Erotic Souvenirs

From 1988 to 1993, Carlsen Comics in Germany published Erotic Souvenirs, an eight-issue anthology series that collected European erotic comics by a rotating roster of acclaimed talents. The series showcased the sophisticated, painterly work of artists like Vittorio Giardino, Laurent Theureau, and Max Cabanes, with stories scripted by writers such as Éric Warnauts, Harald Sachse, and Klaus Jöken. It stands as a distinctive artifact of late-80s/early-90s European comics, offering a curated blend of sensuality and artistry that elevated the genre beyond mere titillation.
