GQ Italia celebrates 70 years of comic book artist Milo Manara with ultra risqué cover (NSFW)

The September issue of GQ Italia holds little back with its bold, bare-breasted cover, courtesy of Milo Manara. The issue celebrates the Italian comic book artist’s 70-year career, during which he has collaborated with filmmaker Federico Fellini and become well known for erotic comics that centre on beautiful women caught up in far-fetched and fantastical scenarios, as well as later work with Marvel comics. Part woman, part creature, the unapologetic cover juxtaposes Manara’s sci-fi erotica with a quote from French poet Paul Valéry (“We civilisations now know ourselves to be mortal”) and comes as a daring and unexpected move from GQ Italia.
