A as absent from the stand. I have been all over the Friday and Monday afternoon due to family commitments (to accompany the child to the ER for a broken plaster al trapezio della mano destra che si è procurato durante un allenamento di pallanuoto. L'ho sempre detto che lo sport fa male!) e professionali (la paginetta satirica per Panoramitalia ). Sabato, poi, in mattinata ho fatto una scappata al Museo del Fumetto per seguire la presentazione della collana toppiana de il Giornalino (vedi alla lettera T), e nel pomeriggio ho passato un po' di tempo con i collaboratori e il direttore del settimanale paolino, sempre al MUF, per incontrare i giovani lettori e scambiare qualche nice chatting with colleagues. Sunday evening, I was busy with the gathering of cartoonists (see the letter F). I apologize to all those who came to seek me find me to stand without, and those who have been forced to revise two or maybe three times ... and thank you for your patience and loyalty! B as buccellato and brigidini, typical and tasty local specialties to bring to the family at the end of the show. The brigidini really are a specialty of Lamporecchio, but never fail to stand in Piazza Napoleone and therefore are part of the tradition. Al Shop buccellato usually also takes the cake with herbs ... but when I went there this year, had already finished! Grrr ...
C as "Lost Class". Were many (starting with adoration Margaret referred to letter M) to ask if there will be a sequel to the series appeared on the Newspaper with beautiful designs of Frosi , and how it will end. Although the "Finish" affixed at the end of the first eight episodes gave rise to some concern (although dispelled, the same issue, the editorial director), obviously the series will have a (double) followed for a total of sixteen other episodes. To know how it turns out instead ... wait and see, otherwise what fun is it?
D as Don Zauker , the lucky character Pagani e Caluri . Sono stati in molti, allo stand, a chiederci dove lo vendevano. Per fortuna la Double Shot era di fronte a noi, così non dovevamo neppure sprecare fiato: bastava indicare.
E come esaurite. La domenica sera, come sempre, le copie del long seller Dante - Inferno portate a Lucca. Per fortuna Guiducci è tornato in fiera il lunedì mattina e ha potuto portarne altre, cosicché quest'anno nessun lettore è andato via a mani vuote.
F come fumettisti a convegno. C'è stato grande fermento in rete, prima di Lucca, e il Muf ha gentilemte offerto una delle sue sale per ospitare un incontro tra fumettisti ansiosi di confrontarsi e di (ri)provare a mettere in piedi un'associazione-club-sindacato che li rappresenti e porti avanti le loro istanze. Tutte da scandagliare, individuare, decidere. Il filmato dell'incontro (doveva durare due ore, ma si è protratto per più di tre: we cartoonists are lone workers; hard to make us shut up when we have the opportunity to meet and talk about our work!) is visible here
G as Great Guinigi . This year have been assigned: for best long story to "The Gate of Zion" to Walter Chen , Edizioni BD, Milan, 2010; for best short story the collection "The fixed idea" of Arthur de Pins and others, BM Edizioni, Roma 2010; for the best comic serial, ex aequo, to "Kick-Ass" of Mark Millar and John Romita Jr , 1-8 records collected in two volumes, Panini, Modena 2010, and "Pluto" by Naoki Urasawa , 8 volumes, Panini, Modena 2009-2010; for the best publishing initiative dedicated to Stephen Bean, and Little Annie Fanny "by Harvey Kurtzman and Will Elder , Volume I (1962-1970), Magic Press, Rome 2010 ; for the best single author to Manuele Fior for "Five thousand kilometers per second," Coconino Press-Fandango, Bologna-Roma 2010, for the best designer in Darwyn Cooke Richard Stark's "Parker - The Hunter", Edizioni BD, Milan, 2009; for the best writer in Carlos Trillo for "The legacy of the Colonel," with drawings by Lucas Varela , Coniglio Editore, Rome 2009, as Teacher Cartoon in Jiro Taniguchi .
H as Hotel. The Martini & Toninelli of Livorno ... that is my house! In recent years I have had the pleasure of welcoming in the days of the show, friends Sergio Rossi, Paolo Guiducci with son Thomas, and Lori Cantarelli, with final dinner at which the aggregation "Dada Boys" Aegisthus Seriacopi and Roberto Musso. This year, for the various commitments of the usual guests, Loris has received only of the usual service bed & breakfast , and the only guests at the dinner were Robert and Aegisthus. We still managed to take out the pan in three of eight slices of bacon & zucchini lasagne squiiiiiisite prepared by Patrick. And the laughs are not lacking: most amusing topic of the evening, the relationship between Roberto and horror movies.
I as irreverent, irresistible treasure. I'm speaking of "The New Adventures of Pope Benedict," the little book of Francesco Matteuzzi published by Dada Publisher laicissima unconsciousness. The booklet, packed with fun editorial style in imitation of a missal, it only costs 10 €. Francis can not draw, and in this context it rightly slams, but his lines are withering. Highly recommended to all, including Catholics, at least those able to smile at themselves. It should not be few. Ultimately, it is known that the priests are the first and the most pitiless good at telling jokes on a religious theme. Catholics abstain instead fundamentalists.
