4.0 out of 5 stars A provocative comic exploit, March 29, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Butterscotch (Paperback)

The professor who discovered the secret of invisibility, in theform of butterscotch-flavoured body paint, is at it again in thisbeautifully drawn graphic novel sequel. This time he has a nuisance to deal with, a sexy Manara girl with designs on becoming an invisible super-criminal.

The story is slightly more sophisticated than in the original Butterscotch, but not so much so that it hinders one's enjoyment of the artwork.

This work relies heavily on visual elements, especially the female form. Manara uses invisibility as a device to enable us to look at the female form in new and different (and highly erotic) ways.

If you buy this book, expect beautiful, sensual, high quality illustrations, not deep wordy dialogue or overly complicated plots and characters. END

5.0 out of 5 stars A great artist explores sexuality in the graphic novel, March 15, 2005

This review is from: Butterscotch (Paperback)

For those of you not too terribly squeamish about erotica, this book,this artist, and this title is one that is not really so embarrasing to be seen sitting on your shelf. It is entirely possible to present 'sexual situations" in a novel, amusing, and entertaining manner. Milo Manara has set the bar fairly high. Yes there are some sexual encounters, and you might not want the pastor, over for afternoon tea, to accidentally pick this one up (he might say..."Can we talk...ahem!"). On the other hand, Manara seems to delight in coitus interruptus; and holding the reader just short of fulfillment. He manages to accomplish this marathon by placing his (fantasy girl) objet d' (ahem!) in situations of almost, but not quite being fulfilled or finished, or "completed" herself, via way of numerous chance, impromptu sexual encounters, and then hurrying on with the , always, intriguing storyline. You will perceive her , in a word, as "such a tease". Even if you think you are above such things, you might find yourself wanting to (ahem!...never mind) her yourself!

3.0 out of 5 stars Ahhhh...No Masterpiece, April 1, 2002

By 

"kissarmy_3000" (Bronx, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Butterscotch (Paperback)

Many of Manaras books are outstanding, not only because of his great art, but because the story is smart and funny! Ahhh...but i am afraid this one is no masterpiece. Is the art good? Yes, but even here it's not top notch. The story in this one is just not very smart...if this is the first book you purchased by Manara (and of this nature), you might like it...but comparing it to the first Butterscotch, it falls very short. Sometimes youre just going to say, 'this is stupid' and these situations hurt the book. If your looking for something nice and funny by Milo Manara, I would recomend: "Butterscotch", "Gullivera", another hot title is "Click 1-3", and "To see the stars".
