Necron is the title character of an Italian horror/ adult comics miniseries published between 1981 and 1985.
Necron debuted in January 1981, published by editor Edifumetto; the authors, writer Mirka Martini and illustrator Roberto Raviola, signed the comics with the pen names Ilaria Volpe and Magnus. [1] Necron was initially intended to be a single episode, but the publisher convinced the authors to make a whole miniseries. [1] [2] The series closed after 11 episodes in November 1981, then the character returned in a twelfth out of series episode in 1983, and finally in two special issues in June 1985. [3] During the years, the series was republished and several anthologic books were released. [3]
The comic, a sexy-parody of Frankenstein, features the adventures of the nymphomaniac and necrophiliac mad doctor Frieda Boher and of her slave-lover Necron, a strong, well endowed and cannibal humanoid assembled with fragments of corpses. [3] [4] [5]
The series was critically appreciated for its visual style, different from the previous works of Magnus, here characterized for a more clean and elegant pencil mark, [1] [6] so to be paired to the Franco-Belgian ″ ligne claire″. [1] [5] [7]
