These erotic comics stories, spanning 1968-1991, introduce Bianca, whose dreamlike, ever-shifting adventures, completely unmoored from reality, bounce back and forth from a sinister boarding school to under the sea to Gulliver's travels and much more.

These erotic comics stories, spanning 1968-1991, chronicle the surreal adventures of Bianca. Introduced in the aptly named An Expansive Story, the first two-thirds of this volume, Bianca appears to be trapped in (or haunted by?) a gothic boarding school, whose administrators and pupils have untoward and sinister designs.

Bianca will bounce back and forth between this school and dreamscape after dreamscape - she becomes a plant, talks to fish while diving under the sea, is served up on a silver platter, thrown out with the garbage, witnesses a double homicide, and much more - unfazed as she contorts into ever-more-absurd scenarios.

Then, Bianca faces the trials and tribulations of Gulliver before she hands the baton to Valentina, Crepax's most famous heroine. Who, feeling introspective, 'speaks' to both Bianca and Crepax before modeling in a spectacular, full-colour 'fashion dream.'

About the Author

Guido Crepax was born in Milan, Italy, in 1933. After acquiring a degree in architecture, he worked on award-winning advertising campaigns for such corporations as Shell and Dunlop. He went on to become one of Italy's most important cartoonists, most famous for his psychedelic and erotic Valentina stories. Some of her exploits were adapted into a TV series and a film. He died in 2003. Writer and translator Micol Arianna Beltramini achieved success with the bestseller 101 Things to Do in Milan at Least Once in a Lifetime (Newton Compton 2008). After publishing two novels, she devoted herself to comics, editing a series for Edizioni BD, Psycho Pop, and editing and writing some of the stories that appear in Viva Valentina! (Edizioni BD 2016), the first collection of short stories about the character not written and drawn by Guido Crepax.
