Potete salvare le vostre ricerche! Le trovate poi sotto il menu Ordini → Ricerche salvate
Attenzione: non vengono salvati i risultati, ovviamente, ma la ricerca viene effettuata ogni volta che la richiamate: se salvate una ricerca che prende gli articoli inseriti negli ultimi trenta giorni, fra trenta giorni troverà tutti i nuovi articoli inseriti
La ricerca restituisce articoli che abbiano nel titolo tutte le parole, includendo anche parole simili o assonanti.
Per perfezionare la ricerca, puoi utilizzare anche questi comandi:
"testo fra virgolette": cerca esattamente il testo senza
varianti. Per esempio: "Batman e
Robin"
-parola: esclude i risultati che contengono la parola
attaccata al trattino. Per esempio:
-Robin
Puoi aggiungere, dopo la parola da ricercare, una o più di queste ricerche
specifiche:
@title parole: cerca solo nel titolo (altrimenti la ricerca
si estende a tutti i campi compresa la descrizione)
@author autore: cerca solo articoli di questo autore. Per
esempio: @author Stan Lee
@artist artista: cerca solo articoli di questo artista. Per
esempio: @artist John Romita
Jr.
@cover copertinista: cerca solo articoli di questo
copertinista. Per esempio: @cover Alex
Ross
@publisher editore: cerca solo articoli di questo editore.
Per esempio: @publisher Marvel
Nota:1 potete anche usare le varianti in italiani: @autore,
@artista, @editore, @titolo (mentre @cover rimane uguale!)
La ricerca tenterà di individuare termini somiglianti oppure
grammaticalmente simili (Man/Men ad esempio).
Ci sono inoltre le parole chiave @COMICS e @FUMETTI per ottenere solo
ricerche dal mercato USA o Italiano rispettivamente (tutte maiuscole!)
La parole chiave @30 e @90 vi permetteranno di limitare la ricerca agli
articoli presentanti negli ultimi 30 / 90 giorni mentre @mese a quelli
presentati nel mese in corso e @YEAR all'ultimo anno (inteso come "gli
ultimi 365 giorni).
È possibile effettuare la ricerca anche inserendo direttamente il
codice a barre.
Quando inizia per 978 è un ISBN: vanno inserite tutte
le 11 cifre senza trattini o altro e va ignorata, se c’è, l’estensione
(le altre 5 cifre messe su un codice separato, a fianco). Negli altri
casi vanno inserite le 12 cifre del codice (compreso il numero fra i
due codici a barre, se presente) oppure tutti e 17 (compresa l’estensione,
questo vale per gli albi): considerate che l’estensione indica numero,
variant e ristampa quindi se la inserite la ricerca è puntuale e troverà
solo quell’articolo mentre se, per un albo o una rivista, inserite solo
la prime 12 cifre la ricerca vi darà l’intera serie.
Se noto è anche possibile usare il codice Diamond del prodotto
(a volte è possibile reperirlo su ricerche su Internet o
qualche indicazione su un sito specializzato o una recensione).
Written by Archie Goodwin and drawn by such luminaries as Frank Frazetta, Wally Wood, John Severin, Alex Toth, Al Williamson, Russ Heath, Reed Crandall, and Gene Colan, Blazing Combat was originally published by independent comics publisher James Warren in 1965 and '66. Following in the tradition of Harvey Kurtzman's Two-Fisted Tales and Frontline Combat, Goodwin's stories reflected the human realities and personal costs of war rather than exploiting the clichés of the traditional men's adventure genre. They were among the best comics stories about war ever published. Blazing Combat ended after its fourth issue when military post exchanges refused to sell the title due to their perception that it was an anti-war comic. Their hostility was fueled by the depiction of the then-current Vietnam War, especially a story entitled 'Landscape,' which follows the thoughts of a simple Vietnamese peasant rice-farmer who pays the ultimate price simply for living where he does - and which was considered anti-war agitprop by the more hawkish members of the business community. Writer Archie Goodwin and the original publisher James Warren discuss the death of Blazing Combat and market censorship as well as the creative gestation of the series in exclusive interviews.

