A series of tributes by Manara to celebrate the great authors of comics and international illustration: Jordi Bernet, Françoise Bourgeon, Guido Crepax, Paolo Eleuteri Serpieri, Jean-Claude Forest, Frank Miller, Frank Frazetta, Vittorio Giardino, Jaime Hernamdez, Gérard Lauzier, Tanino Liberatore, Guy Peellaert, Hugo Pratt, Frank Springer, U-Jin, Alex Varenne and Goerges Wolinski. They are drawings in black charcoal, on yellow wrapping paper sheets that show the wonderful women of the honored authors, with the unmistakable erotic touch of Manara; "... attempts to break into those wonderful synapses, tireless producers of extreme beauty ..." (quote by Maurizio de Giovanni, from the introduction to the book “Donne di Carta”).
