Lucca Comics is already behind him, with his evenings in the Piazza Anfiteatro, its buckets of rain, its satisfactions, such as the release of second volume of Clouds Rapids who has been a success ... (for now).
As promised it is time to reveal something more about the project Yellow-billed for months now that has absorbed all my energy and I spolperà of each droplet of life until the end of January 2011.
The release is scheduled for February 2011 but on this point, I refer you to earlier this year for new news.
Here we are told so ... What?
E 'late at night when I see a documentary on Rai Tre, shot by Andrea Segre Dagmawi Yimer and collecting various testimonies of men and women Ethiopians from their country to make the long journey to the Libyan coast washed by the Mediterranean, hoping to embark on any boat or vessel to Italy.
The title of the video is beautiful "As a man on earth" .
... I think this is a story I want to tell ... It 's a story for Becco Giallo, the editor has always been involved in social issues, which I follow from the very beginning and very much appreciated. Having traced
Dagmawi, co-director and himself a star of a hellish journey from Ethiopia to Italy, organize an interview with one of the girls that appear in the documentary.
ask to interview and be able to make a comic book about its history.
I approach the interview with a wild dose of humility and respect for the 'argument that even I was hoping for more and the words flow and more anxiety and increase compliance.
One year and three months from Addis Ababa to Lampedusa. In the midst of an unimaginable inferno.Cose. The last days at sea, the Italian television so afraid of are just the tip of the iceberg ... the cruise are final.
From graphical point of view this book represents a turning point that has long been waiting. A clear break with Nuvole Rapide and its sign still partly academic. However, I leave to you the proceedings.
For now I say no more and leave you with some cover. Soon the first tables.
last grains ... the preface will thank you in advance that Moni Ovadia
for exceptional availability with which it has agreed to write it.
