ULULA Cover Homage
Added 2021-09-28 13:21:49 +0000 UTCULULA
“Ulula” means “Howling” in Italian.
Ulula is Fumetti (Italian for comic book) character from the golden-age of erotic-horror (1970s and 80s), which featured Monstrous anti-heroines and lots of sex and violence. These books were also known for their immaculately painted photo-realistic covers by notable artists like Emanuele Taglietti, who is considered the god-father of Fumetti cover art. Ulula appeared in 75 comic magazines and told the stories of Ulla, a top-model; who on a full moon, would become a werewolf. The interior art was in black & white and drawn in the bronze age style of American comics with amazing inking and sexy female characters. Probably the best of these artists is Leone Frollo.
I fell in love with this sub-genre of European comics; however, I haven’t read any of them, because they are all in Italian. I’ve seen a lot of the pages and could more or less figure it out, but the art is what captivated me. I may or may not have said so before, but I’ve never been heavily into horror as a genre, be it comics or movies. I can appreciate them and I do enjoy them, but I’ve always steered closer to fantasy and science fiction. My favorite genre is Sword & Sorcery, which has elements of horror with monsters and the supernatural. However, it’s the Halloween season, the season of the witch and I can’t help but dabble in the arcane arts of horror this time of year.
Here is my homage to those awesome Ulula covers by Taglietti. I will post another on Thursday.

2021-09-29 23:07:24 +0000 UTCYeah, it seems every language got a translation but English. I agree, the covers are where it's at. And as far as weird shit, I have seen a bunch of that for sure.

2021-09-29 23:06:56 +0000 UTCI remember seeing some of this stuff. I think lot of Fumettis were translated and published in many countries here in Europe. The covers were amazing, but the interior art was very varied, from good to bad. And some had really weird shit in the stories.

2021-09-28 23:45:22 +0000 UTCI see. Well, It works for her.

2021-09-28 22:50:22 +0000 UTCShe is. I think they were inspired by Eddy Munster. This was way before the fury thing was a thing, so I would assumed they wanted to shows as much flesh as possible.
