Then John Howard does a smash bang job in “Leather Whore” of visualizing Andrea Dworkin’s writing on porn. Jason “Fukitor” Karns draws an expectedly nasty, surprisingly undersexed, corndog-fixated shortie called “Carnie Tramp” and the curtains close on a gallery of Tom Crites’ pinups for the demonically possessed. Nicely arranged and surely deranged, bang for yr buck, hun. -EF
