Bitch in Heat

    (Eros, 1997-2000)
™ and ©1999 Editioni 3ntini & C. Ferrara

Originally published in Italy’s “Selen” magazine, the stories in the “Bitch in Heat” anthology series are a cut above most adults-only comics. Italian fine artist Giovanna Casotto uses a photo-realistic style, aided by greytones over his black and white line art. While each story features explicit sex, they actually have plots too; some humorous, some complex dramas. The characters who populate Casotto’s stories are all fatally flawed, but still recognizable; in other words, human beings. There are porn stars with murder in their hearts, the husband who gambles his wife’s favors in a poker game, characters revealing their erotic dreams, and lots of sex in public places. The sex is explicit, but is used as a story tool for some excellent, if twisted, tales. The art is amazing
