Finally, thanks to the 001 we see a another edition of this pair of authors working in Argentina. In fact, after Video Noir, Borderline, and Chicanos Fulù (incomplete in Italy) we also Vampire Boy.
The duo is dynamic and varied with the titles listed above have all kinds, and I know that when I buy something written by Trillo go on the safe side, let alone if there Risso designs.
Admittedly Vampir Boy do not excel, that is not a masterpiece, but it's a long story very well balanced, with no slips, keeping a steady pace and you enjoy reading to the end.
Trillo does not want to overdo it and so simply tell the story of this nameless Egyptian child, immortalized by the sun god, he is forced to a long face to face with another immortal in centuries, the evil Ahmasi, priestess of the snake. The ability
Trillo, true master of narrative structure, runs along the centuries among the Egyptians, ancient Rome, crusades, inquisitions and witch hunts to get to this day. The volume of breathing pauses characterized the flashbacks and the stories making the small Egyptian, so Risso can show us all his amazing black and white, moving quickly from one 'another time to return to show us the city today.
to remember is the passage in which the child tells the destruction of six of the seven wonders of antiquity: for masterful narrative power and synthesis of speech.
