Dark Horse Set to Release Camilla d'Errico's Helmetgirls

Camilla d'Errico is a recognizable name in comics, namely pop surrealism. Her work is definitely unique and awesome, so the fact that Dark Horse is releasing Helmetgirl as a personal look at her art and lifestyle. Both of which fuses manga, steampunk and fine art into an original aggregate.

“She is part of what may be the first art movement in Western history where women are not second-class citizens, but may even have an edge in the mind of the public, especially when it comes to capturing the essence that is woman.”—Juxtapoz

Gargantuan biomechanical headgear adorns beautiful, wide-eyed, and seemingly fragile girls. More than just decoration, the helmets express each girl’s character, needs, and desires. Look deeply into the Helmetgirls’ eyes—they have a story to tell. The first volume Femina and Fauna was released by Dark Horse and has hit multiple printings. The new book hits stores everywhere on February 27, 2013.
