Death in the colosseum

[mrosa]

Alejandro Jodorowsky and Milo Manara's Borgia is a violent series about Pope Alexander VI's reign of crime and lust. It's a story full of political back-stabbing, violence and sex. The ingredientes for a great comic book. Here's one of my favourite sequences:

















It should be said that Manara is one of the greatest comic book artists of our times. Although he has a preference for porn, he can draw anything he wants - the level of detail in his pencils is always astonishing.

Awesome.

Is this in trade? I always wanted to have it.

Yes, Heavy Metal published English hardcovers of the first two volumes, the pages here being from the second one. But there are four volumes in total.
