Sex and Horror: The Art of Alessandro Biffignandi

Between the late 1960s and the late 1980s, Italy went crazy for "sexy fumetti," a home-grown genre of adult comics with a unique brand of twisted humor, violence, and up-front sexuality. Wilder and weirder than you can imagine, they were some of the most outrageous and shocking comics ever produced, and their eye-catching, highly provocative covers could be seen on every news stand and kiosk in the country. One of the most talented and prolific of the cover artists at Edifumetto--the foremost Italian producer of adult comics during this period--was Alessandro Biffignandi, whose work featured horror, fantasy, and sci-fi elements alongside plenty of naked female flesh. This book is a collection of some of the sexiest examples of Biffigandi's cover art for Edifumetto, which is highly coveted by collectors today.
