Manara's variant cover for Marvel's Spider-Woman #1 provoked controversy

Maurilio "Milo" Manara (born 12th September 1945) is an Italian comic artist who has been active in the industry since 1969. He is best known for his erotic fantasy stories, including the Click series, the Giuseppe Bergman series, Butterscotch, Hidden Camera and Gullivera. Much of his work has been translated into English editions, and his story Trip to Tulum was reprinted in the pages of Fleetway's monthly anthology Crisis. His work has also featured heavily in the American adult comics magazine Heavy Metal (as well as in its French progenitor magazine, Metal Hurlant). In a seemingly somewhat unlikely diversification from his usual type of material, in 2009 he penciled an X-Men story for America's Marvel Comics, scripted by Chris Claremont, and in 2013 began drawing variant covers for various Marvel comics. Less surprisingly, the X-Men book was titled "X-Women", and the variant covers have tended to feature largely female characters...

Manara was inducted into the Harvey Awards Jack Kirby Hall of Fame in 1998.
