TALES FROM THE KRYPTONIAN

As attentive visitors may have noticed CROSSGEN WEEK has been delayed and the reason is that Yesterday was Saint Jordi which apparently is a holiday around these parts which means that the help didn't come and we went out to eat at a chinese restaurant so instead of writing this post I went over the last of my old bookmarks. So this was supposed to go up Yesterday but now we are finally going to dive headfirst into SOJOURN which has often been compared to J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord Of The Rings.

Now while I personally think the story is more akin to The Silmarillion I can understand why most people mention The Lord Of The Rings since that is the book - or better trilogy of books - everybody knows especially after the wonderful adaptions by Peter Jackson. If they do another work by John Ronald Reuel Tolkien it's probably The Hobbit which some people view as inferior since it was written as a children's book and most people aren't even aware that there have been previous adaptions of Tolkien's work be it in live action or animated from. And don't get me started on the few translations into comicbooks before the Peter Jackson movies.

That said I can live with the comparison with The Lord Of The Rings as that is mental shorthand what you want to transmit to potential readers and that is always better with a concept they are already familiar with.

And it has a lot of elements that you can find in The Lord Of The Rings like an evil entity with magic powers trying to take over the world, lots of fugly orcs ( I wouldn't be surprised if the artists who designed the orcs for the movies took some inspiration from Greg Land's artwork ), plucky freedom fighters who band together more by happenstance and necessity than by design to oppose the forces of evil, an honest to jove freakin dragon and of course a very capable bow slinger although in this case we have a female archer who is the main character of the series.

Like was a staple of CrossGen Comics they put the women front and center and let's be honest, a big part of the selling point of SOJOURN is Greg Land's masterful depiction of the female form. Like I've mentioned before one big reason why CrossGen Comics became so successful so fast was that a lot of artists did their best work there and many had leaps in quality like Greg Land who was already known as a babe artist on books like BIRDS OF PREY ( where has was followed by Jackson Guice and one day I will have to write a post about that ) but it was here n SOJOURN where he went from that artist who draws women really well to the Greg Land we all know and love who uses pictures of supermodels as a reference for his artwork. And whether you like it or not it all started here so that is not as out of hands as it would become in later years.

But that also posed a dilemma because naturally I wanted to showcase Greg Land's beautiful women but on the other side I always try to include as much original art in my BLACK AND WHITE showcases and as you may have deducted by now these two fields don't overlap a lot on this book.

So my options were either include all of the original artwork I could find even if that meant that the pages would be from different issues with huge gaps and I would have to leave out a lot of pages that show why SOJOURN was so popular especially with adolescent boys who were not old enough to buy adult magazines. The other option was to include the best of the breast Greg Land has to offer in this series and leave a lot of the original artwork for later posts. Now guess which option I went for.

Kari is best know for her role of Maggie Beckett on sci fi cult show Sliders. She was put on the cast as the boner guarantee for the male audience and they got more than their money´s worth in the Wild West episode where she´s almost spilling out of her snug saloon girl corsage.

When I cast Kari Wuhrer as Gypsy in my Casting the JLA movie series Gypsy hadn´t appeared on The Flash. So when I chose Kari for that role Gypsy´s super powers did not include vibing between dimensions but when people read it now they might get the impression that I chose Kari because of the tv show where she was sliding between the dimensions.

Kari Wuhrer also did some voice acting as Black Canary in Justice League : Crisis On Two Earths, Silver Banshee in Batman Unlimited : Monster Mayhem, Vixen in the tv series and Vixen : The Movie and last but not least Barbara Gordon and Pamela Isley in Batman : Gotham By Gaslight.

Other comicbook related work includes Mike Allred's MADMAN spin - off movie G - Men From Hell and the voice of Maria Hill in The Avengers : Earths Mightiest Heroes ( which is still THE best adaption of the comic books ), Marvel Heroes, The Marvel Experience and Disney Infinity 3.0.

Kari also was in Hot Blooded, a really bad movie that doesn`t even have full frontal nudity. Nevertheless it´s one of my favorite movies with Kari because she looks really hot in this one. You get to see a lot of cleavage and boobs and in the first sex scene on the bed you can see her sexy ass.

