The panels are claustrophobic, each pane revealing clues as to how she lives, as well as the broader implications of a world which propagates such poverty. The intimacy garnered in this opening scene does not rest solely on Druuna’s attire (or lack thereof). The first page divided into three panels, readers are guided around Druuna’s body, viewing it from the front, rear, and portrait as she lies in bed, reading a book. Morbus Gravis I begins in the dormitory of a young woman name Druuna. A masterwork of both art and world-building, Druuna’s adventures confine readers in a dank and fascinating abyss of beauty, horror, and the strange mutations in-between. Serpieri scores his tale of tragedy with both sweeping vistas and fleeting moments of pleasure and pain. An unlikely heroine, she persists through both instinct and compassion. Her story is one of extremes, with captured moments of love and tenderness matched tenfold by eras of darkness, violence, and uncertainty. Her story is one of terror and strangeness, with boundaries as fluid as they are vast. Split into two volumes, Morbus Gravis introduces Serpieri’s recurring heroine, Druuna, and lays the framework for her further saga of trans-dimensional cosmic horror adventures. Paolo Eleuteri Serpieri’s Morbus Gravis I is an erotic horror science fiction graphic novel.
