This collection includes Crepax' classic erotic stories from 1968 to 1986, as well as The Man from Harlem; Crepax's ode to boxer Joe Louis and jazz. In other tales, photographer and film and tv star Valentina attempts to balance new relationships with lovers Bruno and Effi alongside the domestic life she shares with Phil. Her rich fantasy life goes Hollywood: Bonnie and Clyde make an appearance and there are several homages to the silent film era. The first is the wordless BDSM classic The Magic Lantern, and in the second she 'meets' one of her inspirations: actress Louise Brooks!
