review 1: Do you like lots of drawings of boobs? Are you a young boy going through puberty? Then you'll love this! There are so many boobs in this! Everywhere! It's very distracting. I can't say that I really get comic books (although I will go see every Marvel movie in existence), but I love the myth of Orpheus. This isn't my favorite interpretation, but it is an interesting one. It's very surreal and very 1960s Italian, and the artwork can be pretty great. The book seems to be after those small glimpses in life that look under the everyday glamor and into a world of eternity, where "the last kings of myth [are] setting out toward exile" and everything is a mystery. Look at this world all you like, but in the end you are still going to be swept away by it with little understanding ... moreof what it is. It's beautiful, sad, and painful fact of life, but there is so much time in existence to cover that up. You better just enjoy the mysteries while you can.Also, I am not sure why this book says it includes "An Explanation of the Afterlife," since that appears to be a legitimate chapter and not a separate work.
review 2: E' difficile parlare di quest'opera così onirica e decisamente fuori dal comune. Un Orfeo e una Euridice del '69, un Orfeo che canta la morte e la vita e cerca di renderci partecipi del dolore. E dico cerco perché questo poema non è proprio riuscito a toccarmi nel profondo così come la grafica che, forse un po' troppo grossolana per i miei gusti personali, non è riuscita a colpirmi con i suoi colori fluo e le linee infinite che compongono le ombre, quasi fossero uno sfogo di Buzzati sulla carta per dar giustizia al protagonista. Fortunatissimo e rivoluzionario alla sua uscita, oggi credo sia nelle nostre librerie per poterne respirare l'aurea, ricollegandolo al periodo rivoluzionario e pensandolo a come un grande esperimento di un grande autore. less

Really fascinating depiction of hell as visioned by Dante. NSFW imagery. Brilliant & lyrical.

If this book were not so mindlessly sexist, I would have given it 5 stars.

oniric and surreal return to the classic orfeo an eurydice legend...

Adolescent (and not in a good way).
