Trip to Tulum

Milo Manara’s Trip to Tulum is a single-issue graphic novella from Catalan Communications, released in 1990, that blends his signature lush, sensual artwork with a surreal adventure. Co-written with Stefano Gaudiano, the story follows a couple on a vacation to the Mexican coastal ruins, where their romantic getaway spirals into a hallucinatory encounter with ancient Mayan mysteries. Manara’s elegant, detailed linework and dreamlike storytelling make this a distinctive, self-contained piece that showcases his ability to merge eroticism with philosophical fantasy. It remains a notable, standalone example of European adult comics from the early 1990s.
