303. “Il Perverto” Comic

June 14, 2011

Q: For years I have been looking for the issue with a two page comic of Il Perverto with Giaccardo Giannini which was hilarious in sniffing bicycle seats. It always was hilarious and had it framed in my college dorm.

A: It was a parody movie poster for Zeffirelli’s ‘The Bicycle Seat Thief’, starring a whole bunch of zaftig Italian actresses and Giancarlo Giannini as Il Perverto. Written by Gerald Sussman, art by Rick Meyerowitz. It was in the Feb. ’82 (Sexy) issue. (Thanks, again, to Carol for this answer. More in the Comments.)

I had that on my wall until about 2 years ago, when my partner got sick of it. Not what I'd call a "comic"; it's a parody movie poster for Zeffirelli's 'The Bicycle Seat Thief', starring a whole bunch of zaftig Italian actresses and Giancarlo Giannini as Il Perverto. Written by Gerald Sussman, art by Rick Meyerowitz. It was in the Feb. '82 (Sexy) issue.