In Tad Martin: Tears of the Leather-bound Saints, Cassanova Frankenstein invades the straight world with his madcap ink line and macabre vision. When the author's coolly detached avatar gets fired from his shitty manual labor job, he spits bitter truths about insidious corporate greed and the soul-crushing rat race. From there, in a series of emotionally raw vignettes, he offers glimpses into his rough upbringing, from his dysfunctional home life to his childhood insecurities and racial anxieties - ultimately revealing the roots of his punk sensibility. A deeply vulnerable work from a true comics outsider. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

In this volume of the bestselling Complete Peanuts series, Charles Schulz introduces one (in fact, three) of the quirkiest characters to the Peanuts universe, the numerically-monikered 95472 siblings. They didn't stay around very long but offered some choice bits of satirical nonsense while they did. As it happens, this volume is particularly rich in never-before-reprinted strips: over 150 (more than one fifth of the book!) have never seen the light of day since their original appearance over 40 years ago, so this will be a trove of undiscovered treasures even for avid Peanuts collectors. Introduced by Bill Melendez, animator of all the Peanuts TV specials starting all the way back with A Charlie Brown Christmas! (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

In the second volume of Fantagraphics' spectacularly packaged E.C. Segar Popeye Sundays, the incorrigible Wimpy takes center stage! An irresistible alchemy of screwball comedy, tender romance, and rags-to-riches fantasy, Elsie Crisler Segar's newspaper comic strip, starring Popeye the sailor man, captivated readers of the Roaring Twenties and beyond. Fantagraphics is thrilled to bring Segar's whimsical world back into print, collecting the complete Popeye Sunday stories in four gorgeous full-color volumes, each packaged in a deluxe vertical slipcase. Volume one highlighted the mercurial relationship between Popeye and Olive Oyl, while volume two shifts the focus to an even more dynamic connection, between that of J. Wellington Wimpy and his one true object of desire: a delectable hamburger. A notorious chiseler without a penny to his name, Wimpy is forever scheming new ways to bamboozle the local diner out of a mouth-watering morsel of his favorite meal. And the audacious chicaneries Wimpy employs in pursuit of his greatest love are as riotous today as they were when these strips first appeared in the '30s. Featuring laugh-out-loud gags, sensational slugfests, and an endearing cast of characters, this Wimpy-centric volume of classic Popeye adventures emphatically answers the question: Where's the beef? Plus, an illustrated appreciation/deconstruction of this legendary comic character by acclaimed cartoonist Kevin Huizenga! E.C. Segar (1894-1938) was an American cartoonist known for creating Popeye, the star of his comic series Thimble Theatre. Kevin Huizenga is a cartoonist living in Chicago. He has won awards for various comics and graphic novels starring his signature everyman, Glenn Ganges. His latest book is The River at Night. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

In this imaginatively conceived historical graphic novel, Guy Colwell explores the story behind Hieronymus Bosch and his most famous work. In Guy Colwell's first full graphic novel in over 30 years, we see one painter, Colwell himself, consider another, Hieronymus Bosch, and the story behind the latter's most notable work told in sequential panels. The known details of Bosch's life, and the commissioning of his enormous triptych, 'The Garden of Earthly Delights,' are scant. Colwell takes the facts of Bosch's time and setting and constructs a tale of a man and artist torn equally among piety, creativity, and commerce. In Colwell's version of Jheronimus van Aken (Bosch's real name), he is an artist paid well by local dukes to paint a vision of the world before the fall, but will the religious leaders of his village see it as celebrating God's creation, or fatally corrupted by sensuality? And what of the increasing numbers of young models needed to depict pre-apple innocence? This imaginatively conceived graphic biography is Colwell's crowning achievement in a cartooning career, begun in the underground comix movement of the 1970s, and marked by risk-taking and political engagement. His drawing, rendering, and storytelling has never been as self-assured as in Delights. GUY COLWELL is a painter and comics artist best known for his bestselling underground comix series Inner City Romance (collected into a volume published by Fantagraphics in 2015). He worked extensively as an illustrator, cartoonist and color artist for underground newspapers and publishers from the 1970s into the 1990s, between sabbaticals for environmental research travel and social action. His other books include Street Scenes (2015), In Fox's Forest (2016), and Doll (2019). (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

