In 1985, Paolo Eleuteri Serpieri created the saga of Druuna, comprised of eight volumes published from 1985 to 2003: Morbus Gravis, Morbus Gravis 2: Druuna, Creatura, Carnivora, Mandragora, Aphrodisia, The Forgotten Planet and Clone. The series is noteworthy for featuring perhaps the most realistic-looking and explicit content in terms of both graphic violence and sex in comics.
Serpieri has also published numerous sketchbooks, such as Obsession, Druuna X, Druuna X 2, Croquis, Serpieri Sketchbook, Serpieri Sketchbook 2 and The Sweet Smell of Woman.
Although Druuna is considered to be part of the Hardcore porn business by many, i think Druuna is art.
Artwork tweaked with Photoshop by milo with original images from Druuna.
on Dec14 06Is it Christmas already? A Druuna post - you know how I love her. Thanks! Is it hardcore or is it art? Hmm, good question. As I have not yet read any of the novels, I can’t really answer. But I can say that what I have seen of his work is more art than hardcore. Serpieri draws wonderfully.
on Nov1 06I OWN 4 OF THE DRUUNA BOOKS AND DO FEEL THEY ARE ART. CUTTING EDGE ART. THEY INSPIRE ME TO GET BETTER AT MY OWN DRAWINGS WITHOUT THE FORCE TWIST. SOME DAY YOU MIGHT SEE MINE.
