The Evil Women of Fumetti, top 5



Boom, boom, boom, boom, Groovy Agers! Recently a reader requested info about "nasty, one-dimensionally evil (and ideally, though not required, super violent and sadistic) females." At first I started to write about my mom, but then realized the request was probably fumetti-related, so here are my top five Italian bitches, in no particular order:

1. Candida (from the series Candida La Marchesa)



Paris, year 1910. When Marquis Pierre Di Rambuillet dies, the only things his wife Nadine inherits are his mansion and his huge debts. Fortunately Nadine soon gets a little help from her friend Candida, a masked dominatrix from Parisian brothels. What Nadine needs, Candida will get, even if it means committing robbery and murder. Why? Because Nadine and Candida are actually the same person, she has lead a double life for years. In the name of money and luxury she performs merciless acts of violence upon her victims, and also cruelly harasses her maid Jeanette, although the girl mostly likes it. Candida is one of the most despicable main characters in a continuing fumetti series, that's for sure, here is pic of Nadine holding her pet orangutang Phallus:




2. Maya De Rosales, The Mantis of Panama (from the series Jolanka)



Once upon a time in Spain, about three hundred years ago, there were two young lovers, Jolanka and Hidalgo. They didn't live happily ever after, though, thanks to an evil, bisexual noblewoman Maya De Rosales, who had the hots for Jolanka and thus framed Hidalgo for a crime he didn't commit. After Hidalgo's death Jolanka becomes a pirate captain in order to avenge him. Maya De Rosales is in many ways a very typical fumetti bad girl: rich, sadistic and lustful. Yet she is one of the more memorable ones simply because she is vital to the story of this fumetti, without her nothing would've ever happened. Jolanka becomes a pretty twisted character herself, embalming her dead lover and having sex with women in his name, but she never surpasses the wanton cruelty of Maya. Here's a pic of Jolanka and Maya sharing a rare tender moment, with the help of a strap-on:



3. Thelma and Sophie (from the series Pig)



These two are extremely deviant nymphomaniacs (that's Sophie on the pic above). First they rampage through Pig #27-30, orchestrating multiple rapes via flying penis. Their second rampage, in Pig #36-41, is slightly less impressive, as they mostly get raped themselves and die in the end. But still, these girls are literally without any redeeming qualities, just look how they molest this poor man:



4. Mandracca (from the series Playcolt)



I will do a separate post about her´.

5. Madame Brutal (from the series Goldrake)



I will do several separate posts about her.

If only all fumetti females were this cool... *sigh*

Great stuff, Jaako! I look forward to reading about the remaining two.

CANDIDA is one of the few fumetti series I've wanted to sample but haven't gotten around to yet (YRA and ALICE are two others).

AndyDecker said...

I can understand that you don´t include Zora or Cimiteria, who often are more of the tragic heroine - when they aren´t maiming someone :-) - but no Frau Murder?

Jaakko said...

Curt,
Candida is the best of those three, Yra is decent enough, but Alice sucks ass.

Andy,
well, Frau Murder is a vampire, so she's kinda supposed to be evil. The ladies on my list have no such excuses, they do bad things because they genuinely like it, and that kind of undiluted nastiness is what I love best.

That's wonderfully crazy stuff! As a big fan of comix, I thank you for having expanded my horizons a bit more.

Phantom of Pulp said...

Jaako, you've outdone yourself.

Keep this women without redeeming qualities cumming.

It's the ones who have some redeeming qualities who bug me.

Jaakko said...

Thanks, Miguel and Phantom, and a special thanks to Polaris, who gave me the spark to do this post :-)

Miguel Rosa said...

Can't wait for your post on Mandracca. She seems like a sinister, sexy version of DC's Zatanna.

SevenLegion said...

Maldrakka seems to be a joke about word Mandrake and italian word "vacca" (cow).
Non very significative but it sounds pretty rude, anyway. I like! :)

Basso Alto said...

Mandrakka is rather a word joke where Mandrake is joined to 'Baldracca' (bitch).

Curt, I can honestly say that I'd never heard of Fumetti prior to this, or that such a type of comic existed! Kind of reminds me of some Italian horror filmmakers of the 60s and 70s. Sounds like some twisted stuff!
