GENIUS 01 05

First page of issue no. 1 of GENIUS - "Il morso della lupa" -, published on page 5 of the comic book.
This is the very first page ever drawn by Milo Manara as a professional comic artist, his professional debut taking place in September 1969 on the title published by Furio Viano Editore for one of the sexy noir comics that tried to emulate the success of Diabolik.
The art was displayed in the exhibition dedicated to the artist at the 46th Angoulême Festival in 2019 and is reproduced in the catalog "Manara Itinéraire d'un Maestro de Pratt a Caravage". The page is also published in several other publications dedicated to Milo Manara, including "A figura intera" (Manara, M. Feltrinelli 2021).
