Maurilio Manara (Template:IPAc-en; born 12 September 1945), known professionally as Milo Manara, is an Italian comic book writer and artist.

CareerEdit

After architecture and painting studies, he made his comics debut in 1969 drawing for Genius, a fumetti neri series of pocket books from publisher Furio Vanio in the wake of the popularity of Kriminal and Satanik.<ref name="lambiek">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In 1970, he illustrated for the magazine Terror, and starting in 1971 drew the erotic series Jolanda de Almaviva written by Francisco Rubino, issued in small format by publisher Erregi. Joining the youth magazine {{#invoke:Lang|lang}}, he worked with Rubino, Carlo Barbieri, Mino Milani and Silverio Pisú.<ref name="comiqueando">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> With Pisú Manara launched the publications {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} and {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} in 1974 and the series {{#invoke:Lang|lang}}, and with writer Mino Milani the series {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} in 1975. Manara and Pisú later went on to publish Lo Scimmiotto (The Ape) along the story of the Chinese Monkey King in Alter Linus in 1976, and with Alfredo Castelli, L'Uomo delle Nevi (The Snowman) in 1978.<ref name="comiqueando"/>

During this period Manara began publishing work in several Franco-Belgian comics magazines including Charlie Mensuel, Pilote and L'Écho des savanes.<ref name="lambiek"/> For (A SUIVRE) Manara created the first stories featuring HP and Giuseppe Bergman, which grew to become a large body of work. The character "HP" is based on Manara's friend, the Italian comics creator Hugo Pratt, and a collaborator on some of Manara's most acclaimed work, initially {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} (1983, Indian Summer) and later El Gaucho (1991). Manara also completed two stories working with another of his heroes, Federico Fellini.<ref name="lambiek"/> In his own right Manara has been commended on his skills as a writer, as with the western {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} (1982, The Paper Man).<ref name="comiqueando"/>

Manara's reputation for producing comics that revolve around elegant, beautiful women caught up in unlikely and fantastical erotic scenarios became solidified with work such as {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} (1983, also known as Click or Le Déclic), about a device which renders women helplessly aroused; {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} (1986, Butterscotch), introducing the heroine Miele (Honey) and a sweet-smelling body-paint which makes the wearer invisible; and Candid camera (1988, Hidden Camera), featuring the same protagonist in further explicit adventures. In the following years of combining sequels, original work, and collaborations with noted creators, Manara's production continued in this direction to explore erotic comics themes with an artistic and storytelling expression in a manner considered unique to Manara.

In the U.S. The Ape was serialised in Heavy Metal in the early 1980s and Manara received some exposure through collaborations with Neil Gaiman and other artists.

Later workEdit

In connection with their joint project Quarantasei, in July 2006, Manara designed a helmet for Moto GP rider Valentino Rossi, specifically made for the Italian GP in Mugello. Rossi declared:

<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />

"He has drawn some kind of a mythical history of my life, in cartoons, with some of my heroes such as Steve McQueen, Enzo Ferrari, Jim Morrison, and other characters such as my dog Guido, the chicken Osvaldo and a lot of beautiful women! I really like Milo...he's a person that I have admired for a long time."{{#if:|{{#if:|}}

In 2003, Manara's work featured on the cover of Scottish rock band Biffy Clyro's second studio album The Vertigo of Bliss. Manara also created the artwork for all the singles released from this album.

In October 2006, Manara developed character designs for the animated television series City Hunters. The series, consisting of ten 11-minute episodes, blends traditional animation techniques with modern CGI, to be broadcast across all of Latin America on the FOX network throughout 2006 and 2007.

Manara penciled an X-Men project written by Chris Claremont for Marvel Comics called X-Men: Ragazze in fuga that released in April 2009 in Italy, and was later reprinted in short circulation by Marvel Comics in English as X-Women.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

He was profiled in the 2011 documentary film Derailments (Deragliamenti).<ref name="vogue">"Derailments: A short film based on a famous unmade film and the friendship between Fellini and Manara will be shown in Toronto today and tomorrow". L'Uomo Vogue, September 12, 2011.</ref>

In 2013 he started to do low print variant covers for issues of Marvel comic books. In 2014, Manara's variant cover for Spider-Woman #1 was widely criticized for putting the character in a pose that was deemed over-sexualized and oddly proportioned by many.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Defenders of Manara highlighted that this was a rare collector's variant cover, reflective of his art style for those familiar with him. The piece later sold for over £37,000 at auction in 2020.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
