Complete Crepax : Erotic Stories, Part I

"Italian cartoonist Guido Crepax's comics, saturated with surrealism and sophistication, infused fashion, fine art, sex, history, and the French New Wave into the mid-20th century adventure serial--and legitimized the erotic genre in Europe. Inspired by 1920s film icon Louise Brooks, his signature character Valentina is a fierce femme fatale and glamorous, globetrotting photographer. Her passion for BDSM flourishes in the anything-goes 1960s and '70s--and her sensual exploits often occur on the border between dreaming and waking life."--Cover, page 4.
