Born in Luson, Milo Manara initially earned a living by assisting
sculptors and only became interested in comics in the late sixties.
He is one of the few comic artists who managed to create erotic
comics and still maintain a reputation as an acclaimed artist. In
1995, Manara made Gullivera for Humanoids, loosely based
on the classic novel Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan
Swift. He worked with Federico Fellini on two stories, with Neil
Gaiman for DC/Vertigo in 2003 and collaborated with Alejandro
Jodorowsky on the series Borgia, about the 15th century papal
family. He also drew X-Women and a variant cover
of Spider-Woman for Marvel, in addition to his praised
erotic comics such as Pandora’s Eyes and The Golden
Ass. In 1998, Manara was inducted into the Jack Kirby Hall of Fame
and in 2004 he won an Eisner award in the Best Anthology category
for The Sandman: Endless Nights.
Born in Rome, Vincenzo Cerami was an Italian screenwriter,
novelist, and poet. From 1967 on he contributed or wrote or adapted
screenplays for more than 40 feature films. In 1976, his first
novel, A Very Normal Man, was published and was an
immediate hit, and subsequently adapted into a film in 1977 by
Mario Monicelli. Also critically acclaimed was his
novel Goodbye Lenin, published in 1981. In 1996 he was a
member of the jury at the 46th Berlin International Film Festival,
and in 1999 he was nominated for the Academy Award for Original
Screenplay for the Roberto Benigni film Life Is Beautiful.
"Milo Manara's art is top notch. He's a master of expressions, but we're also treated to beautiful locations and panel backgrounds. " - Comic Book Daily "Pandora's Eyes is a complete story that showcases the masterful storytelling and sensual women that have made Manara an international comic book super star." - Inky Fingers "Pandora's Eyes is a stellar example of what can be accomplished when the art is allowed freedom from convoluted plots or continuity, and thus gives vitality to the words." - www.graphicnovelreporter.com
