To speak of Dukes Hardcore Honeys Comics Hot is to speak not of a single graphic novel, but of a sensory experience—a specific frequency of American lowbrow art. The title itself is a four-chord progression of masculine id: (fists up, rural aggression, The Dukes of Hazzard ’s Southern rebellion), Hardcore (uncompromising, explicit, punk rock’s nihilism), Honeys (the retro, pin-up objectification of female beauty), and Hot (the temperature of desire, of fresh ink, of burning rubber). When combined with Comics , we enter a world where the panel grid becomes a cage match between the carnal and the cartoonish.
