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.

Produktbeschreibung
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.
Autorenporträt
Born in Rome, Italy, in 1935, Alessandro Biffignandi developed an interest in drawing and cartoons at a very young age. After school, he attended art college, where he became fascinated by cinema posters, and on graduating he became an apprentice with the great Italian poster illustrator Averardo Ciriello. At the age of 20, Biffignandi was head-hunted by the studio of Augusto Favelli, which at that time was Italy's biggest producer of film posters. In the 1960s, he moved to Milan and created cover artwork for the D'Ami studio, an art agency that produced comic strips for the UK market, including the famous Fleetway war comics. From 1970 until the early '80s, he produced hundreds of high-quality covers for the adult comic titles published by Edifumetto - including Zora la Vampira, Cimiteria, and Biancaneve, after which he left the world of comics to concentrate on magazine and book illustration. He died in 2017, not long after the publication of this book.
