CREPAX VALENTINA IN GIALLO

Valentina In Giallo (In Yellow) is the fifth of nine books collecting the comic strip adventures of Valentina Rosselli. Valentina Rosselli, whose appearance is inspired by silent film actress Louise Brooks was a Milanese photojournalist. Her boyfriend, Philip Rembrandt, the super-hero Neutron, had the ability to paralyze people, animals, or machines he has seen in the flesh or pictures. Later a child was born to Philip and Valentina named Mattia. The character Valentina was born on December 25, 1942, in Milan and grew older during the series, the last episode of which was published in 1995. Valentina became increasingly an erotic comic book. As time passed in Valentina's stories Crepax abandoned the fantasy-science fiction or detective themes of the beginning and instead introduced a complex, weird mix of erotism, hallucinations, and dreams. The strips also dealt with bisexuality autoerotic ecstasy, super-sensual abandon, and sadomasochism. Text in Italian. Adult Material. Condition: Fine Minus. Spine split bottom back cover.
