"Comic books do not contamination, and live entirely on trade with languages \u200b\u200bsuch as literature, film or poetry. They also have their own distinct identity and a core of characteristics that make them unique and different from any other art. "
Thus begins back cover of the book by Luigi Siviero .
addition to marry 100% what is the basis for talking about comics, that is, their specific identity and independence, I would venture to propose that the above phrase is "tattooed on the forehead" to many of those that comics do , but especially many of those comics would do it.
For the famous and elusive "dignity of Comics" that must be credited to this correct view of peculiarities non-derivative, only this type of consciousness, not the rise in prices ... the comics, can give dignity and this should be the responsibility of its first persons who have the duty to respect it, the comic strip fans, experts, operators, who does a webzine. As it happens
Siviero is and does all these things and his work contributes effectively to give dignity to our favorite art medium.
Little known "autobiographical" both he and I, we work on this webzine - fumettidicarta.it - for years, Siviero, indeed, is one of the most shining columns, but we never met in person (the joys of the Internet ...). I am told is a pretty tall guy, but beyond these aesthetic note, I can say that he saw Siviero grow in the fullest sense of the word. From the first, have excellent written for a fledgling webzine still reeling and scared, the last articles the result of a cultural and human passion and curiosity really powerful, than that - I am absolutely certain - is that his first comic book . The title itself makes me think that Siviero has already decided to enter into a sort of necklace - 'Analysis of comics' , in fact - of which his future essays on this 'The composition of the pairs of tables,' is only the first. The culture of comics
Siviero grows continuously and is really beautiful, and absolutely indispensable!, have the staff to fumettidicarta because what he says and writes, forums, blogs , in interviews, in its collaborations, it is always the result of passionate research and reflection that allow nothing to laziness or conclusions drawn away in a hurry.
It 'just the topic chosen by the author to encourage and stimulate reflection not only on autonomy and individuality of comic language, but also on what can be demanding his full understanding, and the need for the participation of the reader that the comic narrative can be entirely successful, can function at its best. It is not only
construction of the table itself to need all the care, attention, expertise and professionalism possible by the cartoonist, but is also available, the sequence of boards facing opposition or causing different moods in the drive, emotional and of true "reading comprehension".
a conclusion would seem trivial, it is not: so much so that Siviero brings us some examples as "neglect" carried out by certain publishing houses that print a story not in the order of the arrangement of tables desired author, they come to result of distorting the effect that the cartoonist wanted to reach toward the reader.
One such example is the picture you can see here in the upper right, the one on Superman , taken from the history For the Man who had everything of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons .
Alan Moore has built the story thinking about certain effects, plot twists, surprises the reader to prove, a construction that takes into account a lot of tables for couples or facing opposition, for example. A press that does not comply with this fluidity of language, is a print that betrays the very spirit of the narrative. So when readers complain about some "freedom" that editors and publishing houses are taken against comics perhaps it is not only "complaints from nerd" .
Siviero's book deals, therefore, in a technical and comprehensive look at its technical much time - and often overlooked, but fundamental - the comic language. But this argument so technical show to anyone who wants to overcome a certain liabilities of use of the comics that the creative process of making comics is not at all simple, childish or, on the other hand, walking loanable other "noble" (?!?...) arts. Making comics is not something on which we can improvise as best, it is nonsense to which anyone can engage and not just an illusory "sacred spark" to get decent results just barely. This was something that the comic has in common with the other arts as well as a camera is not enough to make a film or a PC to make a writer (or a webzine to make a critic), so not just "the desire to storytelling "to create good comics.
Whoever reads this book will, finally, large probability of being devoured by the desire to re-read - or read for the first time - of which the comics Siviero talks. It 's a healthy desire to experience a re / read more aware be carried out with the new tools that the book suggests, enriching the meaning, and pleasure of reading, with more interesting and intelligent stimuli.
will be a cliche (or rather, let's be honest: it is without appeal), but in this case is absolutely sincere: 'Analysis of the comic - The composition of the pairs of tables,' is a book that must not fail in the library of every true fan of comics.
I wish Louis to continue to grow as a critic of comics and to continue to be a careful observer, deep and shiny.
a hope that we instead of me as a reader - and extend to all those who will read with satisfaction this first organic Luigi Siviero - is to soon be able to read another important essay on the comic strip to his work. There's really needed.
