Publisher Marketing: Micheluzzi's comics are cinematic and fast-paced; while the early comics are standalone, later comics build upon the setting or situation in which Petra finds herself. The illustrations are detailed and filled with sound effects, creating an atmosphere readers can sink into.-- "Booklist" Review Quotes : One of my favorite cartoonists.--Paul Pope Publisher Marketing : Set during World War I and originally published in serial format from 1977-1982, Petra Chérie follows the adventures of Petra De Karlowitz, "Chérie" to creator Attilio Micheluzzi, who addresses her throughout the book. Born to a Polish businessman and the most beautiful woman in Paris, raised in Canton, China, and now based in neutral Holland, she is a spy who answers only to herself. Evoking but cleverly eschewing stereotypes of the femme fatale, Petra is equally at home in the cockpit of an airplane and behind the wheel of a motorcar. More than that, she is an endlessly fascinating enigma and one of the most iconic characters in Italian comics.
