    Disney comics from Italy♦ © Francesco Stajano 1997-1999 http://i.am/filologo.disneyano/ A Roberto, amico e cugino So what exactly shall we look at? First of all, the Introduction fascinating “prehistory” (early Thirties) where a few pioneering publishers and creators established a Disney Most of us die-hard Disney fans are in love with those presence in Italy. Then a look at some of the authors, seen comics since our earliest childhood; indeed, many of us through their creations. Because comics are such an learnt to read from the words in Donald’s and Mickey’s obviously visual medium, the graphical artists tend to get balloons. Few of us, though, knew anything about the the lion’s share of the critics’ attention; to compensate for creators of these wonderful comics: they were all this, I have decided to concentrate on the people who calligraphically signed by that “Walt Disney” guy in the actually invent the stories, the script writers (though even first page so we confidently believed that, somewhere in thus I’ve had to miss out many good ones). This seems to America, a man by that name invented and drew each and be a more significant contribution to Disney comics every one of those different stories every week. As we studies since, after all, it will be much easier for you to grew up, the quantity (too many) and quality (too read a lot about the graphical artists somewhere else. And different) of the stories made us realise that this man of course, by discussing stories I will also necessarily could not be doing all this by himself; but still, we touch on the work of the artists anyway.

  • Biografia Giorgio Cavazzano
    BIOGRAFIA GIORGIO CAVAZZANO Giorgio Cavazzano è uno dei più celebri e innovativi disegnatori di fumetti al mondo. Nato a Venezia il 19 ottobre 1947, ha solo dodici anni quando inizia a collaborare con il cugino, Luciano Capitanio, aiutandolo nell’inchiostrazione di tavole a fumetti per Mondadori e Dardo, e per una storia apparsa sul mensile Voci d’Oltremare. Ancora adolescente va “a bottega” dal disegnatore Romano Scarpa e, a quindici anni, a partire dal numero 370 di Topolino del dicembre 1962, diventa suo inchiostratore di fiducia. È il 1967 quando esordisce come disegnatore su Topolino con Paperino e il singhiozzo a martello, mentre per la prima sceneggiatura si dovrà attendere il 1985, con Zio Paperone e il cambio della guardia. Il suo stile iniziale risente molto di quello di Scarpa e della tradizione imperante fino a quel momento che vedeva in Carl Barks un punto di riferimento. Col procedere della carriera Cavazzano inizia a maturare uno stile sempre più personale che lo porterà a una scalata nel gradimento dei lettori, tracciando una linea spartiacque con la tradizionale rappresentazione di topi e paperi di disneyana memoria. Innumerevoli i personaggi creati graficamente negli anni: da Reginella e Umperio Bogarto, da Ok Quack a Pandy Pap fino al più recente Rock Sassi. Dal 1981 realizza storie Disney per il settimanale francese Journal de Mickey e copertine per i periodici Mickey Parade e Super Picsou Géant. A partire dal 1994 disegna copertine e storie per la casa editrice scandinava Egmont, tra cui la saga di Dragonlords del 2003. Nel 1999, con Tito Faraci, imposta il ciclo noir del periodico MM Mickey Mouse Mystery Magazine.

Presentazione di Federico Fiecconi Nell'estate del 1934 debuttava sullo schermo Donald Fauntleroy Duck, un legnoso papero tracagnotto e scansafatiche. Nel corso di 8 decenni le storie di carta e pellicola di Paperino hanno conquistato l’empatia di generazioni di appassionati lettori e spettatori. Il fenomeno ha messo radici speciali proprio in Italia, grazie anche all’apporto di tanti autori di spicco che hanno insaporito la carriera del personaggio di nuovi tasselli. In occasione di un compleanno speciale, bene ha fatto Little Nemo, in coordinamento con The Walt Disney Company Italia, a organizzare un’asta che è un’occasione speciale - e a oggi unica al mondo - per ritrovare una serie di piccoli grandi capolavori e rarità collezionistiche. Preziosi "originali" come illustrazioni, tavole dei fumetti, disegni di animazione, firmati dagli autori più rappresentativi al di qua e aldilà dell’Oceano.

  • Topolino E L'unghia Di Kalì
    LA stORIA TOPOLINO E PRIMA EDIZIONE: T 183-184 (25/3-10/4/1958) L’UNGHIA DI KALÌ SUCCESSIVE EDIZIONI: CWD 12 [Supergiallo di Topolino] Soggetto, sceneggiatura e matite (7/1963); CWDNS 21 [Supergiallo di Topolino] (9/1978); CD 1 di Romano Scarpa ‒ Chine di (6/7/1992); TM 47 (4/1996); SCT (2003); SPD 32 [75° Topolino] Luciano Gatto ‒ 50 tavole (2003); GC 239 (10/2006); MID 1 [Topolino] (9/2/2009) ivisa in due tempi come un film, Topolino e l’unghia di Kalì è per molti versi un omaggio di Scarpa alla lettera- Dtura e al cinema di genere noir e hard-boiled. Dopo un inizio decisamente ironico, l’avventura assume l’andamento nar- rativo di un giallo. Si respirano echi di classiche storie quali Topo- lino e il mistero di Macchia Nera del 1939 ed è abbastanza eviden- te la connessione tra le macchine fotografiche che Topolino va cercando nella storia di Gottfredson con i dischi di quella di Scar- pa. Vi sono poi impliciti riferimenti ai film di Alfred Hitchcock. La residenza dell’attrice Mayne Mansfielp ricorda la villa di Phil- lip Vandamm (James Mason) in Intrigo Internazionale (North by Northwest, 1959), mentre la scena successiva rimanda a La fi- nestra sul cortile (Rear Window, 1954). Di matrice hitchcockia- na è anche la suspense che tiene continuamente alta l’attenzio- ne del lettore. L’uso del retino tipografico assume qui una doppia valenza. Da un lato crea una ulteriore connessione con le strisce quotidiane, dall’altro è funzionale alle atmosfere noir della storia. Siglata “RS-10” nell’ultima vignetta.
