The Extremely Erotic Art of… Ian Hanks
(3 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5)I happened upon this story from Ian Hanks‘ erotic comic collection of vignettes set in ancient Greece – Aegean Tales. In some ways, his work is more in sync with classical European comics artists than American ones which makes sense as this mysterious artist says only that he “was born in 1974, grew up in a rural area and is living in the Netherlands.”

It’s so hot I had to buy one myself despite the lack of an affiliate program. Here is the teaser I found at a REALLY COOL blog (Warriors of Fantasy) Their source was GToons (ALSO COOL!).

His work (like that of fellow Handjobs Magazine alum Josman) focuses on archetypal daddy/twink pairings, but even if that isn’t your thing, the lavish illustrations, classical settings and wanton scenarios found within Aegean Tales are worth the $20 cover price for 77 pages and six smoking hot stories available online as PDF from HJ Magazine.
Here are a few more images from stories in Aegean Tales… The Appetizer and Bacchanal Boys.

Hanks’ Aegean Tales characters have a variety of body types ranging from hairless twinks to meatier men. Plots of his stories are about as deep as the usual porn scenario but fleshed out with an ancient Greek twist, slave boys, scholars, mentors, and of course horny pillaging warriors. Ian Hanks’ realistic depiction of the male human body is somewhat unusual in gay erotic comics. His men, whether younger or older, don’t look like mainstream over-muscled porn models, but rather like real albeit VERY attractive guys with impressive, but not impossible endowments. As with many gay erotic comic artists, there isn’t much of his work in print. He has been published in Stripped: The Illustrated Male from Bruno Gmunder and his online collection Aegean Tales from Handjobs Magazine.

I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this guy. His artwork is beautiful Orgies and uncut guys! This is like a dream come true.

Yeah – I am a tough critic and I was so impressed I rushed this post out. I remember seeing his name mentioned when iw as researching my first Josman post, but hadn’t seen any samples until I saw the post at Warriors of Fantasy.com

Thanks for turning me onto this. I love history (studied it in college), hot guys (I’m superficial), ancient Greece (I love Age of Bronze by Eric Shanower) and uncut cocks (I love strippers from Montreal).

Thanks for posting this, his art is amazing and very sexy. I like the art and use of ancient times in the art that he creates. Very nice.
