Information
pencil and ink on thin cardboard
35 x 50 cm
Original comic art made by Frollo for "Enter Mona Street," the first erotic adventure of his Mona, published on page 4 of the volume Mona Street 1: The Secret Books of Glamour by Glamour International in 1988. Published in France that same year under the title "L'entrée en scène de Mona Street," it marked Frollo's consecration in the Olympus of erotic comics worldwide. Set in Boston in the 1920s, Mona Street is a shrewd young woman recently graduated from college, her soft curves candidly flaunted, an innocent face with a wry look, and a faint smile on her lips. Mona Street is a normal English name, but if you consider that Leone Frollo is Venetian, the playful verbal misunderstanding becomes intuitive. The mischievous wink is already in the name, but all the Mona Street stories are underpinned by a morbid eroticism, ingeniously narrated by the author who, with a soft and voluptuous pencil or ink stroke, has sketched a character very different from other "comic book heroines" almost always dominated by men: Mona has the personality of a false naivete who mocks everyone, sometimes becoming avenger of her own sex. On two panels. Signed.
