The Life of Namazuko by Daisuke Ichiba: “this is the first of five old mangas Daisuke Ichiba made several years ago, they are all unpublished, just self-published by the author many years ago. We started from this one, there will be one for each year. The Life of Namazuko is a 136 pages long manga, it's something I never read before, it's an incredible contrast between a very sad story and a very funny and grotesque story, never seen anything so in contrast like this, it's incredible how you want sometime cry and sometime laugh out loud. Published in two different size, the cheap and small one, a classic manga size with dust jacket for only 15€ and a big hard cover for 35€. The book is available in three languages, English, Italian and Japanese.”
Fingerless by Spugna: “The so waited new long comic by Spugna, this time textless, of course the most introspective comic by Spugna! 184 pages in full color with an embossed effect on the eyes of the guy. We are really proud of the carrier Spugna is taking on, probably you know that yet, but lately he made several important things, like a cover for the Panini/Marvel Carnage character and in the near future will be published a solo comic book about Dylan Dog for the Bonelli, the biggest publishing house here in Italy.”
Castrovalva by David Genchi: “Talking about the genesis of this weird comic: David Genchi with his brother William Genchi worked for all the first half of this year at an ambitious project, a comic game to present in Lucca Comics 2020 in the game section, unfortunately, as you know all the festivals skipped for this year and we chose to postpone that big project to 2021, so I asked to Genchi to draw a short and large comic with NO rules. And this is what came from, a crazy short comic of only 8 pages with a lot of fun and density. It's a sort of biographical trip in the unconscious of the creativity of the artist, it's produced and sold like a newspaper and it's just 4€. I want to admit that if this experiment will be a success of course I want purpose it again to other hollow artists. And obviously, as often happens, David Genchi is the opener for a such experimental project.”
The Biologic Show by Al Columbia: “Finally, after 30 years of waiting we have a collection of the masterpiece the Biologic Show by Al Columbia, this collection will include: The Biologic Show #0, The Biologic Show #1 and unpublished pages by 23 Skidoo the short Johhny 23 from the old Taboo magazine for a high quality Hard Cover book, with an embossed effect on the frame of the cover art. The comics are exactly as the original versions, the inside cover are solid black as requested by the author and we put our hard work to make this book incredible with scans high quality restoration and a difficult lettering adaptation for the Italian version. You will not trust at your eyes looking at it in your hands.”
