Les 100 plus belles planches de la BD érotique #[nn]

Published by Beaux Arts Éditions in 2015, this handsome hardcover — curated by Vincent Bernière — sets out to collect the 100 most beautiful pages from the history of erotic bande dessinée. The bold orange cover features a striking ink illustration of a curly-haired woman in a captain's hat, rendered in Milo Manara's immediately recognizable line work (his monogram appears in the lower right corner). It's an elegant, unapologetically sensual celebration of a genre that has long pushed the boundaries of sequential art.
