Gianfranco Manfredi |
Period particularly active for Gianfranco Manfredi. Author of The Hidden Face Magic Wind and is working on the next Texone (which will work in tandem with the prodigious Carlos Gomez) and is developing a new miniseries entitled Shanghai Devil. But Manfredi activities do not stop there, between music and literature (his latest novel titled Techniques Resurrection came out very little for the Gargoyle Books) writer Milan finds time to give some very interesting interviews. One of them we were lucky enough to host HERE on our pages, while another - equally interesting - was published in number 680 of Wild Bunch on newsstands this month.
During the interview, very interesting, Gianfranco Manfredi talks comics course of his creatures, making some interesting statements about the project's original Magic Wind and his subsequent, almost natural development into something different. In that regard, the author said: "The project truly did not have much to do with what I wrote then, in the sense that at first I only plan to revive the Western genre with the inclusion of typical horror themes and situations. Then, as my kind of horror travel between social realism and dream-like delirium, and it is not the playful type, I was pointed out that I could run the risk of exaggeration in darkness and fear to do too much to younger readers and the readers.
These concerns editorial type, but not unfounded, I was motivated to give more prominence to historical context and with the psychology of the characters. There is a certain fragility
in the character of Poe is quello di Ned Ellis detto Magico Vento. La fragilità è in genere un elemento che si trascura nel dipingere un eroe, ma se si vanno a vedere i poemi classici, l’eroe è sempre un concentrato di forza e di debolezza, altrimenti dove sta il coraggio? Tutti gli Achille hanno un tallone esposto, diciamo così. Gli eroi tutti d’un pezzo sono intollerabilmente finti. I lettori e le lettrici hanno molto apprezzato questo punto di vista. Da sceneggiatori a volte si è portati a pensare che quello che conta è un plot avvincente, invece la vera centralità in un racconto d’avventura è rappresentata dai personaggi. Se la storia non è storia di qualcuno, non è interessante. E se questo qualcuno non ha una personalità ricca e contrastata è solo un eroe di paper.
Shanghai Devil is, according to statements they Manfredi, a following that comes a little 'surprise and which never would have thought to bet according to sales forecasts Hidden Face of : " Hidden Face It was expected that it would be a flop, because they were too many years since they set the scene, even to the movies, colonial scenarios. Instead, the cartoon went beyond the most optimistic expectation, and has in some way shown that readers are very better and far more curious and thirsty for news of what is generally not see them as professionals .
words very encouraging to read the rest of the interview I refer to the current issue of Wild Bunch.
