Lake Como Comic Art Festival 2023 – No Ordinary Swag

CW: Artistic nudity, erotic scenes
The Lake Como Comic Art Festival is a comic-con unlike any others. That includes the swag handed out to festivalgoers. This is not a show that you attend to try to find a manga poster or a foam finger. Instead, many attendees received a portfolio of high-quality prints from several of the artists. The portfolio, which cost 100 euros if you buy it out of pocket, is an annual highlight of a show filled with highlights. Many attendees get the prints signed by the artists.
Here is a rundown of some of the prints in this year’s portfolio.
First up is Artgerm’s Pepper.
Next is a Peach Momoko print.
Italian superstar Milo Manara contributed this piece.
Simon Bisley offered up this.
Terry Moore donated this print of Francine Helena Peters Silver.
Tula Lotay presented this sexy subject.
Kevin Eastman didn’t take the obvious route with his contribution.
And Sean Murphy used his print as an opportunity to promote his upcoming Kickstarter campaign for Zorro. (He also brought some great pages to entice fans.)
