Only in Italian language
A bio-interview
Introduction by Vincenzo Mollica
Brossura, 176 pages, 17x23 cm.
From childhood games on the banks of the Lake of Garda to huge international success: the passions, voyages, ideas, studies and experiences of the great Italian cartoonist.
His beginnings in a little studio in Verona, his first professional commissions, his meeting and friendship with fundamental personalities such as Hugo Pratt and Federico Fellini up to the genesis of works such as "El Gaucho" and "Il Gioco" that confirmed his position on the world stage as a master of art cartoons.
Milo Manara gives us his version of the comic strip as Art but also as Profession, describing the creative process, the sources of inspiration, the techniques and attention to detail that make his comic strips genuine narrative works. A vast photograph collection and a section for author's signings, works sketched for him in homage by colleagues and friends from all over the world, complete this volume.
From the introduction by Vincenzo Mollica
In this book, Manara (finally) tells us about himself, bringing it home to us that we are the stories we have lived and imagined. Now it is his turn to explain the inexplicable, using words as if they were paintbrushes, pens, pencils or colours.
It is his turn to draw us into his life of adventure, guiding us through the labyrinth of his thoughts, giving us a glimpse of the play on feelings that crowns his imagination.
