About the author

Robert Baldazzini is an Italian comic book writer and artist renowned for his graphic line work. He first came to prominence in 1984 with the publication of Stella Norris. From 1995 he began focusing on erotic comics with such works as Trans Est, Casa Howard and Chiara Rosenberg. He subsequently became known for his characteristically visceral but elegant, black and white style. And today, as his reputation grows, he is just as likely to be working on a gallery show as his next comic strip.

Reviews

[George K.]

Καλούτσικο σχέδιο, απλοϊκή αλλά αρκετά ατμοσφαιρική πλοκή. Δεν μπορώ να πω ότι ξετρελάθηκα κιόλας, όμως γενικά πέρασα καλά.

[StrictlySequential ArtNarrative]

Thrilling story with a two-tier ending!

Excellent period-appropriate art encompassing the people, places and things and enough unanswered questions to make the sequel irresistible!

but the second installment is not available in English and is not needed to fully enjoy the first.

[Rex Hurst]

A somewhat optimistic title as there was no Stella Norris 2, 3, 4, or 5 published- at least not in English. It is the tale of a young Hollywood starlet in Florida who, after being just married to man she doesn't really care for, is forced by the titular hurricane to stay at a hotel with the owners, one of whom is mentally ill, and an aggressive alligator hunter. Excellent art, makes for a compelling noir story.
