Sex and Horror: The Art of Alessandro Biffignandi

Between the late 1960s and the early '80s Italy went crazy for the "fumetti sexy?, a home-grown genre of exotic comics with a unique brand of twisted humour, violence, and up-front sensuality. Wilder and weirder than you can imagine, they were some of the most outrageous and shocking comics ever produced ? and their highly erotic covers were seen on every news stand and kiosk across the country. One of the most accomplished and prolific fumetti cover artists was Alessandro Biffignandi, whose artworks often featured horror, fantasy and sci-fi elements. This book collects some of the sexiest and most provocative examples of his work, which is highly coveted by collectors today.
