Massimo Rotundo
Massimo Rotundo’s first comic exploits were published in the magazines Lancio Story, Skorpio, L’Eternauta and Orient-Express. Afterwards, Rotundo created ‘Il Detective senza Nome’ and ‘I Padroni del Silenzio’, that were both published in album. In 1987, he created the series ‘Sera Torbara’ in Comic Art. Afterwards, Rotundo turned to erotic comics, starting with ‘Ex-Libris Eroticis’ in Playmen. For this same magazine, he started the series ‘Rudy X’ (with Franco Saudelli and Rodolfo Torti) and ‘Guerra Calda’. With the Belgian scenarist Jean Dufaux, Rotundo created a comic biography of Paolo Pasolini, entitled ‘Pig! Pig! Pig!’. He also joined Bonelli publishers, where he became an artist of the series ‘Brendon’.
Luis Roca
Luis Roca was the artist on the ‘Scarth’ series that ran in the English tabloid The Sun from 1969. Luis Roca and writer Jo Adams created a series that mixed science-fiction with police intrigues. Scarth was a young woman that died in a car accident, but returned to life after a brain transplant in 2170. Victim of a prudish censorship, the series became less erotic from 1972 and was continued under the name ‘Scarth AD 2170′. Luis Roca has illustrated more erotic comics, such as ‘Julia o Julio’, that appeared in Colección X of La Cupula publishers.
Matias Rodval
Matias Rodval is the artist of the comics ‘Orinoco’, ‘Jaïra’ and ‘Corveïro’, which he produced with writer Julio Braz. He is mainly an artist of erotic comics, like ‘Os 120 Dias de Sodoma’. He founded the Brazilian comics magazine Grafipar in the late 1970s, along with fellow artists Mozart Couto and Watson Portela. They published about 40 issues between 1978 and 1982, and the stories varied from science-fiction to horror, but always with an erotic element.
Luis Royo
Luis Royo started drawing comics for different fanzines in 1978. Between 1981 and 1984, his comics were published in Comix International and Rambla magazines. Royo began his career as an illustrator in 1983. His works made it out of Spain and were published worldwide. Royo created covers for American magazines, such as National Lampoon and Heavy Metal, for which he also did erotic and fantasy art.
Three Royo books, ‘Women’, ‘Malefic’, and ‘Secrets’, were published by Norma Editorial, starting in 1992. In 1998 Royo created the art book, ‘III Millennium’. In 1999 his ‘Dreams’ art book was published, and showcases his previous ten years of commissioned illustrations. Another art book, titled ‘Prohibited Book’, was published later that year. In 2001 ‘Evolution’ was published, which shows a lot of Royo’s book cover illustrations with a somewhat mythical, erotic quality.
