Book - Full-Length (The Autobiography of Milo Manara)

If the richest man in the world said to me, "I'll offer you all my wealth, but you must lose the ability to draw," I would say no. I would say, "You keep all your wealth. Because my life is drawing. Without drawing, I wouldn't have a life."

Milo Manara talks about himself. His art and his life. His childhood and youth, his love of drawing and his overwhelming encounter with comics, his apprenticeship in sexy paperbacks, the 1968 movement, his teachings and friendship with Hugo Pratt, the "Maestro." And his rise to fame as an artist admired worldwide, especially thanks to his depiction of the female body, which has become part of the collective imagination. A story in which comics also meets cinema, particularly that of Federico Fellini, with whom Milo Manara creates stories and shares projects and dreams. The sincere and passionate confession of an author who knows how to be a witness to his time, accompanied by cartoons, sketches, posters, and photographs. An autobiography that satisfies the mind and the eye.
