Young Witches
Erotic comic series by Ricardo Barreiro and Francisco Solano López.

Degrading daliances in dungeons. " A lavishly illustrated European import that goes behind the scenes of a nineteenth century London feminist witches' coven." -Face London, in the last third of the 19th century. After bringing death to her mother in childbirth, and shame and suicide to her father due to her illegitimacy, young Lilian Cunnington is shipped off ther her aunts near Conventry. As it turns out, Lilian's aunts are the leaders of a coven of witches, whose twisted rituals frequently involve their nubile charges in grotesque exhibitions. 

Soon, Lilian, tapping into both her unsuspectedly powerful psychic abilities and her omnisexual potential, begins to uncover the darker secrets of the coven, and the resultant battle of wills ends in a climactic conflagration. 

Illustrated by the interationally renowned South American cartoonist F. SOLANO LOPEZ (creator of such acclaimed graphic novels as Deep City and Ana), Young Witches is a tale of magic and power, of sex and sadism, of witches and mutants - a supernatural thriller that will scare you and arouse you at the same time. As a special bonus, this expanded version of Young Witches includes extra pages of sizzling, explicit sex action created especially for this edition
