La clinica dell'amore

In the early 1990s, Italian publisher Play Press brought a distinctive European sensibility to the erotic romance genre with La clinica dell'amore (1993–1994). This nine-issue series follows the intertwined lives and passions of patients and staff at a love clinic, blending soap-opera drama with lighthearted humor and mature themes. While the creators are not widely known outside Italian comics circles, the series stands as a curious artifact of the era's bold, genre-bending European publishing landscape.
