Medical Women are Truly HEROINES!

Italian comics (or "Fumetti") artist Milo Manara is noted for his beautiful (often nude) women...
...though not in his work for America's PG-13 Marvel Comics!
But these last few weeks, living in an Italy under total lockdown, Manara has started taking a very different approach to portraying women...

Rather than the usual coquettishly-posed, minimally-clad examples of male lust, he's discovered a different appreciation of the female form.
Posting on Facebook, he expresses his gratitude to doctors and nurses, ambulance drivers and techs, policewomen, delivery workers and others who perform essential services during the pandemic.
In terms of style, it's still recognizably his work, but now has a far different focus.
Check out his FaceBook gallery HERE.
BONUS: There's a "motion comics" version of this superb illustration...

Manara's only Marvel Comics work (besides covers like the Black Widow one above)!
Scripted by long-time X-Men writer Chris Claremont
