Information
pencil and ink on thin cardboard
29,5 x 39 cm
Original comic art made by Frollo for "Tith massage", an erotic adventure of his Mona published on page 1 in the volume Mona Street 2: The Secret Books of Glamour by Glamour International in 1991. Published in France in the same year with the title "Tits massages", it marks the consecration of Frollo in the Olympus of erotic comics worldwide. We are in Boston in the 1920s, Mona Street is a shrewd girl recently out of college, soft curves candidly flaunted, an innocent face with an ironic look and a barely there smile on her lips. Mona Street is a normal English name, but if you think that Leone Frollo is Venetian then the playful verbal misunderstanding becomes intuitive. The mischievous wink is already in the name, therefore, but all the stories of Mona Street are underlaid with a morbid eroticism, ingeniously narrated by the author who, with a soft and voluptuous stroke in pencil or ink, has outlined a character very different from the other "comic book heroines" who are almost always dominated by men: Mona has the personality of a false naive who makes fun of everyone, sometimes becoming the avenger of her own sex.
