1st printing.

Adapted by Guido Crepax.

Italian artist Guido Crepax adapts two erotically-charged tales - Justine by De Sade and O by Pauline Reage.

The masterful composition, abundance of metaphors and virtuosity of draughtsmanship - the latter manifest in his love od detail and the exuberance of his decors - give Crepax's work (the words that he transmutes into imagery) a highly significant place in the history of the erotic comic-strip.
