Sex and Horror

The Sex and Horror series, published by Korero Press beginning in 2016, collects the lurid, masterfully painted Italian fumetti covers of artists like Alessandro Biffignandi, Emanuele Taglietti, and Fernando Carcupino, who defined the genre's erotic-gothic aesthetic in the 1970s and '80s. Each of the five issues showcases a different artist's provocative, cinematic work, celebrating a unique moment in European comics history where horror and sensuality collided with stunning commercial art. For fans of vintage illustration and cult pop culture, this series is a vital archive of an often-overlooked, boldly stylized era.
