First Book: Click 1: The first Click book tells the story of a rich beautiful youngish woman, Claudia Christiani (somewhat nervous/ashamed of sexuality), her husband Aleardo, a PI named Burt Crow, a Doctor named Fez, Claudia's friend Jeanne, a Count and his granddaughter, and various minor characters. Not a cast of thousands, but certainly crowded. Dr. Fez desires Claudia, but is rebuffed. After learning about a new invention, and believing that Claudia is a little too uncomfortable about her body and her sexuality, Dr. Fez acquires this new invention and uses it on Claudia. Claudia is kidnapped and has a 'receiver' surgically implanted in her brain. A transmitter is used to send signals to the receiver, and the receiver sends signals to certain nerve endings in the brain that cause Claudia to become incredibly horny, depending on the transmitter setting. After Claudia returns from being kidnapped ('Your wife turns out not to have been kidnapped . . .' said by Crow; she says that she fell down and doesn't remember what happened), Dr. Fez uses the device in numerous situations. Claudia is attacked by the transmitter and driven rather uncontrollably horny at the mall while trying on clothes, at a party at her home, while in her bedroom in front of the butler, and at the movie theater in front of her husband. The husband is understandably annoyed when his wife starts sucking the man in the seat next to them in the theater, and then enjoying a good screw with the guy against the theater wall. They go to a doctor, find out about the doctor informs them about his stolen invention, and Claudia goes on vacation (a cruise) until they can find the transmitter. The 'man' followed Claudia. Claudia tries to get further away by going to the mountains, and is followed again. The first book has a solid plot, good characterization, and is well-drawn. Click 2: Claudia is now a reporter (or anchor) on 'SOS Planet.' A strange man calls into the show about finding a transmitter in the Alps that controlled a woman. Soon afterwards, the man turns up at the studio, and the games start again. Specifically, they start in the studio's men's restroom. Claudia ends up forced to ride her bicycle through traffic without pants (or anything else on the lower body). It would appear that Claudia's old husband is trying to get her into trouble. At one point, the man with the transmitter sets it to maximum and points it at the television screen. Claudia then is lost at sea for ten days. After being found, an interesting tape turns up. The second book has a somewhat less solid plot, good characterization, and is well-drawn. The third book in this collection is Click 3. The third book involves a religious figure in the Amazon that believes that he could use the energy of a woman at the edge of orgasm to communicate with aliens. Claudia visits this man and attempts to stop him but becomes entangled in his activities. The third book is about the same level of quality as the second book, which is slightly worse than the first book. The characters have personality, there's a somewhat more solid plot than the second book, and the series continues to be well-drawn. Overall, the collection includes scenes of humiliation, sex, and whipping. ( ) SteveVander6 | Jan 5, 2007 | ▼Published reviews Belongs to SeriesContainsClick 2 by Milo Manara ▼Common Knowledge

Maurilio Manara (/məˈnɑːrə/; born September 12, 1945), known professionally as Milo Manara, is an Italiancomic book writer and artist.
Career[edit]
After architecture and painting studies, he made his comics debut in 1969 drawing for Genius, a Fumetti neri series of pocket books from publisher Furio Vanio in the wake of the popularity of Kriminal and Satanik.[1] In 1970, he illustrated for the magazine Terror, and starting in 1971 drew the erotic series Jolanda de Almaviva written by Francisco Rubino, issued in small format by publisher Erregi. Joining the youth magazine Il Corriere dei Ragazzi, he worked with Rubino, Carlo Barbieri, Mino Milani and Silverio Pisú.[2] With Pisú Manara launched the publications Telerompo and Strategia della Tensione in 1974 and the series Alessio, Il Borghese Rivoluzionario, and with writer Mino Milani the series La parola alla giuria in 1975. Manara and Pisú later went on to publish Lo Scimmiotto (The Ape) along the story of the Chinese Monkey King in Alter Linus in 1976, and with Alfredo Castelli, L'Uomo delle Nevi (The Snowman) in 1978.[2]
During this period Manara began publishing work in several Franco-Belgian comics magazines including Charlie Mensuel, Pilote and L'Écho des savanes.[1] For (A SUIVRE) Manara created the first stories featuring HP and Giuseppe Bergman, which grew to become a large body of work. The character 'HP' is based on Manara's friend, the Italian comics creator Hugo Pratt, and a collaborator on some of Manara's most acclaimed work, initially Tutto ricominciò con un'estate indiana (1983, Indian Summer) and later El Gaucho (1991). Manara also completed two stories working with another of his heroes, Federico Fellini.[1] In his own right Manara has been commended on his skills as a writer, as with the western L'uomo di carta (1982, The Paper Man).[2]
Manara's reputation for producing comics that revolve around elegant, beautiful women caught up in unlikely and fantastical erotic scenarios became solidified with work such as Il Gioco (1983, also known as Click or Le Déclic), about a device which renders women helplessly aroused; Il Profumo dell'invisibile (1986, Butterscotch), introducing the heroine Miele (Honey) and a sweet-smelling body-paint which makes the wearer invisible; and Candid camera (1988, Hidden Camera), featuring the same protagonist in further explicit adventures. In the following years of combining sequels, original work, and collaborations with noted creators, Manara's production continued in this direction to explore erotic comics themes with an artistic and storytelling expression in a manner considered unique to Manara.
In the U.S. The Ape was serialised in Heavy Metal in the early 1980s and Manara received some exposure through collaborations with Neil Gaiman and other artists.
Later work[edit]

In connection with their joint project Quarantasei, in July 2006, Manara designed a helmet for Moto GP rider Valentino Rossi, specifically made for the Italian GP in Mugello. Rossi declared:
'He has drawn some kind of a mythical history of my life, in cartoons, with some of my heroes such as Steve McQueen, Enzo Ferrari, Jim Morrison, and other characters such as my dog Guido, the chicken Osvaldo and a lot of beautiful women! I really like Milo...he's a person that I have admired for a long time.'

In 2003, Manara's work featured on the cover of Scottish rock band Biffy Clyro's second studio album The Vertigo of Bliss. Manara also created the artwork for all the singles released from this album.
On October 2006, Manara developed character designs for the animated television series City Hunters. The series, of ten 11-minute episodes, blends traditional animation techniques with modern CGI, to be broadcast across all of Latin America on the FOX network throughout 2006 and 2007.
Manara penciled an X-Men project written by Chris Claremont for Marvel Comics called X-Men: Ragazze in fuga that released on April 2009 in Italy, and was later reprinted in short circulation by Marvel Comics in English as X-Women.[3]
In 2013 he started to do low print variant covers for issues of Marvel comic books.
He was profiled in the 2011 documentary film Derailments (Deragliamenti).[4]
