Cimiteria N. 35: Quasimodo Incinto (Pregnant Quasimodo), published in August 1978

BERJAYAI have not followed superhero comics since the eighties, but recently on a Finnish comic book forum I happened to come across a thread complaining about how superheroines are always posing sexily for the male reader. I was reading Cimiteria at the time and realized that even though the series is partially porn, the heroine hardly ever poses for the "camera", which I found both ironic and satisfying: she's so fucking cool she doesn't need to! And in any case her adventures contain plenty of stuff that's definitely not designed for the male eye, the following "story" being a good example. But before we start, to avoid giggling, please repeat to yourself:

IT'S ONLY FUMETTI...
IT'S ONLY FUMETTI...
It's only fumetti...
it's only fumetti...

Ok, here goes. As you all remember, Cimiteria has a hunchback servant/lover called Quasimodo. After a visit to the Bermuda triangle and a subsequent rape by an alien from the planet of homosexuals, the poor little guy gets pregnant. Here are some snapshots from the family album:

Giving birth is a pain in the ass:

It's a boy:

Hey, that's not how you make breast milk:

The kid's name is Robby, by the way, and he can kill people with his gaze, but that's another story. Anyway, I bet those superhero comics look much more healthy and balanced by now ;-)

Until I found your blog, I was ignorant to an entire world of demented horror comics.

Thank you. You are doing the Lord's work!

Justin,
hey, Lord is my middle name! (Or actually last name, sort of, at least in Finnish. Kinda irrelevant to mention that, though, since I don't use my full name here, but I guess I'm prone to rambling. Aaand I probably should stop now.)

Anyway, thanks :-)

That doesn't even make sense!

Damn, I'd like to know what these writers were smoking :)

The idea of a man getting pregnant it's very common in the fumetti. (...well, we must say they explored systematically every oddity!)
I remember a cover with the same theme in Jacula and another one in "il vampiro"...

Thanks for the comments, folks :-)

Seven,
sorry about the delay, Groovy Age moderates all comments on posts older than 7 days, as we get a lot of spam. Anyway, while the male pregnancy thing is certainly not a unique idea, those other fumetti were pretty tame about it compared to this one, this is literally one ugly-ass story o_O