L as lesbian-wedding. The "marriage" was held Sunday evening to show closed in front of our booth. Don officiating Caluri-Zauker, brides unknown to us but in love and emotion, and hot phones to resume the ceremony and, above all, the kiss of calientissimo neoconiugate (you will not see on this blog chaste. settle for delivery of the Rings). M as Margaret, and my young fans elettrizzatissima Lucca came to see (and buy my books with dedications to the inevitable "special"). In regular, deafening chaos of the show, at first I had confused with another of my young fans of La Spezia and five years, after reading my "Life of Dante, he went around yelling at everyone" Vile Marrano "(among other things, I discovered that the term" Marrano " è di epoca successiva, e che l'avevo dunque usato a sproposito. Anche se le mie strisce dantesche sono decisamente “atemporali”, l'ignoranza resta ignoranza. Almeno finché non viene sostituita dalla conoscenza). Poi, parlando, mi sono ricordato di Margherita e della meravigliosa letterina che mi aveva scritto qualche mese prima e sulla quale aveva disegnato e colorato due bellissimi Dante e Virgilio, quasi migliori di quelli che disegno io! Le chiedo scusa qui per l'equivoco iniziale!
N come nutria. Che ho visto nuotare placidamente tra le grandi foglie gialle trascinate dalla blanda corrente del fossato dentro le mura, lunedì mentre tornavo al posteggio. Muso da castoro, dimensioni da gatto, coda da topo e strafottenza da padrona del mondo, incurante della pioggia e della mia divertita curiosità.
O come overdose di firme sui miei libri: domenica, per tre-quattro ore di seguito, praticamente non ho alzato il naso dalle dediche! E sì che non sono uno di quei miei meno fortunati colleghi che, facendo disegni realistici, ci mettono un bel po' a realizzare uno schizzo sul frontespizio dei loro volumi!
P like rain. After a year in which the exhibition Lucca enjoyed an enviable weather "ruined", the most by any passing cloud, this time in the last two days of the event on the city have killed violent rain. Nature has its laws and times. Too bad for the cosplayer, that in those 48 hours could not be present in the streets peacefully!
Q as almost incredible for three consecutive days, but at different times, I found a lucky parking in the same way, just twenty feet away at most from one point to another. Incredible coincidence or significant factor "C" I? In any case, a really good way to start the day.
R as Rinaldo . My "Jerusalem Delivered" comic book collection in the last volume, after the onset of a Cartoomics had also reflected the public Lucca.
S come Sergio. Ce n'erano tre, al tavolo della presentazione della collana “Toppi - Sulle rotte dell'immaginario”: ovviamente Toppi , Bonelli e Rossi . Un bell'incontro di differenti punti di vista professionali e generazionali.
T as Toppi. Do not miss the series that the Newspaper and the Museum of Comics in Lucca in the person of Angelo and Stefano Gorla Nencetti dedicated to the great author Milan that the whole world admires and envies. This series of books, weekly newspaper stand at 9 and 90 € each, comes to fill a void in Italian shameful comic book publishing. You will be repeated at least 80% of toppiana, including some previously unpublished. Sergio Toppi is a writer so original that it can not be compared to anyone else. He is no more or less good of his colleagues, is just somewhere else.
U as outputs of Lucca. Many as usual. In alphabetical order of publisher, reporting excellent or some curious Allagalla Publisher, "four seconds" of Valdearena and Zecchin , Black Velvet, "The chlorine taste "of Bastien Vivès ; Cartoon Club, Rigel “Gioco di sangue” di Elena De Grimani ; Coconino Press, “Interiorae” di Gabriella Giandelli ; Comma 22, “28 giorni dopo - La fine della strada” di Nelson-Shalvey ; Edizioni 001, “Barbara” vol.1 di Barreiro and Zanotto ; Edizioni BD, "A Panda like" for James Bevilacqua ; Grifo Edizioni, "Joe Bar Team" Christian Debarre ; Hazard Edizioni, edition de luxe of "I three Adolf" of Osamu Tezuka , Rizzoli-Lizard, "Treasure Island" by Pratt and Milani . V as the winner. I hope that proves that the New Year lottery ticket that I bought in Lucca. If so, the next edition we invite you to dinner!
Z as Zagor . It was during my own personal enjoyment, looking through the booth, the fresh-of-print Fumo di China No 186. The for-other-reasons-above-named Matteuzzi, the editorial of a previous issue of DC, debating Western Bonelli has simply forgotten the existence of the Spirit with the Hatchet. Under the heading of the post office number above, to illustrate the answer to a reader who pointed out the glaring mistake was made a drawing of Drunky Duck attributed caption a. .. "Moreno" Torricelli ! Unfortunately there is nothing to be done when something comes wrong, can only turn up more and more.
zagoriani A group of fans, meanwhile, was compelled by force to join the Matteuzzi Darkwoodiani Anonymous.
