Sexy vamps! Mad doctors! Sadistic perverts! She-werewolves on heat!
Crazed monsters! No, we are not on a horror movie set... we are in the
golden age of "Dirty Comix": a lurid world where sex, gore'n'violence
run riot!
We are back in the '70's, a turbulent time for an Italy that is
desperately seeking its place in the modern world.
Social struggle, riots in the streets, strikes, political scandals and
terrorism are the order of the day... these comix too, dubbed "sexy"
in the late '60's, change gear drastically becoming more explicit and
hard-core.
Cartoonists stop signing their work and publishers are continually in
court fighting a furious battle against bigoted moralism.
If censorship is a problem, sales are definitely not: a host of new
titles are released and lapped up by an insatiable public.
ZORA LA VAMPIRA, WALLESTEIN, ULULA and CIMITERIA are of particular
note for their intriguing characters and interesting plots. To create
the covers of this titles only the best illustrators are used. Artists
trained at the demanding school of Cinecitta', internationally famous
for its realism and movie poster style.
For the first time ever "classical" style marries outrage and scandal.
The result is an explosive union wichever way you look at it!
Biffignandi, D'Angelico, Tacconi, Festino are the names of the artists
hiding behind these covers: talented painters using techniques that
never fail to amaze.
I put on sale 38 little "treasures" (gouache on board cm. 26,5 x 36,5
approx.), rare originals and unique documents of an unrepeatable
historical moment. Take my word for it:
DON'T LET THIS CHANCE PASS YOU BY!
