A comic book artist in coronavirus-ravaged Italy has crafted a set of drawings paying homage to the real-life female heroes of the pandemic.

Milo Manara, 74, is spending his time in self-isolation in the hard-hit Veneto region drawing women on the front-lines of the fight against the virus, including medical professionals, police officers and sanitation workers.

“I thought of all those who were most threatened, but also most indispensable, like cleaning ladies,” he told the Washington Post.

“I wanted to make them feel less forgotten.”

In one drawing captioned “Courage,” a seemingly exhausted nurse leans against a wall, the imprint of a protective mask on her face.

Other illustrations depict an Italian police officer, a sidewalk sweeper, a delivery driver on a bicycle and a cashier at a grocery store — all sporting protective face coverings.

Manara is mainly known for his erotic comics dating back to the early 1970s, but has also done work for DC Comics and Marvel Comics — the latter of which sparked controversy because of a cover of Spider-Woman that some deemed hyper-sexualized.

“Of course these are all female characters, as my career has been chiefly dedicated to the celebration of women’s beauty,” he said of his new work.

“In this case, though, I felt it was time to celebrate other virtues, like courage, selflessness and altruism. I somehow wanted to pay off my debt.”
