Fantagraphics Books The Complete Crepax: City Stories: Volume 9

These erotic comics stories, spanning 1974-1991, feature metropolitan settings like Valentina taking the subway - but what begins as an ordinary trip soon becomes a fantastical journey with familiar characters cameoing along the way. Then, in a giallo-inspired tale, fashion photographer Valentina's models keep turning up dead. Could she be the murderer? In 'Time Out' (1991), she's once again stalked by a Subterranean ... but what is its mission? The rest of this collection introduces a new heroine, Anita, who lives (and dies) for TV! Every flip of the channel has a new genre for her (and Crepax) to insert herself in. And in 'Input Anita,' Crepax plays with the idea of bringing your work home with you. 'Data entry' has never been so sexy (and a little sinister too).
