The African Adventures of Giuseppe Bergman

Milo Manara brings his signature lush, detailed style to this two-issue series from Catalan Communications, following the globe-trotting misadventures of his recurring character Giuseppe Bergman. Co-written with Elizabeth Bell and Jean-Jacques Surbeck, the story sends Bergman into a satirical, erotic journey through colonial-era Africa. Though brief, the series stands as a distinctive, mature chapter in Manara's celebrated body of work, blending adventure with his trademark sensuality and social commentary.
