5.0 out of 5 stars A Masterpiece of the master Manara, May 22, 2006

By	G. R. M. Filho "betomac" (Fortaleza, CE Brazil) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Manara is, along with Serpieri, one of the greatest artists of the female form. To read uninformed critics saying that his art is "crude" is laughable, a clear sign of how some people have no knowledge of art.

It's also preposterous, ludicrous to call his work "too hardcore". Maybe there is some magical book of rules that every artist should follow when drawing female characters? I wouldn't know, i have never heard of such book.

Manara's work is, to put simply, far above even popular american artists like Adam Hughes and Frank Cho (Hughes and Cho themselves say so - and they do it not to sound humble, but because THEY actually know what they are talking about).

Every book of Manara available here on Amazon is a masterpiece, and any REAL fan of art should have them on their collections.

3.0 out of 5 stars art without a story, October 10, 2007

By	redwood (TALLINN, Estonia) - See all my reviews

I like Milo Manaras art but it is especially enjoyable with the story. This is wonderful book of his best art of women but just images.

Just in case to mention. I would have been thankful to get this kind of hint when I was buying.

For those of you looking for fine images - strong yes.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the price, April 11, 2007

By	D. Johnson (Quinnesec, MI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I love Manara's work and have about 6 of his other books. This book mostly contained duplicate artwork published elsewhere, and not even his best work. Not worth the price. Buy the Click or Butterscotch series instead.
