This is a Signed Limited edition collection of prints.

A portfolio of 8 colour prints, 2 black and white prints and 2 introductory pages, the first of which is numbered and signed, all presented in a presentation box. This portfolio is from an numbered Edition of just 650.

An extremely rare collection of prints published by Aedena in 1985, presented in a lovely box. Aedena published several such collections for artists such as Liberatore, Arno, Geoff Darrow, Rossi, Bati and Moebius. This was a very popular series when it was created and as such these seldom become available.

This box features 10 plates of work by Italian illustrator Liberatore, an artist famed for his often graphic comic style. His work has appeared on many album covers including the cover of Frank Zappa's The Man from Utopia album and punk releases by New York band The Toasters.

Please note all 10 plates are present; however due to the graphic content of some of the images only a selection have been photographed.
  • Artist Biography
    Gaetano (Tanino) Liberatore (born 12 April 1953; Quadri, Italy)
    Gaetano Liberatore, better known as Tanino Liberatore, is an Italian comics author and illustrator. His best known fictional character is RanXerox.

    Born in Quadri (province of Chieti), Liberatore went to high school in Pescara where he met comics artist Andrea Pazienza. He later finished his architectural studies at the University of Rome. From 1974 to 1978, he designed record covers for RCA. In 1978 he met Stefano Tamburini and published his first work in Tamburini's comics magazine Cannibale. In 1978 Rank Xerox was born, a cyborg-punk, ultra strong creature created by Tamburini. Several stand alone hardcover albums ensued, translated in several languages.

    Liberatore's work has been republished in several international comics magazines (Transfert, Métal Hurlant, A Suivre, L'Écho des savanes, Chic). The cover of Frank Zappa's The Man from Utopia album features an illustration by Tanino Liberatore, showing Zappa as RanXerox. In 1984 he drew the album cover for the New York City based ska band, The Toasters, first 7 inch release, Beat Up. During this time he also created a few 'one of a kind' pieces of art work for Toasters frontman Robert "Bucket" Hingley.

    He has also been art director on motion pictures.
