The Art of Emanuele Taglietti

Another amazing volume in the Sex and Horror series..I LOVE the paintings of Taglietti and this book collects his best work from the Italian fumetti comix era. Beautifully produced with lots of artists reference photos and sketches. This and the Biffignandi volume are two of the best books I own now. I really hope the guys Korero keep publishing this kind of thing- Otherwise its a good chance this amazing stuff will be entirely forgotten! -William

This is a great collection of art from a terrific artist whose work is not as well known as his talent and skill deserve. This book features over 100 full-color images of Taglietti's art, about half of which are full page pictures. The pictures are grouped by the book or comic series which they were from, with a little history on each series giving some context to the images, which I also enjoyed. The print quality and binding are top-notch. All in all a great collection for fans of pulp art.

Great book of Italian sex comic covers. These are covers so nothing explicit. Very colorful artwork.

This glossy book is loaded with all of the craziest, goriest, necrophilia driven Illustrations from sleazy Italian Horror comics of the 1970s and 80s. If any of that offends you, this is not your book. If, however, you dig ANYTHING from that bygone era of sex and horror then this will satisfy your cravings! On the technical side this book is beautifully printed and a good window into how illustrators worked 30-40 years ago. You'll notice exact likenesses of Christopher Lee and Bela Lugosi, and Vincent Price woven into these collage like covers. Illustrators called movie stills "Photo Scrap" and had full right to use them as Illustrations and but not photographs. Also, old school illustrators were heavily trained in drawing the figure. So all the figures-mostly women- look right. Nothing cartoony here. It's all well drawn and often was drawn quickly to make a deadline. If nothing else you've got to appreciate the speed and craft Taglietti had.

I like exotic art work. These unusual pictures hit the mark. Some are fantastic. Some are tame by comparison or maybe I am just a bit jaded.

Amazing book highlighting the incredible work of Emamuelle Taglietti. Taglietti's covers to Italian horror and crime comics each tell a story all by themselves. In the tradition of the early pulp magazines they offer excitement and adventure with a solid dose of T & A. Those unfamiliar with his work will be stunned and those familiar with fumetti covers will finally find a beautiful collection of his work to enjoy.

Excellent book! The Italian MASTER of exploitation art is celebrated here in an amazing career spanning collection. This book is a MUST for anyone who appreciates the pulp era of art. The paintings in this tome are loaded with exactly what is described in the title of the book. Sex and Horror! Taglietti's mastery of color and movement is apparent in every piece presented.

Review of Taglietti's cover art, and amusing reflection of early come-ons to buy a magazine.
