Lucca, you still remember ...

year Luccacomics nothing. Commitments, skip ' apartment, no meeting planned work that step. And the thing I regret, sure. Sorry first not be there, because I was already a fixture of 5 years for not see old friends and make new ones, not being able to roam the stalls as a visitor any, addocchiando material interesting and studying how they could make you do a discount.

But above all I regret not being able to be in selfarea to promote the new number of Anjce , forcing Miriam have to do everything alone. So no picture for the usual, no plan for Mimmo, no plan for Mr. Alfonso. No meetings with readers, who remember better and better every year, by dint see them again each time you follow the first few times you saw Bonelli stand now, you are to find something in that line breaks precious. And the sun, for better or worse has always accompanied least one day last year weekend Lucca. Then, almost like a sms of fate, it was raining Monday.

Lucca course was too, but everything has its downsides: to lose most of the time to move from one pavilion to another, crossing cosplay loads of accessories, backpack or boys who do not look around them while running. The current location, with the fair around the city, it is preferable to the old one, where it was compressed in a confined space and where we always ate sandwiches in the same place, here you can breathe, but if you appointments and commitments in different places in different halls in two adjacent squares, and maybe at that time the civil defense people are doing out of the shed because the publishers crowds for Ratman ... Well, in this case is decidedly uncomfortable.

And then there are the things that I will not see, which I do not miss, like the infamous bronze faces of the "usual suspects" in their stand that if they pull it, or the usual "experts" who sneak everywhere.

conclude with a friendly recommendation. If you find yourself queuing up at a booth to receive a drawing or a print, do not EVER bring back a big red marker tip, and if by chance you have even ignored if someone wonders if there you have it (you says the sin but not the sinner, remember). you risk big.

And then ... I know it may seem like the speech of the fox and the grapes, but perhaps maybe, have you ever seen ... it could rain!

Preview ...

Or doing a preview. Below are the first three pages of the last episode of Anjce .

explaining to those who do not know, what it is. It 's a self-produced project you do with two friends, Miriam Blasich and Luke Vergerio . Same character, each writes and draws an episode once a year, to be ready to 'appointment Lucca with a new number. 48 pages in black and white, color cover.

Each time is a challenge, to write and draw a story that comes from within, you feel him, and that is also a good story (hopefully), that people remember after reading it. Trying to be modest. Of course, you will not be the comic will go down in history, but at least it's something you enjoy doing, for you and your fun.

Every year is a company that gives you the idea to reach the starting point for the final story. The ideas are many , rotate, change, change and evolve, and eventually you think that might work in particular. You concentrate on that, I'll study the structure, we begin to reason and visualize in your mind: storyboard, phrases, words, and you say you're done.

Then, bastard as a practical joke, one day, while you're doing everything else, another idea comes into your head suddenly. And you thought with the fateful question from which all ideas are born " And what would happen if ...". Then it's over. Throw all that you had studied up to that point, because the new history is there ready, start, progress and end, with all the things you want to say at that moment, we are all right.

Then it is just to draw and put the lyrics. One thing at the bottom of automatic because now you have in mind what will come out, it remains only to determine how and when to do it, shaping and polishing the rest of the corners. Using all your 13 pages. I leave

guess what the "What would happen if ..." which started the whole idea. Perhaps from the preview of course, but maybe not. But that's the beauty of previews: they should not say too much ...

Somebody might wonder what happened to the idea gets discarded, what you'll study until a few days earlier. Remains on paper, and nothing forbids you to reuse the first or later, somewhere. Sooner or later. The first of the series, six years ago, was not the first story I wrote by myself, to say I was ilv. Already on a few occasions I had done something. But it was the first to have a certain distribution, and restore the note "text and drawings by GP. Sniff, tear, emotion, amarcord ...

And then, as it continues? Well, this is just a preview, I said at the beginning ... Typefaces

the first four, self in just the next two. Curious, just as certain smaller publishers with certain types of production (but facendosela ripped off). The sixth was completed in recent days, and will be available Luccacomics & Games in Selfarea , stand Anjce . For those who do not will be ... enough to apply by writing to info@anjce.it, or visit the website , perhaps even leaving a message in the guestbook.

