RUTU MODAN - Unknow / UNKNOWN
Unknow / Unknown is a good comic Israeli Rutu Modan who speaks of the death of a father during an attack and its research by the son and lover.
Someone described the style of photography Modan, but I call it more essential than anything else. Besides all his use of narrative approaches is essential. Starting from design, a clear line staff and direct through the backgrounds always in the background, to achieve a color rarely so functional.
In fact the first thing I notice is his use of color, sharp and clean, for once, put them not forcibly or side dish, but to create a break and to emphasize what the events revolve. You can easy to see the landscapes that surround the characters are always much more subtle of the characters themselves and the objects involved in the action are increasingly highlighted over others. I do not know if it can be considered a kind of innovation, I do not know if anyone has ever done before, but as I see this device helps both the interpretation of the reader, whether the conduct of the narrative.
The issues tackled by the author are very strong: the disappearance of a father, father son relationship conflict, attacks, love, relationship conflict and the conflict between the upper and lower classes play an important role in keeping glued to the book .
The story then sees different genres merge together and uncertain times reads like a novel on the road, then one of love, then a war, and then a yellow.
Certainly the work highlights the lifestyle and the historical moment of Israel, a nation far away from our traditions and customs. The strength is that the author maintains a radical departure from all the situations that occur using them only as background for the conduct of the characters, just as using color.
The open-ended, and could also be the beginning of a new story.

HORNSCHEMEIER PAUL - MAMA COMING HOME
I had already talked about this author reviewing The three paradoxes.
Mom, coming home is a work that precedes the above-mentioned and the one that has made him known worldwide making him win various prizes.
The book tells the story of Thomas, a child of seven years after the loss of his mother finds himself having to maintain focus on a father who, shocked by, loses her mind.
The dream world in which the two take refuge (the children dressed up and going crazy father) presents the idea of \u200b\u200bsurrender to life on the other hand is più comodo ignorare i problemi che affrontarli.
E' comunque da qua che parte la tematica della relazione padre-figlio che rivedremo anche ne I tre paradossi, ed è sempre da qua che si delinea lo stile narrativo ad ampio raggio dell'autore.
Fumetto forte, caratterizzato dalla mancanza di humour e incentrato su un emotività cupa e introspettiva, Mamma, torna a casa è da considerasi l'inizio del pensiero "hornschemeiriano".
Pur traendo ispirazione da opere di autori come Clowes o Ware, l'autore riesce a creare momenti originali e ispiratissimi, creando sequenze e ritmi fra disegni e parole con un'abilità che nessun altro fumettista in circolazione possiede.
Bella la scelta di presentare i capitoli come introduzioni al libro, che si chiude con l'intestazione: “Capitolo uno. Ora siamo liberi”. Come a lasciare una porta aperta alla vita, ad un nuovo corso che permetterà a quel bambino di crescere per poi raccontarci i suoi ricordi.
Grazie alla Tenué per aver tradotto in italiano un fumetto cosi bello.

JESSICA ABEL - ARTBABE
Artbabe è una serie che viene autoprodotta nel '96 per quattro numeri per poi venire pubblicata per altri cinque dalla Fantagraphics. The Italian volume collects the last five numbers, those of full maturity of expression.
The short stories that make up the book tell of young middle-class and their problems, mostly social and relational.
Honestly, I was most struck by the casual way in which the multi-faceted and Abel confronts their own stories. His greatest ability is to be able to do a story about having to be exhausted, despite the verbosity of his texts, and to draw up a scheme of cartoons very precise and always functional, infusing the narrative an increasingly dynamic and never static.
These stories can be considered the real lessons on comics: in each story è applicato un metodo diverso e uno stile particolare. Gli elementi che invece ritornano sempre a sottolineare la bravura e la funzionalità dell'opera sono le pause silenziose, i tagli improvvisi da una scena all'altra e i finali aperti.
Artbabe è uno di quei fumetti che fanno bene al fumetto, che in qualche modo lo rinnovano e che quindi vanno letti.
