Easily one of THE titles of the ero-fumetti era, Biancaneve (Snow White) was created in 1972 by Renzo Barbieri and Rubino Ventura (the pseudonym of Giuseppe Pederiali) and then masterfully illustrated by Leone Frollo… a major factor in Biancaneve’s success. 94 books were released in four series between 1972 and 1978. The kick-ass covers are by the great Alessandro Biffignandi. I’ve even seen him…
Another of the great Edifumetto ero-fumetti, la Reporter is the story of the beautiful and justice-driven Moona Scooper (yep, that’s her name) who is a journalist traveling the world, quite often on her sailboat. Her focus is on the environment and ecology, and her investigations often put her in the path of traffickers and other criminals. Luckily, Moona often encounters strong and handsome men…
Well, I know nothing about this cartoonist. And I only have a grand total of two cartoons. The only reason I’m posting these as a part of the blog-gallery series is because they’re too well done to just forget, and also maybe somebody more knowledgeable than me will see this and toss me further information? Let’s hope. And, speaking of hope, I hope that you will help support these galleries, and…

Won’t go into a bio, here, because that’s for one of the many other Bill Ward blogs, but~ I wanted to welcome you to, as far as I know, the world’s biggest online collection of original Bill Ward cartoons. Hundreds and hundreds upon hundreds of the beauties, and it’s STILL just a mere fraction of the ones Bill produced. Damn that boy drew a lot! They range between PG to XXX, so Adults Only here.…
Gesebel ran for a respectable 23 issues, published by Editoriale Corno from February of 1966 to October of 1967. Gesebel (and her cat) are space adventurers, with the series being full of sci-fi elements. The main creative team (writer Max Bunker, artist Magnus, and cover artist Luigi Corteggi) were having great success with the “ Satanik ” series and wanted to repeat their triumph with another…
A series published by Editoriale Insubria that first saw print in December of 1971 and managed three total issues, folding in June of 1972. Le Guerrigliere (The Guerrillas) was written by Cesare Melloncelli with art by Giancarlo Tenenti. It consisted of stories (this is going to shock you) where scantily-clad women, or not-clad women, get into trouble and fight their way out of it. The women never…
Eleven issues from March through December of 1969, published by EDP (Edizioni Erregi) I Playboy’s (The Playboys) began as full-text volumes but gradually brought in more and more graphics, illustrations, and comics, such as eight full pages of Sandro Angiolini art in the “ Devil’s Almanac ” supplement. Each issue featured a theme, such as virginity, seduction, ribald vacation spots, and more, each…
The Phantom Detective got his start way back in the 1930’s pulps, but here we’re celebrating the 1960’s reprints, a run of wonderful paperbacks that ALL had cover art by Robert Bonfils, one of my fave cover artists! Two of Robert’s originals for the covers can be seen down below. The Phantom Detective reprint books were published as Regency Suspense novels by Corinth Regency in 1965 and 1966. The…
Another brief moth in a flame. The Adventures of Lady Lust began in April of 1974 and ceased in June of the same year. Three quick issues published by EPU (Edizioni CR).

The comic was based on the “ The Lady From L.U.S.T. ” novels by Rod Gray, better known as Gardner Fox. I’m working on a…
