Penthouse Men's Adventure Comix #1, "Generaton Sex": Mark Texeira

Having wrapped up the reposts from Penthouse Comix #6 (March/April 1995) last week, I'm switching over to the companion title Penthouse Men's Adventure Comix #1 (April/May 1995). From that premiere issue, "Generation Sex"; story by George Caragonne & Tom Thornton, art by Mark Texeira. (Texeira is also a guest at DragonCon this weekend, so there's that timely tie-in as well...)

Having finished the August/Sept. 1995 issue of Penthouse Men's Adventure Comix last week, this week I'm shifting over to the chronological next issue of the main title Penthouse Comix: Issue #9, the Sept./Oct. 1995 issue. This issue starts with a gallery of pin-ups under the collective title "Damsels in Danger." We'll start with this offering from Mark Texeira...

Next, an illustration from Jean "Moebius" Giraud (this image was also featured in Moebius' graphic novel Angel Claw):

Then, a painting from Blas Gallego intended as a preview for the proposed Penthouse Comix feature "Pendragon" (a feature that never materialized due to the untimely death of writer/editor George Caragonne).

And finally (for this week's installment), a pin-up by Dave Johnson featuring Iris Dewey, attorney to the various super-villains of the Penthouse Comix universe.
