Many thanks to all the excellent international artists that made excellent artwork over an iconic character such as Valentina by Guido Crepax on her 50th Anniversary and to Caterina Crepax and Gary Groth for their support.
Special thanks to my wife and princess Paula Fonseca and to my muse kitty Ilvie.
Due to the visit of Caterina Crepax to Porto, I've asked Spanish artists Pedro Espinosa and Fidel Martiñez Nadal and Argentine artist Ed to pay a tribute to Valentina by Guido Crepax in the city of Porto as a souvenir to his daughter.
Special thanks to them aswell.
