Crepax: Dracula, Frankenstein, and Other Horror Stories is the artist's unique take on the works of Bram Stoker and Mary Shelley, along with a half dozen stories featuring his most famous character, Valentina, several never before published.
Presented in a deluxe coffee table format, this first of ten volumes in the complete works of Crepax will be a revelation to American readers.

Volume 2 - 1st printing. "The Time Eater and Other Horror Stories!"
Story and art by Guido Crepax.
panning the 1960s-1980s, this science-fiction-themed second volume of our complete Guido Crepax library features, in addition to adventuress Valentina, two more of the famed Italian erotic artist's heroines. Marianna is a mysterious friend of Valentina's (or is she? And why do they look so alike?). Belinda is a motorcycle-driving, pop art action star inspired by then contemporary characters like Barbarella. In The Time Eaters & Other Stories, Valentina meets a curious couple in an asylum, encounters strange creatures on a photo assignment, is caught in a Rube-Goldberg-like death trap, and much more.
Reproduced in a lush, oversized format to best showcase the sensuous beauty of Crepax's drawing, these volumes also include contextual essays about the cartoonist - and the real-world, mid-century Milan that the characters inhabit - by an international cast of comics critics and historians. Universally acclaimed as one of the most extravagant and luxurious series of comics collections ever published, The Time Eaters more than lives up to the critical reception of our first volume of The Complete Crepax.
