The fourth volume of Fantagraphics' groundbreaking Complete Crepax series puts the author's sexy proto feminist heroine Valentina, the globe-trotting Milanese photographer, front and centre in a series of erotic comics narratives. Spanning 1965-1985 and mostly never before published in English, Volume 4 includes his first comics foray - 'The Curve of Lesmo' - in which our heroine is introduced as an adventurer's sidekick! Elsewhere in this volume, she becomes a mother, outwits a gang of jewel thieves, flashes back to her childhood and adolescence, encounters a mysterious cello, and much more!.
