Created by Guido Crepax, one of the most famous graphic artists of the 1960s and 70s, Valentina is the original icon of European cool. In this stylish erotic graphic novel - to be published alongsideValentinaby Evie Blake, a modern novelisation of Valentina's adventures - Crepax uses imagery to explore the darker side of love and desire. With her distinctive black bob, her career as a fashion photographer and her demure, reserved exterior, Valentina is the essence of sophistication. However, below the surface burns a passionate, sexually liberated soul eager to inhabit another world; a world where she can explore her attraction to that which most frightens her, and discover how to fulfill her most intensely erotic desires. In this novel Valentina emerges as independent, stylish and fetishistic as when she was first created. She is every woman's sexy alter ego.
