A large-format, limited edition of Laterna Magica, enriched by a numbered silkscreen authenticated by the Archivio Guido Crepax and an artistic plate designed by Lorenzo Mattotti.

Published as a tribute to the first edition of the graphic novel dated 1978, the "Reflections" Limited Edition of Lanterna Magica is numbered from 201-300. Crepax wasn't just an illustrator of quality pictures but above all a designer who created highly detailed settings. This silk-screen displays not only his fatherly love for his Valentina shielded in her dream by a mink, but an obsessive attention to detail that gives the right weight to the figure on the mattress, portraying her alive between the sheets and soft in her pose. With 97 black and white illustrations.

The story, entirely created by Crepax, is an example of very modern graphic design and settings and contexts that are "outside historical dimensions". The first edition was introduced by a text by Gillo Dorfles which is here published in its entirety and repositions the value of the plates of Valentina not only within the creative perspective of Guido Crepax but, above all, within the artistic context of the European scene.
