The Glorious Fur Bikini Wearing, Dragon Riding, Blaster Wielding Women of Femme Fatales



In 1996, the greatest set of collectible cards ever made was unleashed upon an unsuspecting world. They were called Femme Fatales and were one of the last sets of cards released by FPG before they folded. This collection put together the finest fantasy artists alive into one bonerrific pack of cards you could hide in your sock drawer.
The cards weren’t themed by genre, just hotness. As a result, within each pack you could find a staggering array of scenes such as babe with sword, babe with dragon, sci-fi babe, evil magician babe, angel babe, monster babe and even one modern guerrilla fighter babe.
Words cannot express how fond I am of these images. If scantily clad women riding dragons was the trick to selling more fantasy novels and Dungeons and Dragons handbooks, it worked –at least on me. I would not be surprised if every book I owned in middle school had cover art by the artists that appear in this series. The one exception would be Lord of the Rings, which I don’t think ever got a hobbit cleavage cover.
Now I want you to sit back, relax and return to a simpler time when women went into battle wearing loincloths and metal pasties. Make sure to read the titles, they are almost as good as the images themselves.
