Last year the Nerdcore Calendar was all about 80s video games. This year the calendar taps the aesthetic of comic books. But don't worry you still have an excuse to buy one if you're a gamer. They've made sure to include dozens of important gaming dates in there, like the day of Atari's incorporation. See the work safe samples below, or the NSFW on our sister site, Fleshbot.
In the great lineage of comic books, no one has explored heroes and villains quite like Nerdcore™. In this 12-month, 2008 calendar, heroines and their evil counterparts square off in quite revealing ways — a fully nude firestarter igniting her surroundings,
a "super" lass undresses after a hard day's night of battling bad guys, and a katana-wielding vixen, wearing a headband and not much else, shows a few ninjas who's the real boss is. These are the powered-up ladies that watch over the city from downtown rooftops and can turn invisible with the snap of a finger. They are the heroes and villains of the 2008 Nerdcore™ calendar.
