About Crepax
"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. "The Complete Crepax will collect the entire life's work of the Italian comics master Guido Crepax (1933-2003) in English for the first time. While some of his work has appeared in English intermittently over the years, there was never an attempt to take a careful, contextual, comprehensive approach to its publication, and certainly not in a deluxe format. This series will correct that injustice. The Complete Crepax will be published in 10 generously sized volumes, each about 350 to 400 pages, each focused on a particular genre or aspect of Crepax's art."--Publishers website.
