Hot or Not? Crepax Valentina nel Metro Cabinet

022808_cartooncred.jpgComi-Con isn't until July, but here's the Crepa Valentina credenza that pays homage to graphic artist Guido Crepax and his most famous character 'Valentina' that debuted in 1965. We're a little doped up from all the Nyquil we've been chugging these past three days, so we're having a hard time making a call on this one...so, do us a favor: take the survey after the jump!

The Crepa Valentina Credenza is available from Moss.

Cover it with some of David Mack's Kabuki panels, and I'd be all over it ... I'm such a geek.

I voted "meh" but I'm high on NyQuil too.

I don't dislike it. But I wouldn't want to live with it personally.

Love love it but don't have the cash money. I'm a comic fangirl and adore this idea. Think I'll try my hand at some DIY decoupage on that old nightstand drawer set of mine to get this effect.

I have been in love with this piece for like ever!

I agree with beelzabean, this would be easy to approximate (and personalize) for way less than $5500.

Love it. I have a dresser I want to repaint and I've been looking around for inspiring pieces and there's so little out there. I don't want to strip it and stain my piece; I want some more color to stand against my white renter's walls. I've looked at some stencils, some blik like decals, but now I'm thinking about decoupage too.

Argh! I had this idea. There aren't many design lovers into comics (at least not that I've met).

Can I love it but NOT be willing to pay $5500.00 for it?
