I'll have more to say tomorrow, but for now just observe that, in the marvelous world created by Crepax, even vintage-80s bathing suits and plaid pants look hott. That takes a downright *dangerous* degree of artistic skill!
In tomorrow's installment, the hallucinatory madness continues! Effi dons a double-breasted blazer and leggings and still looks sexy and Valentina sports Le Smoking. *frisson*

Is it just me, or did Crepax draw the hottest women's butts, ever?
I like Corrado's Baba Yaga adaptation, and remember also seeing a Valentina series on Cinemax in the late 80s/90s. But none it could hold a candle to Crepax's original.
I never collected Heavy Metal, but used to read them when I was at my friend's house (he had practically every issue). One of the few magazines I didn't collect at the time which in retrospect is pretty strange considering the crap I used to waste my money on when I was in high school.
No, it's not just you! I get so many comments on this Valentina panel on my arm--I've had multiple people specifically tell me that her butt looks *great* :)
I think your reaction to "Heavy Metal" is similar to mine and to that of a lot of folks who commented on Part 1--there's something about it that just fails to GRAB the attention. Which is weird, considering that it's a great concept *on paper*. The inconsistency is just too much, I guess!
