Hailed in Europe, Guido Buzzelli has been called "the Michaelangelo of monsters," "the Goya of comics," and "the patron saint of all Italian cartoonists."

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.

This final volume includes Guido Buzzelli''s full-color science fiction epic Zasafir, A Star For Ganymede, Resurrection, and the previously unpublished Incomplete Zasafir. The volume features his earliest masterpiece, The Revolt of the Wretched. This satirical examination of class war is credited for inventing the independent Italian graphic novel.

Translated by Jamie Richards. Introduction by Valerio Stive.

Industry Reviews

"Buzzelli is a grand master of comics, whose art is equally effective and powerful both in his realistic representations and in his grotesque caricatures." - Alias cultural supplement of Il manifesto
"Pungent, defiant, derisive; Buzzelli's art is loaded with a grotesque strength and shows a decadent and vulgar world." - Robinson, cultural supplement of La Repubblica
