Description

Hailed in Europe,Guido Buzzellihas been called "the Michaelangelo of monsters," "the Goya of comics," and "the patron saint of all Italian cartoonists."

A pioneer active from the 1950s-1980s, today virtually unknown in English, Buzzelli horrifies, fascinates, and provokes with his unique blend of surrealism and dynamism. Displaying a range of influences from Westerns and science fiction to Rennaisance art and futurism, Buzzelli's stories are a delightful, quasi-postmodern mishmash of high and low, showing an intricate hand and stylish narrative skill.

This final volume includes Guido Buzzelli'sfull-color science fiction epicZasafir, A Star For Ganymede, Resurrection,and the previously unpublishedIncomplete Zasafir. The volume concludes with one of his earliest masterpieces, Revolt of the Ugly.
