		This shape of comics served as a foundation for the development of the genre but, at the same time, it also retained its uniqueness and continues to be published in its short newspaper form to this day.
		Furthermore, the comic made use of visual short-cuts to emphasize certain stereotypical qualities of characters, for example, a presidential candidate would have a fake smile fixed on his face, regardless of what he was saying.
		When discussing the function of comics it is impossible to ignore their significant impact on the evolution of the "culture of images." It is noticeable that modern-day communication between people seems to depend a lot on ideographic signs.

	Horrordvds.com - Baba Yaga DVD review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Valentina begins to recognize the various threats Baba Yaga poses to her, and her life begins to drift into paranoia.
		Based on the influential comics of Guido Crepax, this is a rarity, a film that fully captures the essence of comic book themes and presentations.
		Not only is the visual comic book representation spot on, but the way it presents the story is also in a manner very true to comic book lore.

	History of Comics and Comic Art (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In the first decades of its life, comic books were essentially humoristic, and this is the explanation for the name they carry to date in English language.
		The outcome of this process was that the birth of a typically American comic was born: the super-hero, with Siegel and Shuster's Superman.
		Comic books are not more only for kids; they grew up and sophisticated themselves in unexpected ways.

	Baba Yaga
		A true master of the adult comic book medium, Crepax made his initial mark on the field during the 1960s with a run of innovative and sexy comic strips.
		Valentina is both intrigued and scared by this encounter, and while she cannot fathom the motives of this mature matron, she finds it near impossible to resist her charms.
		For one, there are some artistic touches that involve the use of actual comic panels included by the director in the final version of the film, an interesting touch that truly delineates its association to the field of comic art.

	[No title]
		These are the stylized dreams of Valentina, who is sometimes the victim and sometimes the aggressor, which punctuate and comment upon the hyperstylized reality of Corrado Farina's supernatural erotic adaptation of the works of Guido Crepax, BABA YAGA (1973).
		Baba Yaga fondles, and puts a curse on, one of Valentina's still cameras which, when aimed and snapping a photo, jams a motion picture camera and eventually causes one of her regular models to collapse during a photo shoot.
		As Valentina photographs the various antiques and curios in the dusty attic, she discovers a strange, long-haired doll with piercing blue eyes wearing a bondage outfit which she is given as a gift to "protect her from harm".

	Baba Yaga
		This first comes out when Valentina snaps a photo of Arno at work, and the movie camera the director is using jams the moment she presses the shutter button on hers.
		What finally convinces Valentina to start using her backup equipment for a while is the outcome of her efforts to document some kind of street protest on the front steps of a cathedral downtown.
		Valentina apparently isn’t all that swift, though, because after all that, she still doesn’t see what a bad idea it is to accept when Baba Yaga gives her Annette the Bondage Doll as a present, claiming that it will keep her safe from all harm if she keeps it with her constantly.

		Valentina was, in the artist's own words : "the incarnation of the actress Louise Brooks, the masochistic dreamer, the all powerful photographer, the most beautiful androgyne with the most beautiful backside in the world." Those familiar with Crepax' works will agree that he did indeed know how to draw a beautiful backside !
		The Valentina stories are set in Milan, and the adventures and storylines are often as psychedelic as they are extravagant.
		One of the unique features of Valentina, was that she in fact aged as the years went by.

	DVD Verdict Review - Baba Yaga
		Valentina, shocked at this clumsy advance, points out that she is naked under her clothes, so there's no place to put the garter clip.
		The comic books it is based on succeed through spare wisps of ink that tell a provocative, languidly hallucinatory tale.
		In the comics, Baba was an androgynous wench with an overbearing physical presence.

		I think it was by virtue of the fact that I have grey hair, like Ross does in the comic book form, and there was pretty explosive scenes, which Ross in the comic books he's always often got steam coming out of his ears and that kind of stuff.
		There was a reason that film hadn't been done for a long time is because the two that wrote the book, one of them being the Colonel that led that battle, Hal Moore, and the other one being the Times writer, the UPI writer I guess he was.

		This said, there are some clever touches, like a transparent edit between Valentina shouting at the newsvendor and at Giovanni and the frame of the shot that sees Stefano arrive whilst Valentina's assailant retreats along the other corridor unobserved.
