Den (Comic Book) | comment |
Den is a long running fantasy comic series by Richard Corben, that is essentially John Carter of Mars written with a 1970s sensibility.The series began with an original amateur animated short called Neverwhere where a white collar worker named Dan is whisked to a fantasy world of that name and became a naked muscleman having an adventure with a buxom naked sorceress.The series continued as a comic strip in originally in Grim Wit #2 and was expanded upon in the French comic anthology, Metal Hurlant which was eventually translated in the American version, Heavy Metal. Here, Dan's nephew, David Ellis Norman, found plans for a device that transported himself to Neverwhere and changed into a studly naked muscleman himself on his own adventures.The series has continued in various incarnations, some of which toned down the eroticism of the series only to have it flare up again until it ended with the "Denz" series in the pornographic Penthouse Comix which featured yet another relative coming to that world.Along the way, the first story arc of Den appeared in a condensed Pragmatic Adaptation in the animated film Heavy Metal with John Candy voicing the title character.Not to be confused with Neverwhere the novel by Neil Gaiman. | |

Ambiguously Brown: The real human before Den was black, but Den himself is colored in a brownish-something skin tone that sometimes makes him look Caucasian. Ultimately pointless given that he is of a fictitious race. | |

God Save Us from the Queen!: Queen Kil, although originally a Damsel in Distress in the original film, becomes this in the early comics as a ruthless tyrant perfectly willing to engage in human sacrifice and organized mass rape to achieve her goals. | |

Shameless Fanservice Girl | |
Den (Comic Book) / int_6563aeb6 | comment |
Shameless Fanservice Girl: Any woman coming from Earth to Neverwhere typically becomes this, buck naked and buxom and perfectly content to be that. For instance, Kath was from the Victorian Era, in poor health and wearing the usual heavy full dress of the period. Upon arriving in Neverwhere, she is turned into a naked physical ideal who is strong and healthy. However, she was immediately captured by Queen Kil, but as soon as she is rescued by Den, also in the naked physical ideal, she can't wait to try out her body sexually and offers it to her saviour. | |

Derailing Love Interests: Later chapters turn Kath into an Obstructive Love Interest, dissatisfied with life in Neverwhere, insisting that she and Den be fully clothed, and that they both leave and return to Earth. Den agrees to her demands, then returns to Neverwhere without Kath. A woman named Muuta offers herself to him as his On the Rebound and much more. Then Muuta gets Swallowed Whole by a Face Full of Alien Wing-Wong during a rampage of a Horde of Alien Locusts, and Den is rescued by Kil impersonating Kath. When the real Kath later returns to Neverwhere, Den becomes conflicted whether to be with her or Kil. | |

National Geographic Nudity: Neverwhere has no nudity taboos. For instance in the first book, Den and Kath, who are buck naked, meet Kang, a warrior who is largely fully clothed with armor and a hooded cape and he never gives any comments about them. In the second book, Kath insisting that she and Den go around everywhere fully clothed is treated as unusual. | |
