Storie brevi

Rate this book
In un unico volume l'intera produzione di formato breve di Andrea Pazienza, dalle microstorie formate da una tavola singola, fino ad arrivare a quelle di una lunghezza massima di 3 tavole. Una produzione enorme, apparsa negli anni Settanta e Ottanta sulle tante riviste con cui Andrea Pazienza collaborava e che spesso contribuiva a creare. Si va dalle riviste che hanno fatto la storia del fumetto italiano, come "Cannibale", "Linus", "Frigidaire", "Alter", "II Male", "Tango", "Zut" fino ad arrivare alle fanzine meno conosciute che nascevano e si disfacevano dopo poco in quegli anni. Storie apparse una volta sola e mai più pubblicate, storie diventate da tempo introvabili come "L'investigatore senza nome" e "La Prolisseide. Tutti gli uomini importanti che mi hanno conosciuto", e storie completamente inedite.

About the author

Andrea Pazienza

98 books60 followers
Andrea Pazienza debuted in 1977 on the magazine Alteralter with his first comic story, The Extraordinary Adventures of Pentothal, the surrealistic and psychedelic story of an alter ego named after the sedative Penthothal. He subsequently published several short stories on Cannibale, Il Male, and Frigidaire, of which he was one of the founders. Pazienza developed a personal body of work, alternating between playful comic cartooning—at times politically charged–and much more elaborate, dark, disturbing graphic novels, often dealing with drugs and wanton violence, with a scattering of black humor throughout. In 1980, he created the character Zanardi and collaborated with the magazines Corto Maltese and Comic Art, while also producing movie and theatre posters, scene designs, record covers, and advertising material. He was extremely prolific through the 1980s, penning hundreds of single-panel cartoons as well as longer, intricate stories. Pompeo, his last graphic novel, depicts the gradual downfall of a heroin addict (a largely autobiographical character), is generally considered his masterwork. He died of heroin overdose in 1988, at the age of 32.

Troppo slegate, alcune buttate lì senza contesto, ma certe perle fanno sì che ne valga la pena.
