The third volume in the bestselling Sex and Horror series, which celebrates the publishing craze known as 'fumetti sexy': Italian adult comics and cartoons with a unique take on such genres as horror, crime, fantasy, history and fairy tales. Their huge success in the 1960s and '70s was due in part to their uninhibited mix of twisted humour, gory violence, and up-front eroticism, but the element that makes them so collectable today is their technicolour cover illustrations, rendered by classically trained painters.

This book focuses on the work of Fernando Carcupino famed not just for his comic work but his pinups as well. Sex and Horror Volume Three is another visual feast of outrageous pulp art.
