Buzzelli Collected Works Vol. 1 The Labyrinth

<p>Hailed in Europe, <b>Guido Buzzelli</b> has been called "the Michaelangelo of monsters," "the Goya of comics," and "the patron saint of all Italian cartoonists."</p><p>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.</p><p>The first of three volumes collecting Guido Buzzelli''s stories in English for the first time, includes <em>The Labyrinth</em> and <em>Zil Zelub</em>, two of the earliest Italian avant-garde graphic novels ever published. These fantastic and grotesque stories are the perfect introduction to Buzzelli''s work.</p><p>Nominated for a 2024 Ignatz award for Best Collected Edition.</p><p>Translated by Jamie Richards.
