Complete Crepax HC (2016- Fantagraphics) comic books 2026

Volume 10 - 1st printing. "Surreal Stories!" Story and art by Guido Crepax. Translated by Micol Beltramini. These erotic comics stories, spanning 1968–1991, chronicle the surreal adventures of Bianca. Introduced in the aptly named An Expansive Story, the first two-thirds of this volume, Bianca appears to be trapped in (or haunted by?) a gothic boarding school, whose administrators and pupils have untoward and sinister designs. Bianca will bounce back and forth between this school and dreamscape after dreamscape—she becomes a plant, talks to fish while diving under the sea, is served up on a silver platter, thrown out with the garbage, witnesses a double homicide, and much more—unfazed as she contorts into ever-more-absurd scenarios. Then, Bianca faces the trials and tribulations of Gulliver before she hands the baton to Valentina, Crepaxs most famous heroine. Who, feeling introspective, speaks to both Bianca and Crepax before modeling in a spectacular, full-color fashion dream. Hardcover, 10-in. x 13-in., 316 pages, PC/PB&W. Mature Readers Cover price $85.00.
