A Jew in Communist Prague (repost)

A Jew in Communist Prague is the title of a series of graphic novels created by Vittorio Giardino. They feature the main character Jonas Fink. They are published in the United States by NBM.

Jonas is a young Jew in 1950's Prague whose father is arrested by the communist police. He and his mother have to cope with the discrimination and oppression of Joseph Stalin's regime. The book, collected as A Jew in Communist Prague, won the Angoulème Alfred prize for best foreign work in 1995 as well as a Harvey Award at San Diego in 1999. Giardino detailed art style recalls the French ligne claire, while his writing owes to hard boiled and spy story authors like Dashiell Hammett and John le Carré.

Sam Pezzo, P.I. T01 (Catalan 1987)

With a dark mustache, high forehead, a smoke jammed in his yap, Sam works the mean streets of a suitably bleak Bologna, a "shitpile of a city." He does collections and other assorted small jobs for various suitably seedy clients. Sam seems to swear quite a bit, but this may be the result of a bad attempt at rendering American tough guy talk into an Italian comic strip.

Little Ego (Eurotica 1994)

Little Ego is an adult-oriented comic strip written and drawn by Vittorio Giardino (first published in 1984). It is an erotic parody of the classic Little Nemo comic. As in Little Nemo, each story is about the main character, Ego, having a dream. Whereas Little Nemo talked to his mother after waking up, Little Ego thinks what she will tell her psychoanalyst. Every story in the Little Ego comic book involves erotic imagery, with Ego appearing half-naked or fully naked in at least one point. She has sexual intercourse with men, with other women, and even with plants and animals.
