Serpieri has styled Druuna to be strikingly beautiful, appearing of Mediterranean descent, with long black hair, tanned skin, and a body that has grown increasingly voluptuous over the course of the stories. In most cases, Druuna’s role is that of a willing sexual object, submitting to sexual advances of all kinds with little or no complaint, other than the occasional sad pout, though more than once she has been raped in the stories. She is frequently depicted as sparsely clothed or nude, and Serpieri’s high quality renditions of Druuna are often reproduced as poster prints. Serpieri’s detailed, sensual and erotically charged depictions of Druuna’s rear serve as a useful device for him to express his recurrent interest in depicting sadistic anal sex, a hallmark of the Morbus Gravis series. Most of Druuna’s adventures revolve around a post-apocalyptic future, and the plot is often a vehicle for varied scenes of softcore and hard-core pornography and sexual imagery.

on Nov28 06I love this Druuna work you’ve done. Interesting facts about her. I do not condone the fact that rape occurs in these stories even though I recognize it is fiction. I guess I am just too uptight or something but to me rape is wrong even in fiction.
on Nov28 06You know, Peety’s right. The rain drops are an amazing overlay. This might be your most interesting piece of art yet.
on Nov29 06I left another comment but it does not seem to have been saved — weird. Anyway, I said that the rain drops are an ingenious touch. Peety is right, it is interesting. Beautiful work as always.
