5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelieveable, August 7, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Aphrodisia (Hardcover)

After having purchased a couple books from the Druuna series, including this one, I have come to some very strong conclusions. This artist knows comics, and knows art. Like any good movie, the story can be told by the pictures alone, without even NEEDING to read it. And when you do, upon deeper exploration, you get plunged into an entirely different world unlike any other comic out there. I don't mean to over emphasis the uniqueness of the story or concept, but in it's success. No other comic can intrigue you, and have you totally suspend your disbelief and think that this might actually be real somewhere. The eroticism is high, and much hotter than any other "hard core" or "underground" comic.... but this differs completely. Dispite how good any adult comic can rise, this can only be a category unto itself. Erotic, yes, but moreso: it is utterly stunning. As the Druuna series comes to a close, and the story ends I find myself disliking this book in only one way... that I had to purchase the different peices individually, in serperate volumes. An collected book of all six episodes back to back in a thick well bound quality edition would be worth every penny, as is this book and any other of Serpieri's.

Another thrilling adventure of serpieri, Great dose of erotism. I always fall in love with his heros/heroines. When you read this, you'll find yourself in a universe which will not help you miss yours... Own one, well actually, start a serpieri anthology...

Although there's some really high quality here, I'd say the magazines leave you wanting a little more. If these had been a little longer (about 100pgs) I would have given it 5 stars.
