Jonathan Stone for Art-Sheep
Milo Manara is the father of erotic comics, as his work has shocked, inspired and amused -if you know what I mean, countless comic lovers around the world.
Manara is famous for his explicit content and dominant artistic style. He is especially known for his sensual female characters and the erotic way he depicts them, always in some kind of fantastical scenario. His stories haven’t only earned him a special spot in the Italian pop culture, as his works have been met with international recognition.
From a teenage boy to a housewife, there’s no person who hasn’t caught even the slightest glimpse of Milo Manara’s work and was instantly intrigued.
“A truck driver doesn’t hang a Rauschenberg or Jasper Johns painting in his cab; he puts up a nice pin-up. To my pin-ups I owe the fact that I can still entertain and be close to people: soldiers, truck drives, prisoners…” -Milo Manara
