HP is the second volume in Floating World Comics' ongoing project to collect and translate this prominent Italian comics creator who has been largely overlooked here in the United States collects two graphic novels – HP and Morganna – that were originally published in Italy in 1974 and 1975 – fifty years ago. Here's what Floating World Comics has to say:
'After creating the first independent graphic novel in Italy, the award-winning illustrator reinvents the genre comic.
The second of three volumes collecting Guido Buzzelli’s stories in English for the first time, this volume showcases two science fiction tales that turn the canon upside down, penetrating myth and tearing it apart. HP is a hallucinatory, Lovecraftian locomotive, an acrid parody of Italian westerns; while the alchemical retro-future of Morganna performs an autopsy of modern life’s horrors.
These fantastic and grotesque stories demonstrate why Buzzelli was called “the Goya of comics”. One of Europe’s most praised comics auteurs, the Ignatz nominated Buzzelli Collected Works are the perfect introduction to his masterful skill and subversive art."
