Liberatore

Ah, les Vespa, les jupes legeres, la piazza Navone a la tombee du soir, Anita Ekberg dans la fontaine de Trevi… La dolce vita quoi ! Certains disent que si les François sont les rois de l'amour, les Italiens en sont probablement les cesars…
Alors que I'ete s'installe enfin et que la temperature monte a vue d'oeil, nous avons voulu rendre hommage a la BD erotique transalpine qui a accompagne les premiers émois de pas mal de nos lecteurs et lectrices.

Heavy Metal is an American science fiction and fantasy comics magazine, known primarily for its blend of dark fantasy/science fiction and erotica. In the mid-1970s, while publisher Leonard Mogel was in Paris to jump-start the French edition of National Lampoon, he discovered the French science-fantasy magazine Métal Hurlant which had debuted December 1974. The French title translates literally as “screaming metal.”

When Mogel licensed the American version, he chose to rename it, and Heavy Metal began in the United States on April, 1977 as a glossy, slick full-color monthly. Initially, it displayed translations of graphic stories originally published in Métal Hurlant, including work by Enki Bilal, Jean Giraud (also known as Moebius), Phillippe Druillet and Phillippe Caza. The magazine later ran Stefano Tamburini and Tanino Liberatore's ultra-violent.

Ranx, el barriobajero sintético, es un robot locamente enamorado de Lubna, una pequeña lianta de doce años permanentemente chutada y con un carácter execrable. Para encontrarle droga, desembarazarse de sus amantes y complacerla en cualquier circunstancia, Ranx irá de Roma a Nueva York, de la masacre colectiva a la performance de music-hall, pasando por la predicación de la Buena Nueva…
Precursor del movimiento cyberpunk, ultraviolento, sexual y sin tabús, Ranx es la serie de culto de los años ochenta que renovó el Noveno Arte.

Quello di Jean Fallot è un caso singolare: il caso di uno scrittore molto più noto in Italia che in Francia: da noi tradotto e introdotto, e nel suo Paese tenuto in disparte per il riserbo dei suoi studi e per i suoi atteggiamenti politici. Filosofo marxista, uscito dal Pcf nel 1964, con una chiara rottura verso sinistra ma con un altrettanto lucido giudizio sugli estremi movimenti gauchisti, Fallot non è mai mancato a un impegno militante anche nella sua attività intellettuale, di cui questo saggio su Epicuro - appositamente riscritto e ampliato per l'edizione italiana che qui presentiamo - è un frutto straordinario L'opera è una lettura dall'interno dei testi epicurei
