Sex And Horror: The Art Of Roberto Molino

This is the fifth volume in our best-selling series Sex and Horror, which celebrates the "fumetty sexy" publishing phenomenon - Italian adult comics with a unique take on such genres as horror, crime, fantasy, history, and fairy tales. Wilderand weirder than you can imagine, they were some of the most outrageous and shocking comics ever produced. The comics were hugely successful, due in part to their uninhibited mix of twisted humour, gory violence, and up-front eroticism; however, what makes them so sought-after today is their technicolour cover illustrations rendered by classically trained painters. One of the most notorious of the cover artists was Roberto Molino, whose artworks often parodied the popular TV shows and films of the day, including Kojak (Kondor), The Bionic Woman (Bionika), and Rambo (Raimbo). This book brings together some of the sexiest and most provocative examples of his work, which is highly coveted by collectors.
