Albina and the Dog-Men by Alejandro Jodorowsky
3.0
One takeaway from this is that, as long as you call it literature (surrealist literature especially) you can be as lewd and pornographic as you like. So there's that. Like really weird moments of bees drinking sweet nectar from the gaping "mouth" between the albino giantess' legs. Ew. And yet I could totally visualize it as a Dali painting.
Once the story moves past the insatiable canine lust of the village men and the characters begin their epic journey through the desert it becomes a bit more cohesive. Still weird AF, but that's what you're signing up for. In the mountains we get hit with Incan mythology and, yes! That's the good stuff!
The return journey though is like trying to tell a story with a five year old who keeps interrupting: "and then the bad guys show up..and they have guns!....and then more bad guys and giant rabbits! And then explosions! And then a tornado blows them all away! and then......"
The cover though! Amiright? Gorgeous.
