I thought it was a pretty general term. Gives a whole new meaning to 'Lemony Snicket' :)
Anyhoo...
Re Cursed Earth Koburn - urmm... no. Just no. :)
I'm really not trying to start a Major Thing here, but the point i should have made is that most of the male characters usually have at least one feature that stops them being the kind of supermodel figures we usually see with the female characters. I'm hazarding a guess that it may be to do with the kind of gender roles you usually see in, shall we say, 'other male dominated media' - the underlying suggestion that the average man can get these kinda laydeez. There's also the issue of what can and can't be shown. I remember a Slaine story a few years back with him in his birthday suit, raising his mighty chopper (no, not that one) in a Full Frontal Attack - and he quite clearly had no genitals! I might be losing my timescale here, but it wasn't long before the 'sex' issue. What's going on there? Especially compared to stuff like Valkyries.
If someone wants to post a scan of the cover of 1013 here (i think!) that would be marvellous - as far as i'm concerned, it's well on par with Vienna's bum :)
