Description
Hailed in Europe, Guido Buzzelli has been called "the Michelangelo of monsters," "the Goya of comics," and "the patron saint of all Italian cartoonists."
A pioneer active from the 1950s to the 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 Renaissance art and futurism, Buzzelli's stories are a delightful, quasi-postmodern mishmash of high and low, showcasing an intricate hand and stylish narrative skill.
The first of three volumes collecting Guido Buzzelli's stories in English for the first time, Buzzelli Collected Works Vol. 1 includes The Labyrinth and Zil Zelub, two of the earliest Italian avant-garde graphic novels ever published. These fantastic and grotesque stories are the perfect introduction to Buzzelli's work.
Nominated for a 2024 Ignatz Award for Best Collected Edition.
Translated by Jamie Richards. Introduction by Domingos Isabelinho.
