This Silver volume erotic fiction was not what I was expecting. Definitely a hot read, spicy, with characters of varying ages (mainly older), different body sizes and in the queer community, and different settings. There was one story I just did not understand, but the rest were good reads. Might check out the other volumes.

Smut Peddler remains undefeated for go-to great erotic comics of quality storytelling and beautiful diversity of perspectives. This anthology, in particular, featured older (over 40) characters, which reading it on my 39th birthday seemed perhaps a little pointed.

My favorite stories:

"Romancing the Reverand" by Kinomatike and Saint Circus
"The Chore" by T. Zysk
"A Pinch of Rosemary" by Lyndsay McSeveney
"Mandatory Overtime" by Nero O'Reilly
"Behold Her" by Harriet Moulton
"William Wilson and the Man on a Mission" by E.K. Weaver
"Wet Dog" by Hien Pham

I do wish that these stories featured more explicitly disabled characters. But otherwise, I found myself so happy with the mix of body types, sexualities, and genders and greatly delighted in the many trans characters. Iron Circus remains one of the best and most interesting comic book press out there.

This is basically a Smut Peddler collection, which means you get all sorts of sex. Men on men. Women on women. Women on Men. You get the idea. And this theme is older couples.

So, if you like sexy times with older people, this is where to go. Always lots of fun, if not good clean stories, then dirty good stories.

Collection of some truly great short stories. The first one I was impressed to see someone older getting busy and was so happy that happened. I read the next one and then thought how daft I was to not pick up on the "Silver" title. All in all it was a brilliant and a hot collection showcasing that age can't stop the lovely physical connections you can have with another, if one is so inclined.

Yes, this an adult only comic. Let's start there. I picked this up because the cover is gorgeous and I have never seen a smut book focused on older people before.

The collection is full of short and sweet - it's very graphic, so don't read it in front of other people. The stories inside vary in length and style, but the overall feeling of them was wonderful. It was shelved on the queer shelf of my local comic book store so I knew to expect something nice inside, but I was positively surprised to see overwhelming majority of the stories explored some kind of queer relationship, and especially impressed about the sheer amount of positive trans representation! The only warning I'd give besides the obvious graphic sex scenes is that one story does touch on the subjects of queerness and religion and feelings of self hatred due to said religion.

Well, I can officially say this is the first smut book I have gone around recommending to my irl friends, so I was obviously highly impressed by the collection as whole.
