Milo Manara

I'd post examples, but I can't find any truly work-safe.

I really like this guy's work. Okay, fine, yes, he draws the nude female form quite beautifully, but I think in general he's got a really strong and well-rendered art style. It's got an elegance one doesn't often see in comics. I just wish there was more "mainstream" work available since I'd like to not come off like a total pervert for having an entire shelf of porn.

Heh, I've got a Manara where he basically retells Gulliver's travels... except it's a very attractive young lady (nude of course) instead of Gulliver... the part where she ends up in the land of small people was interesting to say the least.
