Roberto Baldazzini

Roberto Baldazzini (born August 18, 1958) is a graphic artist who specializes in writing and illustrating full-color erotic comic books.

He received a formal education in commerce, after which he took several art courses and, in 1980, he founded "Pinguino", for which he created the character Ronnie Fumoso, based on material that was written by Daniele Brolli. His first professional work was his illustration of Brolli’s "Alan Hassad" series, which was published in "Oriental Express" magazine in 1980. Since then, he has created numerous other characters, has created advertising art, and has been featured in "Penthouse Comix" and many other well-known publications [http://lambiek.net/artists/b/baldazzini_r.htm] .

Although some of his work is executed as simple line drawings that he sometimes colors, others--especially, his pinups--are realistic, fully detailed illustrations or paintings.

"Casa Howhard"

His works include "Casa Howhard", which tells anecdotes about the sexual adventures of an apartment full of shemale residents. Everyone in the building, including the janitor, is a transsexual, who has a feminine face, breasts, a womanly derriere, and male genitals. Readers seem either to appreciate the art and to enjoy the stories or to find the former too simple and the latter too silly. The comic book is introduced by Moebius, who suggests that its characters exhibit a “guiltless innocence,” which creates a sense of fun rather than of debauchery.

Casa Howhard was followed with 2 sequels: Casa Howhard 2 and Casa Howhard 3.

"Bayba: the 110 BJ’s"

Baldazzini has also written and illustrated "Bayba: the 110 BJ’s", in which the title character, a nymphomaniac transsexual sex slave who lives to please men, transforms herself from a slender youth with a boyish figure into a well-endowed, womanly transsexual by applying a high-tech hormonal crème to her chest and then sets out on a self-imposed mission to satisfy as many men as she can by any means possible. Other than their genitals, her partners are seldom shown and rarely speak. When their faces are shown, they have the appearance of anthropomorphic pigs.

Bayba undergoes a sex-change operation and then enters the Ultimate Bitch contest, the cash prize for the winning of which is large enough that it would allow her to acquire her “freedom” to select her own sexual companions. To win, a contestant must break the previously established record by sexually satisfying 110 men in a single day by performing fellatio on them. However, she does not limit herself only to this method of satisfying her partners, and the comic book contains several scenes that have BDSM themes.
