GREAT CODPIECES IN HISTORY

-Sex Machine (Tom Savini)'s six-gun nut sheath in From Dusk 'Til Dawn (1996)



-The Droogs' (Malcolm McDowell and friends) ultra-violent athletic supporters in A Clockwork Orange (1972)



-Batman (George Clooney) and Robin (Chris O'Donnell)'s homoerotic meat baskets in Batman & Robin (1997)



-Feyd Rautha (Sting)'s fishy ball holster in Dune (1984)



-Judge Dredd (Sylvester Stallone)'s futuristic weiner shield from Judge Dredd (1995)



-Nadir (Fred Williamson)'s shiny, golden peepee package in The New Barbarians (1984)



-Or how 'bout that fruity little banana hammock Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull was so fond of sporting back in the 70's?



-Not to be outdone, Larry Blackmon from Cameo rocked a pretty sweet little plastic number in the late 80's and early 90's as well...



-Lord Humungus (Kjell Nilsson)'s studded leather cock pocket in The Road Warrior (1981)



-Terl (John Travolta)'s Dianetically-enhanced crotch goblin from Battlefield Earth (2000)



-Of course I've got to mention Mortiis' snappy little human skull number from the cover of The Stargate (1999)



-And last but not least, double points are awarded to Mr. Blackie Lawless from W.A.S.P., who blew minds not only with his spark-shooting, white leather man-purse...



... But also with the greatest codpiece of all, the circular-saw-blade codpiece.



EPIC.

I have never understood why the codpiece is such a omnipresent accessory in the world of comics. I know it's a "vital" organ, but how about some armor over the heart or lungs.

man - I helped build judge Dredd codpieces - as well as other props for the movie....

To think I thought I had a career in film FX back then....

Blackie wins though - especially as the firework one fucked up once and shot his ball hair off...

And Rygar = its so comic artists dont have to draw ball sacks or gruesome dick bulges.

Sadly as a porn graphic novelist -
I have to draw the whole caboodle. Still for every cock - I get draw a dozen minges. And at least I only draw my own ;o)

Wow, stargraves.
I'm equal parts impressed and creeped out. Nice.
