For the Love of Esmerelda

For the Love of Esmeralda extends the cultural cachet of Victor Hugo's Notre Dame de Paris into a hitherto unthinkable realm: the XXX-rated graphic novel. Artist Phoenix takes the reader far from previous versions of this tale, showing scintillating new sides of Hugo's beloved characters. Using a visual style that is equal parts realism and artful exaggeration, Phoenix portrays Esmeralda as a sexual libertine who finds her greatest pleasure in Quasimodo's other remarkable feature.
