* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Any woman coming from Earth to Neverwhere typically becomes this, buck naked and buxom and perfectly content to be that. For instance, Kath was from the Victorian Era, in poor health and wearing the usual heavy full dress of the period. Upon arriving in Neverwhere, she is turned into a naked physical ideal that strong and healthy. However, she was immediately captured by Queen Kil, but as soon as she is rescued by Den, also in the naked physical ideal, she can't wait to try out her body sexually and offers it to her saviour.

to:

* BarbarianHeroAmbiguouslyBrown: The real human before Den was black, but Den himself is colored in a brownish-something skin tone that sometimes makes him look Caucasian. Ultimately pointless given that he is of a fictitious race.
* BarbarianHero: The concept of "barbarian" is diffuse here, but Den is still a musclebound bruiser that wears less than the rest of the cast and goes around fighting supernatural beings and sleeping with women.


Added DiffLines:

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Den, although later in he adds boots. The opposite happens with the Queen, who wears boots at her introduction but goes barefoot since them.

''Den'' is a long running fantasy comic series by Creator/RichardCorben.

The series began with an original amateur animated short called ''Neverwhere'' where a white collar worker named Dan is whisked to a fantasy world of that name and became a naked muscleman having an adventure with a buxom naked sorceress.

The series continued as a comic strip in originally in ''Grim Wit'' #2 and was expanded upon in the French comic anthology, ''Metal Hurlant'' which was eventually translated in the American version, ''Heavy Metal''. Here, Dan's nephew, David Ellis Norman, found plans for a device that transported himself to Neverwhere and changed into a studly naked muscleman himself on his own adventures.

The series has continued in various incarnations, some of which toned down the eroticism of the series only to have it flare up again until it ended with the "Denz" series in the pornographic ''Penthouse Comix'' which featured yet another relative coming to that world.

Along the way, the first story arc of Den appeared in a condensed adaptation in the film ''WesternAnimation/HeavyMetal'' with Creator/JohnCandy as the title character.

Tropes exhibited:
* BarbarianHero
* ChickMagnet: Den finds that every human woman that came to that world throws herself at him.
* IChooseToStay: To quote our hero, "On Earth, I'm nobody, but here, I'm Den."
* LowCultureHighTech: Neverwhere is a primitive Sword and Sorcery planet where Queen Kil has occasionally supplied weapons through magic, ranging from primitive knives to fully loaded automatic firearms.
* MaleFrontalNudity: Den unconsciously found that he is perfectly comfortable being buck naked in Neverwhere.
* MrFanservice: Den and other male human becomes this upon arrival in Neverwhere, naked, muscled and hung, albeit bald.
** Possibly to FreudWasRight levels of symbolism; Den's huge, bulging shape, big, throbbing veins and large shiny bald head make him look phallic even when you can't see his enormous penis.
* MsFanservice: Any female human becomes this upon arrival, young naked and buxom with beautiful hair.
* NakedOnArrival: That's what happens when you're taken to Neverwhere, and you often find that you like staying that way.
* NationalGeographicNudity: Neverwhere has no nudity taboos.
* NormallyIWouldBeDeadNow
* RecycledInSpace: At least originally, this series is what Literature/JohnCarterOfMars would have been like in the 1970s, with its relaxed attitude to depicting sexuality.
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Any woman coming from Earth to Neverwhere typically becomes this, buck naked and buxom and perfectly content to be that.
* TrappedInAnotherWorld: And he finds he likes the place.
* VillainessesWantHeroes: Queen Kil does for Den and she gets to enjoy him in bed too.
* WorldOfBuxom: Nearly all the female characters, especially the women who were brought from Earth, make up this trope.
