Information
pencil and ink on reassembled thin cardboard
28 x 41,5 cm
Original comic art made by Frollo and titled by himself "A patchwork à la Caniff", published as the final page of the volume Mona Street 1: The Secret Books of Glamour by Glamour International in 1988. 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 consider 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 stifling eroticism, ingeniously narrated by the author who, with a soft and voluptuous pencil or ink stroke, has drawn a character very different from the other "heroines of comics" almost always dominated by men: Mona has the personality of a false naive who makes fun of everyone, sometimes becoming avenger of her own sex. Small lack in the lower right corner and slight creases in the first frame.
