Publisher's Synopsis

This collection includes Crepax' classic erotic stories from 1968 to 1986, as well as The Man from Harlem; Crepax's ode to boxer Joe Louis and jazz. In other tales, photographer and film and tv star Valentina attempts to balance new relationships with lovers Bruno and Effi alongside the domestic life she shares with Phil. Her rich fantasy life goes Hollywood: Bonnie and Clyde make an appearance and there are several homages to the silent film era. The first is the wordless BDSM classic The Magic Lantern, and in the second she 'meets' one of her inspirations: actress Louise Brooks!

About the Publisher

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books has been a leading proponent of comics as a legitimate form of art and literature since it began publishing the critical trade magazine The Comics Journal in 1976. By the early 1980s, Fantagraphics found itself at the forefront of the burgeoning movement to establish comics as a medium as eloquent and expressive as the more established popular arts of film, literature, poetry, et al. Fantagraphics quickly established a reputation as an advocacy publisher that specialized in seeking out and publishing the kind of innovative work that traditional comics corporations who dealt almost exclusively in super-heroes and fantasy either didn?t know existed or wouldn?t touch: serious, dramatic, historical, journalistic, political, and satirical work by a new generation of alternative cartoonists as well as many artists who gained prominence as part of the seminal underground comix movement of the '60s. Fantagraphics has since gained an international reputation for its literate and audacious editorial standards and its exacting production values.
