Giovannissima! #1

A striking showcase from Giovanna Casotto, this 2013 Dynamite release announces itself boldly with a glamorous pin-up figure posed confidently against a deep blue background — dressed in black lingerie, stockings, heels, and a delicate veil fascinator, she radiates old-Hollywood allure with a thoroughly modern edge. Casotto's artwork here is lush and meticulously rendered, the kind of illustration that commands attention from across a room. Fans of elegant, sophisticated pin-up art will find this a genuinely satisfying addition to their 2013 reading stack.
