Cine-Fotoromanzi

L'Assoluto Naturale

The Italians call them cine-fotoromanzi, a comic book which adapts a movie by using stills and frames from the movie. Here's an example, from the late 1960s Italian magazine CINESEX: an adaptation of L'Assoluto Naturale (1969), or She and He, starring Laurence Harvey and Sylva Koscina. Apparently it has a cool soundtrack by Ennio Morricone. From a Japanese Sylva Koscina tribute site, which is pretty cool if you dig 1960s era Euro-babes.
