Patrick Fillion (born 1973) [1] is a Canadian illustrator and writer of comic books with erotic gay characters and themes.

Contents

Born in Quebec, Fillion drew comic book art and nudes from an early age, but when he moved to Vancouver in 1991 and became part of the gay community, his work went from mild to more explicit erotica. Over time, his style evolved to include more and more risqué subject matter that he developed into a line of self-published comics under the name Class Enterprises. [2]

In 2004, Fillion and his partner Fraz created their own publishing company, Class Comics, through which they release a wider range gay-themed erotic comics.

The exposure of Fillion's characters in Montreal's Zip magazine led to a deal with "mega distributor" Bruno Gmünder, who has released art books featuring Fillion's work entitled Heroes, Mighty Males and Hot Chocolate. [3] The Class Comics titles are translated into German by Gmünder, and into French by France-based publisher H&O Editions.

Fillion also continues to produce illustrations for several gay-themed publications, and has created artwork for numerous events and organizations.

Fillion's series characters are primarily young, muscled males with improbably large penises. Ethnically diverse, they find themselves in a plethora of dangerous and sexual situations, often involving equally sexualized aliens and supervillains. First appearing in Magma Forces #5 (1986), Camili-Cat is the last of an alien humanoid species that is part feline. "Cam's homeworld was destroyed when he was just a child. Now he roams the galaxy in the hopes of someday finding other survivors of his species." [4] Naked Justice is a well-endowed superhero whose costume consists of only boots, long gloves and a mask. He first appeared in 2000's Ecstasy #1, and has appeared in two issues of his own series scripted by former Canadian Male magazine Editor-in-Chief Donald MacLean. [5] Other characters include Deimos, a fallen Angel seeking absolution for his sins, [6] and Ghostboy, who has the ability to dematerialize his molecules to phase through solid objects or become invisible.
