Review: This book is fantastic, the art ohh Marvelous, Paolo Eleuteri Serpieri at his best. No one draws beautifull women like Serpieri, and his goddess DRUUNA looks absolutely gorgeous. The women are sexy, voluptuous, and sexual. I would recomend this book with all the other Druuna books, but if your lookig for big beautifull pictures, get this book, with "Druuna X", and "Druuna 2X". The art is simply amazing, and if you ever bought other Druuna books and liked them, then this will not dissapoint you!

Summary: Beautiful, if Somewhat Pricey, Erotic Art
Review: This is another in a series of Heavy Metal "compilation" books featuring the art of Paolo Serpieri, accompanied by translated text from the artist.

While there are some new plates used, a significant number of drawings and paintings can be found in two other Heavy Metal titles, "Sketchbook", and "Drunna X, vol. 1".

Pros: Large, deluxe hardbound format
Fair number of color pages
Beautiful, highly detailed erotic artwork by a master
figure artist
The text is kept to a minimum

Cons: Many drawings are repeated in other books
IMHO, the softcore sexual references in the text are
unnecessary and may detract from enjoyment of the art
Like most Heavy Metal books, the book is quite thin
given its cost.

Summary: Overall, for those fans of Serpieri who haven't already purchased "Sketchbook" and/or "Drunna X, vol. 1", this is a nice title to add to your collection.
