newsstand is the latest edition of the Newspaper , which takes a baptism this week one of my new little series, "The Tales of Grandpa Nedo wrong."
When Father Stefano Gorla , new director of the Catholic weekly magazine for boys, asked me to write some "glides", as known in drafting the self-contained stories, at first I thought of giving up. I've written several in the past and I've always done with a background of suffering. Being able to come up with something sufficiently unique in the limited space of six to eight pages is not an easy undertaking. Not having the space to introduce unusual situations or environments, we always end up riding issues all too well known. Sometimes I could not find the idea good, nice, a bit 'different from the usual and this has given me great satisfaction. But on other occasions I have to confess that I am lying con rassegnazione sui cliché più scontati, e temevo di trovarmi troppo spesso in questa condizione, dovendone scrivere ancora. Finché mi è venuta l'idea: se devo sfruttare i topoi narrativi più risaputi, perché non farlo rileggendo a modo mio i racconti più conosciuti in assoluto, cioè le fiabe classiche?
Ed ecco nonno Nedo, anziano bizzarro e creativo che quando deve raccontare una fiaba al nipotino prima di dormire, lo fa a modo suo.
“ Biancaneve e sette nani” nella scombinata fantasia di nonno Nedo è diventata così “Biancanana e i sette spilungoni”. A disegnarla è stato chiamato quel geniaccio e gran maestro della matita che è Luca Salvagno , momentaneamente in libera uscita dallo jacovittiano Cocco Bill che porta avanti da par suo sulle stesse pagine da più d'un decennio. E raramente mi happened to be so satisfied with my own script was created.
Luca did a wonderful job! The genius of a layout De Luca served by a wealth of compositional Landolfi in modern salsa and with stroke and very personal and inimitable style! A feast for the eyes and a healthy massage to the gray matter! After reading the story, you want to go back to "study" the cartoons, one by one to find all the goodies that we have sown evil author clodiense!
There are already three other "wrong Tales" ready for publication in April and May "Ali Baby-old girl and 40" with drawings by Allegretti , "Beauty in the clumsy web" created by Ripa , and "The bulla and the beast" again with Salvagno. By coincidence, just today I sent the texts of four stories that reinterpret in my own way "Little Red Riding Hood," "Puss in Boots," "Hansel and Gretel" and "Cinderella."
This number de the Newspaper has of course also other reasons of interest: a new episode of Logan Gray of Vietti and Bastianoni , a hat-trick of funny gags Paky of White and Olivieri , la seconda puntata del fantascientifico “Cibyrus”, opera postuma del grande Toni Pagot disegnata da Genzianella e soprattutto l'inserto G fumetti che, in occasione del 25 aprile, ripropone la prima parte delle “Storie di Resistenza” di Renzo Calegari .
If you like good comics, you would be a crime not to pay 1 euro and 90 for so much of God!
