Dans ce désert de glace, lieu d’exil et de mort, brûlent parfois de violentes passions. La révolte, la jeunesse, l’amour, s’embrasent et se consument dans cette oeuvre poignante d’Attilo Micheluzzi... Gabriel Kovalensky, Comte Lazarev, engagé dans la révolution de 1917 du côté des bolcheviks, échappera-t-il à son destin ?
Attilio Micheluzzi (1930-1990) was an Italian comics artist. Born in Umag, now in Croatia but at the time part of Italy, Micheluzzi graduated in architecture and worked for several years in Africa. Returned to Italy in the early 1970s, he started collaborating with the comics magazine Corriere dei Piccoli, often under the pen name Igor Arzbajeff. Among his works the adventure series Petra Chérie and Johnny Focus, as well as the science fiction series Roy Mann, with scripts by Tiziano Sclavi. Napoli Comicon, the second biggest comic festival in Italy, has held the 'Attilio Micheluzzi Awards' honouring comics creators annually since 1998.
Una superba storia del maestro Attilio Micheluzzi. Un romanzo grafico di una storia tragica, ma che si legge come un libro d’avventura di Verne, quasi che fosse un Michele Strogoff dei nostri tempi. Davvero una bella storia di amore, sofferenza, rivoluzione e azione, come sempre impreziosita, oltre che da una sceneggiatura lineare, dal tratto unico e limpido del Maestro di Umago.
