Стигматы Клаудио Пьерсанти
ISBN: 978-5-906331-98-4 Год издания: 2020 Издательство: Бумкнига Язык: Русский РазвернутьГрафический роман «Стигматы» – это своего рода современное De Profundis: история неустроенного алкоголика, у которого неожиданно, в том числе для него самого, открылись стигматы – незаживающие раны на руках, как у святых. Выполненный в экспрессивном, а порой отдающем безумием графическом стиле, роман насыщен библейскими аллюзиями и цитатами из жития Святой Терезы из Лизьё. И всё это для того, чтобы напомнить нам древнюю истину: даже в самой кромешной тьме есть шанс выйти к Свету. Эта книга является результатом сотрудничества между превосходным итальянским сценаристом Клаудио Пьерсанти и выдающимся итальянским художником Лоренцо Маттотти,…

Megahex Simon Hanselmann
ISBN: 978-1-60699-743-7 Год издания: 2014 Издательство: Fantagraphics РазвернутьMegg is a depressed, drug-addicted witch. Mogg is her black cat. Their friend, Owl, is an anthropomorphized owl. They hang out a lot with Werewolf Jones. This may sound like a pure stoner comedy, but it transcends the genre: these characters struggle unsuccessfully to come to grips with their depression, drug use, sexuality, poverty, lack of work, lack of ambition, and their complex feelings about each other in ways that have made Megg and Mogg sensations on Hanselmann's Girl Mountain Tumblr. This is the first collection of Hanselmann's work, freed from its cumbersome Internet prison, and sure to be one of the most talked about graphic…
