Here then is a list of our comics to choose from to start a good read…
FABIA CLAUDIA AND CLAUDIA FABIA
The first comic published by La Novella Orchidea with drawings by Calogero Burgio, it consists entirely of black and white plates and faithfully reproduces the story of the same name by Ricardo Tronconi. Short and intense, it is perfect for those who want to experience an ‘Asterix and Obelix’-style adventure, amidst atavistic memories and unforgettable battles… in the heart of ancient Rome!
You can find it on Kobo and all major online eBook stores.
THE MOVE
Have you ever had a dream in which Newton was giving you advice on your love life? The protagonist of this comic book… yes! The drawings are always by Calogero Burgio, the plates are always in black and white and the theme is always historical: so far, everything is the same… or is it? In this case, the protagonist does not live in ancient Rome, but in a small village in northern Italy during the Risorgimento period. Finding himself by chance in the middle of a hellish battle with his cousin, he learns to his cost how thin the threshold between Eros… and Thanatos is.
You can find it on Amazon and all major online eBook stores.
THE WEIGHT OF AIR
An all-colour noir to enjoy by candlelight. Thanks to Calogero Burgio’s skilful drawing and Ricardo Tronconi’s chilling story, you will find yourself part of an unsolved murder mystery in an old villa full of mysteries. Who is the culprit, and why? But most importantly… will you make it out alive?
You can find it on Hoepli and all major online eBook stores.
THE INDISCREET CREASES OF SPACE
If you have always wanted to travel through time, this colour comic book drawn by Calogero Burgio is just for you. You will experience a romantic adventure with some betrayal and a little spice… on Nelson’s ship at Trafalgar, no less! I won’t spoil the ending, revenge will be served very cold!
You can find it on Ibs and all major online eBook stores.
THE SOUL QUANTUM THEORY
We change hands and find colour drawings by Marco Visentin, but always with a story by Ricardo Tronconi. Any one, you ask? No sirs (and ladies)! The very first novella published in this series, hence the eponymous title. A lively, dreamlike, at times religious tale… but, above all, irreverent, ironic and erotic. And the final appendix is signed by a ‘character’ you will certainly recognise!
You can find it on Rizzoli and all the main online eBook stores.
LO SCERIFFO DI GODHILL ON AVON
Marco Visentin’s latest full-colour work, this comic is an overwhelming mix of “L’Orlando Furioso” and “Twin Peaks”… with the magic touch of a Fata Morgana (or rather, a Fatuo Morgano). What more can you say? It will keep you glued to the pages until the end… without taking away the doubt of what is true and what is false.
You can find it on Mondadori and all major online eBook stores.
Choose the comic you like best… and once you’ve finished reading, move on to the next one! What are you waiting for?
