Riassunto

A long overdue look at the famed fumetti work of Emanuele Taglietti, a legendary comic book cover artist known for his outrageous artwork

In the course of his acclaimed career in the 1970s and 1980s, Emanuele Taglietti painted more than 500 covers for such books as Zora the Vampire, Sukia, Mafia, and 44 Magnum. Taglietti was one of most outstanding artists of the golden age of Italian comics, and crime and horror were his specialties. His iconic work, overflowing with violence and eroticism, is unforgettable. This highly visual biography displays dozens of his amazing full-color paintings, explores his fascinating life and career, and takes a look behind the scenes at his exacting technique. A must-have for comic book fans, artists, and popular culture aficionados alike, the book features never-before-seen photos and art. A unique collection of retrospective of the work of one of the greats of the golden age of Italian comics, this book will appeal to pulp art, comic, and illustration fans.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

'Releasing in March, Sex and Horror exhibits dozens of the artist's incredible paintings, while discussing the maestro's otherworldly techniques. Back in the 1970's, some of these books were banished from newsstands in Taglietti's homeland by outraged censors. In reality, these moral crusaders probably wanted to keep the comics for themselves.' - Bizarre

'The work of one of the leading fumetti cover artists, Emanuele Taglietti, remains highly collectable and has been brought together for the first time in the book Sex and Horror, providing a long-overdue look at this forgotten genre.'-Fiesta

'...fascinating glimpses of a little-documented and long-since abandoned seam of horror.' - SFX

'Artist Emanuele Taglietti is one of the most celebrated masters to emerge from that unique period in 1970 s Italy, when morale shifted and the popular fumetti (Italian comic books, literally translated as 'puffs of smoke', an allusion to speech bubbles) followed more liberal strains of genre cinema and more overt, explicit sexuality was visualized on their covers. Tagleitti, a former set designer who had worked with Fellini, jumped on this, exploiting the comforts of working from home by becoming a full-fledged cover illustrator, nurturing a style that was sensual, lurid, saturated and bristling with energy.' --Fangoria.com

"...fascinating glimpses of a little-documented and long-since abandoned seam of horror." - Starburst

&quotThere are more vampires, ghouls, secret agents, mafiosi, devils, freaks, bad guys, cops, monsters and maniacs in Emanuele Taglietti's Sex and Horror: the art of Emanuele Taglietti than you could shake a zombie's severed arm at. There's a fair bit of gratuitous, not say salacious, nudity as well." - -- The Erotic Review

'This is one of the most beautiful comic art books I have ever seen. It is a nice, thick book clocking in at 160 pages, all in full color. Along with each painting that is seen here, there is a brief description telling you the title of the comic it was from, the issue number, and the publication month and year. Some of the more popular comics have a brief description telling you what the general plot of the comic was. The book also has a small section at the front that gives some brief biographical info on Mr. Taglietti.' --Hayes Hudson's House of Horror
