Buzzelli Vol. 3 (Collected Works)
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Guido Buzzelli's full-color science fiction epic Zasafir, A Star For Ganymede, Resurrection, and the previously unpublished Incomplete Zasafir.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 concludes with his earliest masterpiece, credited for inventing the independent Italian graphic novel, Revolt of the Ugly.