In the third volume of the E.C. Segar Popeye Sundays, Popeye and company embark on a gothic adventure on the high seas! Volume three centers around the epic Popeye adventure, 'Plunder Island,' in which our endearing cast of characters takes to the high seas in search of buried treasure - but must contend with the ruthless Sea Hag and her strange sidekick, Alice the Goon. Steeped in shadow and gothic imagery, this tale is an atmospheric and suspenseful departure from the typical Popeye aesthetic - with a little screwball comedy thrown in for good measure. Also in this volume, Popeye proves to be a one-man wrecking crew on the gridiron, Wimpy tries his unsteady hand at duck shooting (uh-oh!), and the crew ride out to the Wild West town of Slither Creek on a rip-roaring gold-hunting expedition. Plus, contemporary Filipino cartoonist Bong Redila pens a lighthearted comic homage to the iconic, eerie duo headlining this volume. An irresistible alchemy of slapstick humor, tender romance, and rags-to-riches fantasy, Elsie Crisler Segar's newspaper comic strip, starring Popeye the sailor man, captivated readers of the Roaring Twenties and beyond. Fantagraphics is thrilled to bring Segar's whimsical world back into print, collecting the complete Popeye Sunday stories in four gorgeous full-color volumes, each packaged in a die cut slipcase. E.C. Segar (1894-1938) was an American cartoonist known for creating Popeye, the star of his comic series Thimble Theatre. Bong Redila is a Filipino American illustrator and author based in Miami, Florida. His previous book with Fantagraphics was Meläg: Town of Fables (2022). (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

In the first of two volumes in Fantagraphics' Crepax series devoted to the artist's comics adaptations of the erotic literary canon, Valentina takes on Georges Bataille's The Story of an Eye, and then we follow Arsan's Emmanuelle on her sensual journey. 'The Story of a Story' (1981) stars Milanese photographer Valentina. Finding herself home alone, she cheekily decides to fantasize about Georges Bataille's infamous novella The Story of an Eye - with a twist: she's playing all the roles! In the stories 'Emmanuelle' (1978) and 'Emmanuelle: The Anti-Virgin' (1990), Crepax follows the titular heroine on her sensual journey as the polyamorous wife of a French diplomat in Thailand. While the character is best known as the star of a series of pornographic movies, most notably the 1974 film starring Sylvia Kristel, she originated in a banned 1959 novel by Marayat Rollet-Andriane (pen name Emmanuelle Arsan), a Thai French woman. Emmanuelle has a sexual encounter on a plane, plays a steamy game of squash with a countess, falls for a woman named Bee, and has an intense experience at a temple, among the many other transgressive exploits Crepax details from the novel. And, in an innovation of Crepax's own - she crosses paths with King Kong! This volume is the first of two featuring comics adaptations from the literary erotica canon along with supplemental and contextual material. And, as is observed in the Crepax Archives, '[The cartoonist,] covered by the authority of classics, ventures into territories of eroticism that up to now he had only dared to touch.'

When Howard Chaykin broke into comics in the 1970s, there was nothing quite like him. His original characters Dominic Fortune and Monark Starstalker took classic pulp heroes and ran them through a postmodern blender. This new volume contains retro-science-fiction bounty hunter Monark Starstalker’s debut appearance and all Chaykin’s color-comic-book Dominic Fortune stories, including the character’s unexpurgated Max series, published a generation later. Completing the package is the collision between pulp heroism and the devastating, bloody realities of World War I in Chaykin’s 111-page collaboration with The Boys writer Garth Ennis on War Is Hell: The First Flight of the Phantom Eagle. The collection is introduced by author and comics scholar Brannon Costello. This second title in Fantagraphics’ Lost Marvels series collects some of the most exciting, sought-after work by Howard Chaykin from 1975 to 2008. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

An astonishing historical and artistic discovery: a 2300 page proto-graphic novel begun by a 'weekend cartoonist' in 1928 and continuing over the next 50 years! When Frank Johnson, an itinerant musician and shipping clerk, died in 1979, he left behind a startling discovery: more than 2,300 notebook pages of comics and 131 unbound drawings, among them a massive, continuous story line beginning in the earliest surviving notebook dated 1928 - before the existence of comic books! - and following the exploits of his own cast of characters across 50 years until Johnson passed away. During this lifelong project, Johnson invented in private many of the conventions and tropes that define comics storytelling, effectively enacting an alternative secret history of the comics medium. This debut publication of Johnson's work is the first of two 600+ page volumes that will collect the best 1200 pages of his comics, including Wally's Gang, his 50-year magnum opus chronicling the humorous, cliff-hanging adventures of a group of bachelor friends; The Bowser Boys, a seamy, darkly slapstick depiction of bohemian street life that could be considered the first underground comic series; and, coming in Volume 2, Juke Boys, absurd, self-reflexive graphic experimentation. Curator and historian Chris Byrne and fine artist and graphic novelist Keith Mayerson have brought this astounding work into the light of day and provide historical background and analysis.
