Sex and Horror SC (2015-2023 Korero Books) 1-1ST VF/NM 9.0

Volume 1 - 1st printing. "The Art of Emanuele Taglietti!"

In the course of his acclaimed career in the 1970s and 1980s, Emanuele Taglietti painted more than 500 covers for such books as Zora the Vampire, Sukia, Mafia, and 44 Magnum.

Taglietti was one of most outstanding artists of the golden age of Italian comics, and crime and horror were his specialties. His iconic work, overflowing with violence and eroticism, is unforgettable.

This highly visual biography displays dozens of his amazing full-color paintings, explores his fascinating life and career, and takes a look behind the scenes at his exacting technique.

Softcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 160 pages, full color. Mature Readers

Cover price $29.95.

Sex and Horror SC (2015-2023 Korero Books) 3-1ST NM- 9.2

Volume 3 - 1st printing. "The Art of Fernando Carcupino!"

This is the third volume in the Sex and Horror series, which celebrates the publishing craze known as "fumetti sexy": Italian adult comics and cartoons with a unique take on such genres as horror, crime, fantasy, history, and fairy tales. Their success was due in part to their uninhibited mix of twisted humor, gory violence, and up-front eroticism, but the element that makes them so collectible today is their technicolor cover illustrations, rendered by classically trained painters.

This book focuses on the work of Fernando Carcupino, famed not just for his comic work but his pinups, as well.
