Giovannissima! #2

The second volume of Giovannissima! from Dynamite showcases the elegant, assured linework of Giovanna Casotto, whose signature pin-up artistry graces this cover with a seated nude figure in a wide-brimmed straw hat and black stockings posed against a clean turquoise background. Casotto's draftsmanship — rendered here in a refined, almost sculptural grayscale against that striking backdrop — demonstrates exactly why her work has found such an appreciative audience in European erotic comics. A handsome addition to any collection of adult-oriented bande dessinée, this 2014 Dynamite release carries a cover price of 20.00 EUR.
