Original illustration made by Serpieri as a tribute to his Druuna, published for the first time in the volume "Foemina" by Lo Scarabeo in 2006 and subsequently in the deck of cards "Serpieri Playing Cards" by Lo Scarabeo in 2007. Serpieri is undoubtedly one of the protagonists of contemporary comics, especially thanks to the famous "Druuna" saga: the heroine created in 1988 who embodies, more than any other character, his great love for the feminine. A woman who, for Serpieri, is always beautiful, sensual, exuberant and carnal. A woman who becomes the protagonist of western or science fiction stories, but always adventurous, resolute, alive: she is never a statue to be venerated or an object to be possessed. Signed.
