Milo Manara
Milo Manara is an
Italian erotic artist. Some of his more famous strips include
Click (in three parts) and
Wendy, Wanda and Wilma. His cartoons revolve around elegant, beautiful women caught up in unlikely and fantastical erotic scenarios. He evidently has a fixation with the female bottom. Many of his comics have themes of
bondage, domination and humiliation,
rape, and
invisibility. They vary in their explicitness, but the general mood is playful rather than misogynistic. His skill in creating atmosphere, his obvious talent, and his occasional excursions into more "mainstream" stories, have helped to give him an air of artistic respectability.
His work was brought to an American audience largely through its appearence in Heavy Metal magazine.
