Necron (comics)

Necron is the title character of an Italian horror/adult comics miniseries published between 1981 and 1985.

Necron debuted in January 1981, published by editor Edifumetto; the authors, writer Mirka Martini and illustrator Roberto Raviola, signed the comics with the pen names Ilaria Volpe and Magnus.

[1] Necron was initially intended to be a single episode, but the publisher convinced the authors to make a whole miniseries.

[3] The comic, a sexy-parody of Frankenstein, features the adventures of the nymphomaniac and necrophiliac mad doctor Frieda Boher and of her slave-lover Necron, a strong, well endowed and cannibal humanoid assembled with fragments of corpses.

[3][4][5] The series was critically appreciated for its visual style, different from the previous works of Magnus, here characterized for a more clean and elegant pencil mark,[1][6] so to be paired to the Franco-Belgian ″ligne claire″.
