Synopsis: Voluptas, nymph and goddess’ daughter, gets bored and starts to explore the Earth. She challenges all best men of Greece and wins them all, even in wrestling.
Comment: This short piece of art has tiny but almost brilliantly working story of Herb Arnold. In B&W artwork Corben consentrates on naked bodies and does it very good. Hot Stuf’ does not have a magazine wide fantasy novel as is in Hot Stuf’ #3 and #5.
