Yes, you do.

There has been a stack of Druuna PC games in the kiddie section of my local Poundland for months. Thought you might be interested.

Haven't a clue about the story order. Sorry.

man i just love that inner fanboy tendency to read some pervy sex-comix and be worrying about what order you should be reading them in. you'll be writing into the letter pages with continuity queries next. you know, was it the same leather g-string in issue 8 as the woman with big breats clearly gave away in issue 6.

er, these comics any good then? you know from an artistic point of view.

Don't be mean. I'm sure there's a website that'll give you some info. So that, y'know, you can follow the story...

I love that inner fanboy tendency to read superhero comics and make fun of someone else for reading "pervy sex-comix".

Genius!

Hi,

I'm an Italian guy, and I'm lurking you for months.
Now I see you're talking about Eleuteri Serpieri's Druuna.
Well, you're guys of good taste!
The right order for Druuna's stories is:
Morbus Graviis
Morbus Graviis 2
Creatura
Carnivora
Mandragora
Aphrodisia

You can find more informations, images, stories at www.druuna.net

P.S.: support italian comics! There's good stuff!

Back in the good old days, one could react to this by asking "have you ever kissed a girl", in the style of William Shatner on Saturday Night Live. At this point, that seems pointless. The very word "girl" is looked upon with incomprehension, as if it were Sanskrit. Or French.

"i love to see da beetchas getin it up da ass!"

The correct spelling my friend is 'GETTING'.
God how I loathe illiteracy.

What's a beetcha?

I'm still kinda lost on this whole thing where "comics readers who are into men in tights beating the shit out of each other = raging studbeasts/comics readers who are into looking at naked women = hopeless sexual failures." Can someone explain the logic? I'm curious.

On another note, there's a part of me that wants to be shocked about the whole "bitches getting it up the ass" thing, but at least the man's honest. I've seen the Druuna stories in random issues of Heavy Metal, and I gotta say, I don't even know why they bother translating them. Maybe in the original Italian, it works, I dunno...but seriously, I have to ask, what the hell are these stories even about? I tried to actually, like, read one once, and it was sorta like porno Aeon Flux or something, but less intelligible. I liked LOOKING at it, but reading the actual words and stuff just made my head hurt. DO people really read them? Isn't it kinda like buying Hustler for the articles?