And then everything starts again as usual, to infinity and beyond ...

Stand Up Wrapping Paper

How many pages from here to eternity? Still Crazy After All That

Every so often, not too often yield to an old habit, I forget my pessimism of default on the craft of comics, and try to return a player. A simple reader. Just to be clear as to what I was some twenty years ago.

Yeah, we want to be a player? I see myself as a child, with a number of Corriere dei Ragazzi in hand. Okay, not really the child, adolescent. A castaway on a boat lands on an island in the South Seas. Scene from Lost , palm trees and endless beaches. At that moment I was really with him on the beach. And then at any other time, I followed him to every page. At 6 pages per week (as in previous years to rrivava also to 2 pages per week). The result? "A suivre " or "Continue" ... seven days, same time, same channel. Then the same newspapers, the same newspaper. What cool.

Years later I see the same newspaper. The beach is beautiful, the palm trees are 4, the 'setting of Lost no guesses. Oh well, the memory was better.

Yeah, but that was before. Before begin drawing with the method, before focus to do it in a coherent and continuous . Before you even think of making it come away from your job.

Before you start to grind tens of pages per month, curandotele as if they were your pets. Before you learn how difficult reaching the final, in which everything must be answered, and each extra page or a page is too less to explain. When you learn the methods that use smart writers, the ones that allow you to get to the last page and everything goes fine, no rush. Today all this

entered my blood now. I recognize eye fixes, editorial interventions, the dead spots of the stories, I can not short to avoid testing the comics that I read with a critical eye. And if I see a stingy I grimaced. If an 'inking is completely ineffective on the face is the smile Joker. If the designer has copied photographs, well, it really is too obvious (though until recently drew in different ways). If there is a background, if a prospect has all of his personal rules unknown to us mortals, in short, everything that I ruin the pleasure of reading. But then life is not just for Milton Caniff , comics like everything else in the world evolve, so I'm keeping the complaints in the drawing, with some effort I can not recall the artist who supercritical c 'is in me, and I read a cartoon in one breath.

Or rather, I try. Why at this point I struggle with a typical habit circulating today in comics, whether they are detectives, mice and ducks or superheroes in tights.
dilation. Many things I agree, some narrative tricks too, but a history of stretch, was for 20, 100 or 300 pages, not the straps.

Example: Guy walks into a room, greeting, asks how it goes to the landlord. Amena conversation and moving slowly coming to the door of the first room. A page and a half in which nothing happened. It was not said anything relevant to the story. But I read two pages in the meantime. I tell myself that I'm wrong, that my mind has deceived me, the story may not be so expanded. Then go back and look with the method. Soundings page. Guy comes in and plays a sticker on the door. Two vignette that arrives Caio preparing to open the door. Vignette three opens, and gets a look of surprise. Four, we see the host and master of the house that they said goodbye. Or rather, the newcomer who asks a question of no importance. The landlord, Tom, answered in five. In six Caius enters smiling reply.

You wonder why. We can not answer that question definitely be a venial sin: "They pay me to page, and I dilate this story so far as I gain more." No, basically I realize that churn out a good idea every week or every month can be tiring (though a reasonable doubt remains, of course). I realized that seeing how the stories of Startrek on television became more and more verbose, and ending with the endless chatter between Janeway and Seven of Nine in Voyager ( noooiaaaaaaa ). Where in Startrek The Next Generation the writers had invented (or only applies to) the story editing, weaving in an episode that is the more minor events which by themselves would not be sufficient to hold an episode. But this had happened years before ... other writers, more textures and themes to draw from.

Perhaps the authors feel that in the comics the influence of Graphic Novel American? The romanzoni 300-page comic book that had so much success? Well, no, to the length aprte those made sense so long, there was so much to tell.

Or the problem is bigger and covers all the literature in general? Maybe that d Ilatia is not just a problem of comics?

