plays with Pott while the taxi takes them to their destination. The destination? A communist camp, where Pott is captured, and Lulu reveals that she lured him there. At the camp, Lulu teases Pott with a striptease show and an orgy, and told that he will never again enjoy such activities.

The scene next shifts to Don King, on the run from mafia hit men in London. While running along, presumably away from some hit men, Don runs across a woman being raped, and saves her. While the woman tries to show her gratitude to Don, a bunch of gunmen run up and grab Don. From the men that capture Don, we learn that the hit men are after Don, because the mafia is worried that he will decline to take over after his grandfather dies. The mysterious gunmen hire Don King to retrieve Pott for a fee of $50,000. Don King flies to Rangoon, and meets up with a woman from the American Embassy, a certain Fay Harding. And the end of chapter 1.

After Don and Fay separate, Don hooks up with a "professional" hooker, and Fay is arrested by the "police." Fay is attacked, raped, generally abused, and eventually threatened by unwanted touching from two lepers. Fearing for her future life after such an encounter, Fay leaps out of a window, and that's the end of her. "The boss ... told us just to scare her!"

Meanwhile, Don has fun with one prostitute and then meets up with Lulu. While they have some fun, Lulu tries to figure out why the American is in Rangoon ("antiques?"). After almost being killed after he leaves Lulu's building, Don returns and beats the next contact out of her. The contact leads Don to Madame Mumu, who will help him . . . (and the story continues, don't want to give everything away).

Overall, the book was more violent than I expected, though it was an interesting story. The artwork was good, nothing appeared to be censored, and was only somewhat hindered from being a black & white book. While the book was enjoyable enough, after reading this book, I wasn't inspired to seek out more books by this author. Book includes: action/adventure, public nudity, bondage, sex, and death.… (plus d'informations)
