Butterscotch (The Flavor of the Invisible) #[nn]

Milo Manara's *Butterscotch (The Flavor of the Invisible)*, published by Catalan Communications in 1987, showcases the Italian master's unmistakable linework right from its striking cover — a curly-haired woman in a captain's cap and strappy swimwear glances back over her shoulder, while a floating pipe, a wisp of smoke, and a dangling purse hint at the invisible presence alluded to in the subtitle. Manara handles both pencils and inks here, and the confident, clean draftsmanship speaks for itself. An adults-only graphic album that pairs playful mystery with the sensual elegance that defined Manara's reputation throughout the 1980s.
