Justine

Guido Crepax, the celebrated Italian artist, adapted the Marquis de Sade's infamous novel into a single, striking 1979 graphic album for Olympia Press. With a script co-written by Dominique Grange, this adult-oriented comic translates the philosophical cruelties of 18th-century libertinage into Crepax's signature, elegantly stylized panels. A landmark of European erotic comics, Justine stands as a controversial yet influential fusion of high-art illustration and transgressive literature.
