Benito Jacovitti (1923–1997). Creator of Cocco Bill and other comics characters, noted for dense, surreal, humorous drawings and for a longstanding career in Italian comics. Kamasultra (with Marchesi) is a notable erotic-humor work reissued in hardcover.

Kamasultra, reissued in hardcover, showcases Jacovitti's sunny, uproarious and grotesque erotic imagination. The review praises his naive, surreal portrayals of sex and his acrobatic, limitless line. Once scandalous, the work is now viewed as joyful and comic rather than offensive. The artist's signature humor and the 'Jac-fishbone' alias are noted.
