Volume 3 - 1st printing. "Revolt of the Ugly!" Written by Guido Buzzelli, Grazia de Stefani, and Giorgo Dell'Arti. Art and cover by Guido Buzzelli. Translated by Jamie Richards. Introduction by Valerio Stive. Hailed in Europe, Guido Buzzelli has 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Guido Buzzelli's full-color science fiction epic Zasafir, A Star For Ganymede, Resurrection, and the previously unpublished Incomplete Zasafir. The volume concludes with his earliest masterpiece, credited for inventing the independent Italian graphic novel, Revolt of the Ugly. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 160 pages, PC/PB&W. Mature Readers Cover price $34.99.
