Summary: Lost in Space....
Comment: Continued from Morbus Gravis I, Druuna meets the ancient "Lewis" and learns the secrets of the "city" and the "upper level". Alerted to the threat of impending danger, Druuna returns to the city she knows, guided my Lewis, where she is entailed once again in a web of lust and danger. As the city moves and shifts around her, will Druuna ever be able to reach her goal or contact Lewis again? Can she face and escape the "lower levels"?
Once again, Serpieri creates a fantastic story that more-or-less closes the arc begun in Morbus Gravis I. His artwork continues to get better. We meet many new characters as well as revisit important ones from Morbus I, anyone interested in "Druuna", should get these two great volumes.

Summary: A Mutant Nation....
Comment: Morbus Gravis is the first book in a superb series of sci-fi graphic novels about a woman named "Druuna". In a violent and depraved city, tyrannized by a mysterious religion and a callus military, people live and die at the whim of bureaucracy and the hungers of mutants that crawl up from the underground. The population is completely reliant on a "serum" provided by the government to keep them from becoming mutants themselves, and hope for the chance to be sent to the "upper" level where the most healthy live. This is the city that Druuna calls home. A place where her beautiful body is her most valuable asset, as well as her greatest liability. Can Druuna survive this hell, while she struggles to save her lover from the disease that has claimed countless others? What is this city, and what is it's terrible secret that Druuna is about to discover?
This is a masterfully illustrated novel. Serpieri's beautiful linework is both lush and precise. He paints, literally and figuratively, a fascinating world that is tremendously dreamlike in its tone. For those looking for a clinical exercise in speculative fiction, look elsewhere. For anyone interested in a subjective, erotic, and metaphorical journey, this is a necessary read.

Summary: Sci-fi meets erotic art
Comment: Morbus Gravis means "Grave (or deadly) disease." In this book from a series about Druuna, Serpieri's full bodied heroine, she is the only one that is healthy while everyone dies of a disease that turns people into sexually depraved monsters.
Druuna loves, runs, searches...all in in sci-fi setting that is full of weird and wonderful scenarios.
Serpieri draws Druuna to the fullest: huge [chest] and a great behind. I actually own the original paperback and still go back and read and look through it, still amazed at the attention to detail to the female body.
There are a few S&M scenarios that are not too explicit to turn off the softer reader.
If you like Serpieri, this is a must have!
