Druuna

Druuna is a fictional character appearing in a series of Italian science fiction and horror comics created by Paolo Eleuteri Serpieri. The character is known for her pronounced sexuality and frequently appears nude or semi-nude in violent and dystopian settings.

The Druuna comic series, which began in 1985, typically depicts a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by a sexually transmitted virus that mutates its victims into monstrous creatures. Druuna, often immune to the virus in some way, is forced to navigate this dangerous landscape while encountering various forms of depravity and struggling for survival.

The comics are noted for their highly detailed artwork, particularly Serpieri's rendering of the female form. The series has been both praised for its artistic merits and criticized for its exploitative content and graphic violence. The themes explored often involve the corruption of power, the collapse of society, and the primal instincts of humanity. The stories frequently feature complex narratives that deal with themes of survival, evolution, and the nature of humanity itself in extreme circumstances.
