The Complete Crepax

Valentina and the Magic Lantern
Created by the famous Italian graphic artist Guido Crepax, Valentina is one of the most iconic, sexy graphic novel heroines of all time. With her distinctive black bob and demure, reserved exterior, Valentina is the very essence of European sophistication. However, below the surface burns a passionate young woman eager to inhabit another world; a world where she can explore her dark attraction to that which most frightens her. In VALENTINA AND THE MAGIC LANTERN, Crepax takes us deep into the heart of her most intensely erotic, fetishistic fantasies - a journey which will heat the blood and set the pulse racing as Valentina is drawn into a labyrinth of elaborate costumes and thrilling liaisons; where physical gratification comes in every shape and size, and absolutely anything goes.
The Complete Crepax: Erotic Stories, Part I
"Story of a Story" (1981) stars Milanese photographer Valentina. Finding herself home alone, she cheekily decides to fantasize about Georges Bataille's infamous novella The Story of the Eye -- with a twist: she's playing all the roles! In the stories "Emmanuelle" (1978) and "Emmanuelle: The Anti-Virgin" (1990), Crepax follows the titular heroine on her sensual journey as the polyamorous wife of a French diplomat in Thailand. While the character is best known as the star of a series of pornographic movies, most notably the 1974 film starring Sylvia Kristel, she originated in a banned 1959 novel by Marayat Rollet-Andriane (pen name Emmanuelle Arsan), a Thai French woman. Emmanuelle has a sexua...

Guido Crepax: Lanterna Magica Dolls
A sumptuous, large-format editions of the classic graphic novel celebrating psychedelia and eroticism Guido Crepax's (1933-2003) graphic novel Lanterna Magica (1979) is an outstanding example of the psychedelic eroticism for which he became famed in the late 1960s through his character Valentina, who is portrayed here in a complex world of hallucinatory and sexual dreamworlds. Housed in a canvas box, and printed on ivory paper, this large-format limited edition of Lanterna Magica is published in three iterations, each featuring a numbered silkscreen authenticated by the Archivio Guido Crepax and an artistic plate created and signed by the celebrated comic artist Lorenzo Mattotti. The Dolls print, edition numbers 1-100, depicts atypical imagery of multiple figures; Imitations, edition numbers 101-200, shows Valentina facing her doppelganger; and Reflection, edition numbers 201-300, portrays Valentina dreaming in bed. The first edition was introduced by a text by Gillo Dorfles, which is here published in its entirety and which repositions the Valentina series within Crepax's work and the context of its time.

In The Time Eater, Valentina meets a curious couple in an asylum, encounters strange creatures on a photo assignment, is caught in a Rube-Goldberg-like death trap, and much more.

Valentina

She has become such an icon of sensuality and strong symbol of women's emancipation that she has appeared in film.

The Complete Crepax
In the 1960s and '70s, Crepax created and chronicled the adventures of Valentina, arguably the strongest and most independent female character in European comics up to that time, and legitimised the erotic genre. Fantagraphics's ambitious Complete Crepax series launched in 2016 to international acclaim, and this handsome boxed set contains our third and fourth volumes (Evil Spells and Private Life).
