This is best possible way I can think of to experience this incredible artist. Fantagraphics' attention to detail and outright love for this art can be felt in every fibre of the book.Crepax's work, to me, feels like a combination of Peellaert's eye for fashion with Pratt's sense of storytelling and Manara's always lustful gaze. It's hallucinatory, frequently surreal, but always compelling. The first half of the book are "horror" stories (really more like sci-fi, but let's not split hairs) featuring his signature protagonist Valentina. At first, she is merely a supporting character to Philip (a sort of superhero with magic eyes) but later becomes a much more developed figure in her own right.The second half is devoted to adaptations of Dracula and Frankenstein. The vampire story is as beautiful and sensuous as one would think; all billowing lines and Gothic excess. Frankenstein is a stranger proposal, and comes from much later in Crepax's career where his line work was much looser and his figures more freeform. It's perhaps a little disappointing, but is still interesting to see the artist evolve 30 years in the turn of a page.The sticking point, however, is the series editor. His introduction to the book reads like a 5th grader's essay on their favourite artist - all declarative sentences and Wikipedia-level information - with some outright bizarre claims that any actress with a bob haircut was clearly influenced by Valentina. His story notes are no better, pointing out mindless minutiae when what's really needed is context for the social and political milieu of Italy in the 60s. Compared to other series notes, such as RC Harvey's indispensable work on Pogo, this feels sophomoric and below Fanta's usual high standards.I'm still looking forward to the next volume. Crepax is too important and too damn good to let ancillary material spoil his work. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing collection of one of the greatest cartoonists ever. *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 4, 2016* I love Crepax-so much so that I have ordered his books from France and Italy in languages I don't speak. Now we have a beautiful, very large book of his work including Valentina and his adaptation of Dracula. Crepax version of Dracula is not only the best comic version but improves on the novel by trimming the boring parts and supplying stunning images capturing the weird sexual undertone.Valentina is also excellent. Her stories combine her real life adventures and her fantasies, mixing them and blurring them together.Crepax achieves something only the greatest cartoonists can-he creates a world of his own, unique and consistent and like nothing else.This is the comics book of the year. Thanks, Fantagraphics. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Crepax Done Right *by T***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 19, 2017* Fantagraphics is doing proud the Crepax estate and Crepax fans worldwide with this reprint collection.Oversized, gorgeous cover quality, spines, intros and extras.The work is not in chronological order, but rather by genres and themes. With this volume, fans will admire the artist's early style and witness old age and sickness takes its toll on a master storyteller who just kept going until the end.The stories are strictly in black and white and at times, It feels as if Frank Miller took a cue from Crepax's art when he created his Sin City stories. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/25431817-the-complete-crepax-dracula-frankenstein-and-other-horror-stories-volume](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/25431817-the-complete-crepax-dracula-frankenstein-and-other-horror-stories-volume) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
