Floating World Comics
24 October 2024

Science fiction; Fantasy; Graphic novels

After creating the first independent graphic novel in Italy, the award-winning illustrator reinvents the genre comic.

The second of three volumes collecting Guido Buzzelli's stories in English for the first time, this volume showcases two science fiction tales that turn the canon upside down, penetrating myth and tearing it apart. HP is a hallucinatory, Lovecraftian locomotive, an acrid parody of Italian westerns; while the alchemical retro-future of Morganna performs an autopsy of modern life's horrors.

These fantastic and grotesque stories demonstrate whyBuzzelliwas called ""the Goya of comics"".

One of Europe's most praised comics auteurs,Buzzelli Collected Worksarethe perfect introduction to his masterful skill and subversive art.
