 Alabuster's art is new to this blog, his approach is refreshingly direct and simple in style.

Most artists leave the question of 'what does a tentacle creature look like' unanswered, Alabaster gives us a surprising solution, they just come out of the ground. I suppose anything is possible in an age of rampant pollution and destruction of the natural environment! 

In fact I recall a storyline I wanted to work on where the Security Guards patrolling just outside a biochemical plant were attacked in precisely this manner and not only used sexually but absorbed into the life system of the creature that had ensnared them. Effectively they ended up as throbbing (of course) bio-science hybrid 'machines', perpetually in sexual mode.

The intervention of a buddy in this tentacle attack is a relatively unusual feature too. His rescue attempt falls foul of the creature's 'other half' emerging just behind him. It's classic horror stuff (and pantomime too!), but the denouement of being forced into stuffing his best mate is a twist I haven't seen before. 

Showing the restraint tentacles being pulled taut by the captive's resistance is another welcome departure from the norm in this genre, which often shows victims being juggled with in thin air. That touch of realism adds a nice edge.