Take a hardcover book of 500 pages. One at random, Italian or foreign. He may have within it a scene like this:

" Pablo put his hand on the handle of brass-colored ash blond, brown smoke, forged by the masters of Senegovia Atlantic in 1918, at the end of the great World War, resistance is felt the touch of his fingers long and pale, covered with sparse hair . Exerted a slight pressure above method and that object at that moment seemed so strange and obscure. Increased the pressure feeling it give way, and he took a breath continuing to press until you hear a sound dry and penetrating that hurt the ears, almost breaking that eternal moment of silence when it was penetrated by a few minutes. He pushed again, and the door opened, creaking imperceptibly as a rebel trying to support one last attack, or resist the charge of the 600 (...)."

Do not look for it around, I invented now. More than ten lines of text (though I think once the publishers to pay the amount of words) to say nothing about anything, except that the potagonista Oung the fingers, pale and hairy (trouble if the reader does not discover this particular be careful!). Literature? Bho.

course. This makes it easier to write a novel and get to 700 pages. But where Tolkien 500 pages employed to describe the battle of the ditch Elm , now you can find written, "They left at dawn for the battle, and returned in the evening, winners." So what's in this 900-page? Here's what I think when I read about young people entering who think a trilogy ...

O comics with people knocking at the door ...

Okay, that's just because every time I have to write a comic myself, I fight with the storyboard to be able to do everything at the right time. E 'in these moments that I realize how difficult it is to be a writer .

Why Doe My Heart Ache

years ... We are all missing

What follows is a piece recovered from Facebook, where I wrote last January, when my birthday. I came back to the days scorsai , as I faced the same argument of the piece with a friend (useless speech, everyone was on her, alas, how to lose 20 more minutes to no avail). But the party is sull'imprinting damn true, I tried it on my skin ...

How many good things can happen, being born in the cold January of 1964?

Now, after a certain number of years, I try to look back.
When the man arrives on the moon in 1969, five years and I'm too young to remember anything. Or having seen the film 2001 A Space Odyssey. Too bad ...
But I have 8 years in 1972, when I find the cartoons Messenger boys, and I'll have 12 in 1976, when degenerate into something grammatically unreadable ( Corrier Boy, ARGH). A good imprint on a young mind has its own importance? Today, in hindsight I would say yes.

I have 10 years in 1974, when I find the classic Walt Disney on the newsstands, with the first volume of reprints Paperinik, which includes investment half of the precious gift from my sister Ornella (1000 pounds) . Same age as when my father and my brother gives me a "surprise bag" of those who were in the news-stands, formed by various publishers yields sold off for cheap. In ours we'll find a comic book Buck Danny of Charlier - Hubinon . Only years later plugged it into the name of one of the authors with that of the gentleman who wrote in the Corriere Blueberry small ... one of the many newspaper comics that were in all newsagents. Yes, it seems very good imprint for infants and children.

And find the magazine Orient Express to 20 years, where I devoured the first two years Metal Hurlant . And 24 years to take the first issue of the Fantastic 4 Star Comics when Italy Marvel / Panini did not yet exist. Read the first Urania to 18 years, and the trilogy Isaac Asimov shortly thereafter. Starting to get interested reading, and not stopping but more.

At 13 I can see the Star Wars movies. Need I say more? A 17 see Raiders of the Lost and Heavy Metal . 18 And when I see Blade Runner (and the world will never be the same) and ET (and barely found a seat in the cinema). And when my city will be only one film, as the Teatro Verdi remained closed for restoration in those conditions for years failed to Ulysses from Ithaca, I can still see all the unmissable film of science fiction series B of the '80s. To know StarTrek when it was still called "Destination Cosmos", in 16 years. A good imprinting adolescent, I guess.

