Written in the 14th-century, Dante's Divine Comedy has long since been acknowledged as the greatest single poem of the last 2 millennia. It is a true epic, which tells the story of how a lost soul is led by a spirit guide through Hell and Purgatory and finally to the highest realms of Heaven, where he is re-united with his lost love, the beautiful Beatrice. It has just one obvious weakness: Not enough good jokes. Now, after more than half a millennium, one comic artist has finally come forward to put matters right: Hunt Emerson. While remaining faithful to the narrative, the characters, and the philosophy of Dante's original, Emerson has dreamed up a brilliantly inventive series of comic variations on the poem.

Winshluss' multi-levelled retelling of The Bible revises the founding myths of the holy book. We are guided through the maze of the Old and New Testament by St. Franky, with a nose like a strawberry from drinking altar wine and a sceptical attitude. God looks like a retired biker and is a shy and alcoholic seducer, Jesus had a punk phase, Mary is naive and lonely. From the comic book parody (God vs Superman) to the adulterous tragedy, through the story of creation and a study of the disappearance of the dinosaurs to the mystery of the resurrection, the density of the book will leave the reader no respite from the horrors suffered by an inept and inconsistent humanity and the acts of an apathetic, drunk, and jaded divine power.

Since the dawn of humanity, there have been individuals who want to mess around with Hidden Powers. Some were Mystics, some were Scientists, some were Charlatans. All were pretty bonkers. Including Faust, Giordano Bruno, William Blake, WB Yeats, Dr. Dee, Kenneth Anger, Mother Shipton, Madam Blavatsky, Isaac Newton, David Bowie, and, repeatedly, Aleister Crowley. Centuries of eccentric, bizarre lives. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

(W) Alan Moore, Tim Perkins (A) Eddie Campbell Two of Alan Moore's performance pieces are adapted by comics by his From Hell collaborator Eddie Campbell. The Birth Caul is a shamanism of childhood, a journey from the present to the past, back into the womb and beyond. The magical creation theory story of love, death and resurrection Snakes and Ladders entwines the disinterment of Oliver Cromwell and Elizabeth Siddell, the visionary nature of Arthur Machen's experiences after the death of his wife, and Moore's magical traveler John Constantine.

Comics pages about Unexplained Phenomena. Hunt Emerson has drawn these pages for Fortean Times magazine since the mid-1980s; they're about the weird things that happen in the world-Vampires, Ghosts, Faeries, UFOs, Werewolves, Folk Beliefs, Miracles, Mystery Smells, Unknown Animals, Megaliths-all put through his comics filter.... well, they make Hunt laugh! Many of the Unexplained Phenomena are based on some sort of documentary evidence. Just as many are invented by Emerson. He loves that marginal world. This book has been a long-term ambition of his: to present a selection of Phenomenomix strips in a luxury comics album. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

These are the first beats of the Beatles' career as only legendary rock cartoonist Mauri Kunnas could tell them. The cover depicts John, Paul, George, and Ringo crossing the street Abbey Road style, but the street's in Hamburg's seedy Reeperbahn red-light district, and the flip cover adds lost Beatles Pete Best and Stu Sutcliffe to the mix. Kunnas chronicles the band from Ringo's birth (against a backdrop of the Luftwaffe shelling Liverpool) through the release of their hit, 'Please Please Me'/'Ask Me Why.' Focusing on the band's pre-fame days in a sly and irreverent style (and not shying away from Brian Epstein's fixation upon John), Kunnas makes liberal use of corny in-jokes and hokey wordplay, but it's all done in good fun.
