Milo Manara (Italian, b 1945) is a well-known illustrator of adult graphic novels, having commenced his career working on fumetti, the cheap illustrated paperbacks popular in 1950-60s Italy. In 1976, his career took off after his work for the illustrated magazine Pilote. He also became known for his work designing posters for the films of Federico Fellini. The two later collaborated on comic books versions of some of Fellini's films.
In the 1980s, Manara turned towards the field of erotic graphic novels, writing and illustrating such titles as "Click!", "Butterscotch", and "Gullivera", an erotic version of "Gulliver's Travels". Manara is still active and drawing in Italy. Since 2008 the record price for Manara at auction is 57,958 USD for EL GAUCHO , NORMA (ESPAGNE), sold at Christie's Paris in 2014.