And what about TV? UFO to 8 years in the TV boys, to 17 on Saturday, after a 'test pattern that endless characterized the lack of programming , at a time when some television executive had definitely ruled "Why but do you want to watch TV in the afternoon, we're serious, "and then the end of the newscast of 13.30 to 17 had the afternoon free to count on your thumbs and do nothing (to count the toes, for example). So in times like The Orion spaceship a year later, Space 1999 and 12 years Doctor Who with Tom Baker , and then Grendizer to 14 Gundam ( My friends are Peter Rei, commander of the robot ... ) shortly thereafter, and Conan and Lupin III and Grand the Prix champion . And yet to see Nausicaa Valley Wind a Christmas of that time there, even when I had to learn who he was Miyazaki. When those times had not yet caught on fitness programs, gossip and large number of brothers. And then Fury , Happy Days , Zorro , A man in the house , George and Mildred , Hawaii 5.0 and Mission Impossible , Inspector Derrick and Lieutenant Colombo . And then
and endless TV private ... TV commercial when the definition did not exist. I'll have 17 when Channel 5 will, and already the temperature was increased from the TV a bit '. Except for a nap ... nothing Smurfs and Criss Angel, I was already over. But I witness to the years of lead and do the second media (Latin required , porcum canem ).

I am proud to have seen Niki Lauda won with Ferrari at the age of 11 and 13 years, infinitely grateful for having followed the whole dish Gilles Villeneuve at the right time. Or having visited Italy to Panatta - Barazzutti - Bertolucci - Zugarelli win the Davis Cup Pinochet's Chile deserted by the great tennis. When, to be clear, I did not understand one iota of the rules of tennis.
And Paolo Rossi and Spain's world of 18 years. And before Peter and Marcello Fiasconaro Mennea .

Without the military 20 years and have seen Dune and Ghostbuster in cinemas Pordenone, have lent the book to the guards smontanti and then discuss in front of a pizza "But the book is best the film ..." and have divided the number of Mickey Mouse with the first part of " Uncle Scrooge and adventure in Formula 1 (Pezzin and of Cavazzano) with all the barracks, and find that a number of Mickey Mouse (that time, eh?) could be read by 200 people and return to hand untouched, while a number of horn or Jacula lost in pages and cover a few hours ... And watch the tragedy on the stage of ' Eisel small television in the switchboard, filled with people were stunned by what he saw. And the snow of the century, and nights with no moon and no lights in the empty streets of the barracks. And having experienced for the first time in my life, the absolute silence around me ... in total darkness.

And there would be told things. Of Music, the first 33 laps of Vinyl ( Glass Houses of Billy Joel ) got 18 years, or last (007 Licence to Kill of Michael Kamen ) at 25, one week before the Standa empty the vinyl section in favor of the CD. Be passed through countless tools HiFi : the recorder Jealous of his grandfather to record the initials of the series, from 14 years onwards. At the first and only Walkman to 26. And then the 'Ipod tarot to 44 (with quick-charging battery that sis, but then was tarot, I know ...). Having seen the VHS boom when not distinguish it from the Video and the 2000 Betamax , waiting to see which of them would have survived .
And having heard of the Laser Disc, and then rapidly (too fast) evolution of the DVD, Blue Ray el ' HD.
And the cousin who was taking the new summer revolutionary thing called a computer, the ZX Spectrum , with programs for audio cassettes (20 minutes to load Space Invader, and it seemed to me very fast ...). And the first PC (brother) to 28 years. 386, then 486, then Pentium, and Pentium 2. And the games polygons, those slow, slow. And the first site visited (and who remembers?) With the connection at 56 k. When you download a small picture called for endless minutes . Before wikipedia and Youtube, when I used Altavista and you seemed to find everything. Before
facebook and mobile phones, and when you wanted someone calling on the phone. And if there was no patience ... would call another day. After all that fast went? And you had to remind you birthdays.

And when you start to see the girls differently. When she gives you her phone number and you have to talk with her, and ask you the pass, and hope we have made a good impression.

And now? The years continue to pass the pepper in his hair to grow, the technology evolve, the TV to degenerate, the comic book to sell less, and the friends they settle, their children growing up, and you that while you look in the mirror every morning you ask yourself how did he go so fast all that time. "I'll have 36 years in 2000, you should get there before!" you said laughing, long time ago.
and think about that girl a few weeks ago I asked you how old you were curious. I see you smiling to answer a quiz for her unsurpassed . "Do a little 'accounts: I saw Star Wars at the cinema ..."
