MANARA LIBRARY HC (2025)

"Milo Manara and Alejandro Jodorowsky's (Metabarons, The Incal) sweeping saga of sex, blood, and religion is collected in a single edition for the first time, in the latest volume of The Manara Library! When Pope Innocent VIII dies, the corrupt, licentious Cardinal Rodrigo Borgia schemes, murders, and seduces his way into becoming the new Pope and immediately secures positions for his family to ensure a Borgia dynasty. With breathtakingly beautiful painted artwork by Manara, this account of Italy's first Mafia family is among comics'-and history's-sexiest, most violent, and most engrossing epics!"

"Giuseppe Bergman is still looking for adventure in all the wrong places: from Africa to the Aegean, Manara's signature character stars in a film with a vanished director; re-creates the legendary voyage of Ulysses; and babysits a woman whose urge to reenact classic paintings lands her in Dante's hell! Manara's artwork and satirical voice are both in top form, and these stories, spanning two decades, are among his funniest, sexiest, and most beautiful! Collects the classic An Author in Search of Six Characters and Dies Irae, along with Bergman's Odyssey and The Urban Adventures. "
