Justine #1

Guido Crepax brings his unmistakable draftsmanship to this adults-only 1991 release from Catalan Communications, presenting the first part of his adaptation of Justine. The cover sets an elegant, contemplative tone — a nude young woman stands with her back to the viewer, surrounded by lush red blooms and holding a draped blue cloth, rendered in Crepax's signature delicate linework. It's a visually refined introduction to what promises to be a thoughtfully crafted, mature work from one of European comics' most distinctive stylists.