And because one scene where she´s at a gas station and pulls down her leather top to make the desk clerk horny. She´s really pulling it in all directions so you get to see her full boobs. I have no evidence but I swear I can see some nipple. I bet Kari had to do this scene a hundred times as the crew was sabotaging all takes just to see her boobs again.

In any case, I had this on a video tape on a loop and I must have heard the words " This material just does not breathe ! " a hundred times.

Like I said there is no full frontal nudity in this cineastic masterpiece but you get a bit of sideboob in a scene that was heavily cut on german tv.

They cut parts from when she´s using a whip to get into the mood and pours hot wax on his body. They also cut some parts from where she´s on top of him which I didn´t know until I found the movie on the internet.

Damn you, germans for keeping Kari Wuhrer´s sideboob away from me !

Shooting this scene took a whole week because Kari´s on screen partner Kristoffer Ryan Winters got a huge erection every time the blow up sex doll rubbed her naked breasts all over him ( especially when her nipples were hardening ) and climaxed a few times before the end of the scene.

The lucky stiff ( in every sense of the word ) was so smitten with Kari that he agreed to not getting paid during the filming of the scene and slipped director David Blyth some cash so he wouldn´t stop shooting.

Day after day they would try to capture the scene - at least Kari did since Kristoffer was only interested in getting a full chest massage with Kari Wuhrer's awesome tits - and while Kari tried to be a professional and do her part Kristoffer squirted more and more as Kari desperately slutted it up more with each take in the hopes of finally getting it done.

In the end Kari found out what was happening and almost fucked him into a coma during a weekend long non - stop marathon sex orgy where she made him squirt his load so many times that he couldn´t get it up.

The next day they resumed shooting the scene they luckily nailed it ( no pun intended ) with the third take because by the fourth Kari´s perky porn puppies had gotten Kristoffer hard enough to cut a diamond again.

Which he more than proved when he dropped in unannounced in Kari's trailer afterwards and slam - banged the living daylights out of her six ways to Sunday. Now the good news was that Kari managed to shoot the scene by almost fucking him into a coma. And the bad news was that Kari only managed to shoot the scene by almost fucking him into a coma.

Because after spending a week of tricking Kari into rubbing her naked body - and especially her perfectly perky sweater puppies - all over his body combined by experiencing what Kari really can do in the bedroom when she lost all inhibitions and released her inner nympho Kristoffer had gotten a real liking to using Kari as his personal blow up sex doll.

So if she wanted to finish the picture ultimate men milking machine Kari Wuhrer had to indulge his sexual cravings and when she was not lying on her back spreading her legs wider than a seasoned phillipino hooker after the shooting she was busy deepthroating his gigantic manhood or even giving him a double breasted deepthroat dick massage between takes.

While the sexual favours she had to grant him during the day stayed on a relatively even level the nightly sex - athlon olympics quickly escalated and his urges became more and more perverted. To make things worse Kristoffer started using performance enhancing drugs so he could stay erect all night much to Kari's chagrin who had to suffer his sexual assault helplessly while he relentlessly pounded her porn body into submission.

Coming back to Sliders I may be going out on a limb but I think I am one of the few who thinks the show got better when Kari Wuhrer joined the ensemble. Which is in part because she's one of my all time tv / movie crushes but on the other hand there are a lot of problems with the first seasons nobody mentions. You have people go on how great the first seasons without Kari were but for me there were a lot of things that never made sense to me. Like them always standing around and giving longwinded speeches after opening the slide portal to the next world.

Aren't these things open for only a short time ? But instead of jumping in as fast as they can they stand around, go shopping or read a newspaper.

Then also did anyone notice that they always said that they could not get involved and change things but in the end they always did it ? The worst at this was Wade and she was a character I hated because she was so annoying with her hippie mentality. So when they got rid of that flat chested drama queen after the introduction of Kari Wuhrer I wasn't sad.

They tried to turn it into a show with two wild guys and two sexbombs but let's be real here Sabrina Lloyd just wasn't in Kari Wuhrer's league.

So this is not the first time I brought up Sliders or Kari Wuhrer - as my longtime followers can attest - but something that completely slipped my mind until I came across an episode is that four years before Jerry O'Connell played teen prodigy Quinn Mallory on Sliders he wrapped up the show My Secret Identity ( Ultraman, My Secret Me in the german version ) where he played a teenager who suddenly gets super powers.
