Found this piece Osamu Tezuka drew and something tells me he had some professional jealousy towards the Ultraman series.

“No erections, no penetration, and no fellatio” - a special look at the Playboy Channel from the July 1983 issue of Heavy Metal
BOOB TUBE No erections, no penetration, and no fellatio-those are the three commandments of soft-core sex on pay-cable's Playboy Channel. Clean sex (no leather) and satirical fun (no rating closer to T than R or X-T for tits. What an invitation to find the Channel. But "It started as a men's channel, like the magazine, but I can't leave it that way." declared Paul Klein, President of the Playboy Chan-nel. Klein lives in an office nearly hidden by piles of only iwo types of paper-research and scripts. Playboy viewing experience is as follows," says Klein on a roll. "Fifty percent of the viewing is done on Friday and Saturday nights, and a lot of it is done with guests -Come on over and see the Playboy Channel. Another forty-percent is done on an LOP basis." LOP is Kleinspeak, a language the caustic maverick created during the 70's when he ran through posi-fions as NBC programming head, contributing editor to New York Magazine, and founder of one of the first pay-cable services, Com-puter-TV. LOP means "least objectionable program-ming." or that which you settle on after flipping around the dial ("zapping") and de ciding there's nothing worth watching, but you still want to "watch TV." "Viewers always look at Playboy when theyre zap ping because you stop when you see skin... but if we don't develop female appeal programs, the wom an's going to want to get rid of the Channel, because the man's going to choose it every time." In the search for couple-appeal shows, Klein has wisely jettisoned most of the "with tits" programming that dominated the channel at the time of Playboys official takeover in January. Under its former name, Es-capade, the channel concentrated on everything network TV had-game shows, talk shows, variety shows-but all "with tits." The changeover to Playboy has moved the channel into the realm of sensual erotica that the magazine estab-lished. Altogether, it's the most definable alternative to network TV since uncut blockbuster movies and MIV. Most c…

Was bopping my head from frame one. Besson’s Breathless by way of Diva. The looks in this have inspired a thousand anime. So cool, so beautiful.

Don't forget—there was a series of YA FRIDAY THE 13TH books back in the '90s. Now long OOP (digitizations exist), but they're very fun and worth reading. Also: quite gruesome.
‘Camp Crystal Lake’ – Unmasking the ‘Friday the 13th’ YA Horror Novels
After sending Jason Voorhees to Hell, and before launching him into space, the Friday the 13th franchise delivered a set of fresh and exciting stories. Of course, these other tales of the slasher icon...

Maraya (1998) key illustration by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko.
Maraya (1998): Dramatic Japanese promotional illustration featuring a fierce female warrior with wild black hair tied back by a jeweled headband, intense expression, and one eye shadowed. She stands in a defiant pose wearing a revealing black leather-like bodysuit with crisscross straps, arm guards, and thigh-high boots, gripping a large curved sword in one hand and a futuristic handgun in the other. Surrounding her are massive mechanical chains, dripping pipes, industrial machinery, and jagged metallic structures in a dark orange and brown dystopian environment with dripping fluids and ominous shadows. Vertical Japanese text overlays the scene describing themes of taboo, betrayal, exile, and forbidden rebellion in a fortress called "Darul Hart" or similar.

Take a minute to appreciate how deep the bench of talent was in the cast of the INDIAN SUMMER (1993).
