Bøker utgitt av Floating World Comics

Hailed in Europe, Guido Buzzelli has been called "the Michaelangelo of monsters," "the Goya of comics," and "the patron saint of all Italian cartoonists."A pioneer active from the 1950s-1980s, today virtually unknown in English, Buzzelli horrifies, fascinates, and provokes with his unique blend of surrealism and dynamism. Displaying a range of influences from Westerns and science fiction to Rennaisance art and futurism, Buzzelli's stories are a delightful, quasi-postmodern mishmash of high and low, showing an intricate hand and stylish narrative skill.This final volume includes Guido Buzzelli's full-color science fiction epic Zasafir, A Star For Ganymede, Resurrection, and the previously unpublished Incomplete Zasafir. The volume features his earliest masterpiece, The Revolt of the Wretched. This satirical examination of class war is credited for inventing the independent Italian graphic novel.Translated by Jamie Richards. Introduction by Valerio Stivè.

"Annie and Elise meet at a coffee shop in a part of town they are watching change for the worst. Despite the fact that Annie is leaving for Vietnam in a week, they decide to honor their instant connection for what it is: a little unhinged, possibly doomed but full of a weirdly familiar and addictive beauty they can't quite put their fingers on" --

After creating the first independent graphic novel in Italy, the award-winning illustrator reinvents the genre comic.The second of three volumes collecting Guido Buzzelli's stories in English for the first time, this volume showcases two science fiction tales that turn the canon upside down, penetrating myth and tearing it apart. HP is a hallucinatory, Lovecraftian locomotive, an acrid parody of Italian westerns; while the alchemical retro-future of Morganna performs an autopsy of modern life's horrors.These fantastic and grotesque stories demonstrate why Buzzelli was called "the Goya of comics". One of Europe's most praised comics auteurs, Buzzelli Collected Works are the perfect introduction to his masterful skill and subversive art.
