Overview

These erotic comics stories, spanning 1974-1991, feature metropolitan settings like Valentina taking the subway - but what begins as an ordinary trip soon becomes a fantastical journey with familiar characters cameoing along the way. Then, in a giallo-inspired tale, fashion photographer Valentina's models keep turning up dead. Could she be the murderer? In 'Time Out' (1991), she's once again stalked by a Subterranean... but what is its mission? The rest of this collection introduces a new heroine, Anita, who lives (and dies) for TV! Every flip of the channel has a new genre for her (and Crepax) to insert herself in. And in 'Input Anita,' Crepax plays with the idea of bringing your work home with you. 'Data entry' has never been so sexy (and a little sinister too).

Guido Crepax was born in Milan, Italy, in 1933. After acquiring a degree in architecture, he worked on award-winning advertising campaigns for such corporations as Shell and Dunlop. He went on to become one of Italy's most important cartoonists, most famous for his psychedelic and erotic Valentina stories. Some of her exploits were adapted into a TV series and a film. He died in 2003. Writer and translator Micol Arianna Beltramini achieved success with the bestseller 101 Things to Do in Milan at Least Once in a Lifetime (Newton Compton 2008). After publishing two novels, she devoted herself to comics, editing a series for Edizioni BD, Psycho Pop, and editing and writing some of the stories that appear in Viva Valentina! (Edizioni BD 2016), the first collection of short stories about the character not written and drawn by Guido Crepax.
