Agent Provocateur Illustrates Racy Comic Book

There once was a time when Agent Provocateur spent big bucks creating elaborate and dramatic short, interactive online films for their new lingerie lines. For example, they've done everything from a racy "Choose-Your-Own-Adventure with Peaches Geldof and Daisy Lowe to a classic Helena Christensen appearance as apirate.

Perhaps because this is still a recession, or maybe the mini-movie concept just got old, Agent Provocateur has this season turned to making a comic book: "New World Order: Mission To Earth." Rest assured that we didn't actually read through all the speech bubbles; the point is really only to look at the illustrations of barely-there underwear and bionic breasts and covet both. Comic bubbles are interspersed with ads for their lines, all given a superwoman-ish treatment.

The comic compliments current store window displays at Agent Provocateurs around the globe, and we're assuming that the stores are probably selling the comics, although if you're wearing Agent Provocateur, you'd probably not wish your partner to be distracted by comic book.
