Book Overview

Compiled from the popular Sex and Horror series, Volume Four focuses on the fumetti sexy phenomenon that filled Italian newsstands from the late 1960s to the mid-1980s. These comics were mass-market pocket books, not underground publications, and their covers combined eroticism, gory violence and melodrama. The cover artworks are now sought after as collectable pulp art.

This digital edition includes editorial and translation by Nicola D’Agostino and a foreword by Y El-Droubie. It draws on series such as Oltretomba, Terror Blu, Vampirissimo and Zora la vampira.
