![]() ![]() ![]() “ Images Come First“, by architect Andrea Alberghini, was originally published in the magazine MAS Context #20 “Narrative” (and later in Italian in the online magazine Fumettologica, under the title “ Manuele Fior e l’architettura: una conversazione“). The following interview was given by Manuele Fior to Andrea Alberghini, editor of Comic Metropolis, a very recommended Italian blog dedicated to the relationships between comics, narrative and architecture, and we believe it represents a good introduction to the artistic sensibility of the Italian cartoonist. This background is the more and more visible in his stories, as the author is trying to channel his interest in architecture and urban development into his personal narrative. Author of many successful graphic novels, Fior has studied architecture and even worked as an architect for some years before entirely dedicating to comics. ![]() It is a long time that we wanted to publish the work of Italian comic artist, illustrator (and friend) Manuele Fior.

He managed to get the barest taste of water before the cup folded inward beneath his fingers, rivulets missing his tie but drenching the sleeve of his dress shirt. The longer this ordeal dragged on, the more likely it was that sooner or later he’d show up to the next endless session wearing his Olympic rowing jacket. After so many days, months, hell, years, the tie was hardly necessary. He was trying his best to sip filtered water from a tissue-thin disposable cup, without spilling too much onto his tie. It was a little past three on a Friday afternoon, and Tyler Winklevoss stood by a floor-to-ceiling window overlooking a pincushion of similar office buildings piercing the midday fog.

For me it is the best of the Kane tales and Kane strikes a deeper chord for me than any of the others, but honestly, it is hard to go wrong with his work. ![]() ![]() If I were to pick one story I'd say Bloodstone. Pulp stories, Lovecraftian stories, horror and adventure and just damn weird stories. His Kane books fall somewhere beside Howard's Conan, somewhere down a dark and twisted version of Earth and Hyperborea where man is just the latest and far from the most powerful occupier of the planet, where raw strength, intelligence and determination follow a nightmare path of sorcery and death.Īs much as I love the Kane stories it was reading two of his Weird Tales style anthologies that I came to appreciate the talent and versatility of Wagner. ![]() ![]() ![]() I've never been happier in my life!" He created many beloved characters in his lifetime, perhaps the most beloved among them a stuffed, overall-wearing bear named Corduroy.

Sabin slanted her a quick glance from his midnight eyes. Rachel slowly released her pent-up breath, relief making her legs wobble. For a moment Joe’s ears went back and he snarled softly, but he made no move to bite. “Good boy, good boy.” Stiffly he moved his left arm to pat the dog’s head. For a moment the dog quivered on the verge of attack, then, abruptly, he went to Sabin’s side and took up the heeling position. ![]() She could see Joe shake, and his ears went back.

The new sun, dubbed "Lucifer", has transformed the moons of the former Jupiter: Io has become a volcanic hellhole, Europa an ocean world shrouded by clouds, and Ganymede a temperate world that the human race is colonizing.
