Just finished this one, and found it a fine album, indeed. It's by consistently-excellent artist Ana Miralles and writer Emilio Ruiz.

For me, it was a pretty fascinating little 'time-capsule look' in to the life a major Hollywood star (Ava Gardner), her notably iconoclastic nature, the social norms of the 50's, an obsessive overload of fans, the shamelessly aggressive press, and of course, a brief snapshot of Rio de Janeiro, itself.

The unstated joke above is that Ava's agent Dave is thoroughly in to men, which works rather perfectly in the long run, as just-about any hombre swinging a 'third leg' is trying to make a play for her, somehow, some way. XD

Okay, Ava scared me a bit right at the end, lol.

(no idea how long these images will last given Imgur's hugely flaky nature, but what the heck, let's do FULL DETAIL with these)
Whups, oh yeah-- my main point here was actually that I LOVED how well Miralles both depicted and handled the night-life imagery of Rio in a realistic sense. I don't quite have words for it at the moment, but... I find there's a sort of 'clarity' there, if that makes sense.
