Fatal Beauty - The Boada Sketchbook (2000 - SQP (Sal Quartuccio Publications)) 
A 64-page collection of black-&-white pieces, with paintings on the front & back covers. 55 of the pages each feature a large reproduction of a piece, with another eight carrying four smaller images each. The one text page contains a short overview of the artist's career. None of the works are captioned. A little more than a third of the works have a finished look to them, with the rest being instead tight pencil pieces. The art is pulled into chapters headed: Pulp Friction, Passion's Embrace, Best Of The Wild West, Spy-Tech, The Fear is Near, Epic and Fantasy. With those titles, the subjects should be easily guessed at, but I can confirm the presence of barbarian girls, moldering castles & plantations, saloon girls, werewolves, scuba girls, zombies, jungle girls, vampires and nude girls. One or two of the images took 'throes of ecstasy' almost into the realm of suggested adult themes, but managed to stay just on this side of general acceptability.
