Ti ricordi, questa storia l’avevamo già sentita… animali rari, riti segreti, leggende di cui è meglio non parlare…
A dire la verità, Badù, me ne rimarrei tranquillamente nell’oblio del tema…
Ci sono, Armand! La Maga! Kourouma si riferisce a lei!
Ma il vecchio è un uomo di scienza e di cultura, non spingerebbe mai nessuno verso la magia!
Astier non è una maga come le altre, è una maga malinconica… e ha la stima di Kourouma!
Ora ricordo tutto, dovevo essere molto piccolo, ma ricordo la sua voce… cantava o recitava…
Capisci bene che non possiamo girare a casaccio una foresta per un tuo sogno da bambino…
Non era un sogno, Armand, guarda laggiù!

Luca Russo The stylistic key feature of his work is characterized by the endless interaction of the language of comics with the painting’s one. His Ƥ VWX KVETLMG RSZIP (in)certe stanze is published by TunuÊ in 2007. Always with TunuÊ, he publishes Guardami piÚ forte (2008). Both books were written by Cristiano Silvi, author with whom he collaborated for the short story Passione esoterica (Mono, TunuÊ, 2008), too. He is one of the artists of the collective graphic novel Nero Napoletano (Corriere del Mezzogiorno, 2010) and the illustrator of the novel Prima che il diavolo se ne accorga (Cooper Edizioni, 2010).
Alberto has spent his entire life with his shoulders happily bent on the keys of a piano or with his body and mind turned to Giulia, the solitary woman with the sad smile and the hypnotic grace, who unconditionally loved. After her death, Alberto is swallowed by an EFWIRGI which is transformed into a HVIEQ PMOI and WYVVIEP ZS]EKI to the rooms of the mind. It is here that the need and, at the same time, the inability to play again gives shape to a series of images where the spirit of Art, together with the woman’s one, stirs in the rooms of empty museums, among the clouds of livid skies and in the dark spaces of thick and ghostly forests, thus forcing him to reckon with the total loss of himself. Luca Russo returns with an enchanting work, full of a surprising painting might, where the shiver and the torment for what was lost inspires every word and every note of colour.

He worked as illustrator, comic artist, colourist and animation consultant for Disney and De Agostini. For Tunué he already published La with Daniele Mocci and Elena Grigoli.
The strong bond between Walt and his brother Roy Oliver, partners in business adventures, told as a useful historical excursus which covers the steps of the Disney studio and its success in the history of cinema. Everything is supervised by Roy, a person incredibly shy and deliberately distant from the spotlight, but at the same time a faultless businessman, able to run a vast number of employees and establish connections with the most important people of that period, from Howard Hughes to the Bank of America, to Benito Mussolini, as well. The relationship between the two brothers - sometimes turbulent, at other times knowing, always very well-matched - is the central key of the success of the most famous multinational company in the world. A success which can be read as mediation between the characteristics of the two men: the sometime wild creativity of Walt, who had an incredible eye for the opportunities and an arrogance at times troublesome, is balanced with the calmness of Roy, his oral art and his always persuasive ability to acquaint with other people

The visionary talent of Davide Garota returns with a graphic novel delivering some atmospheres which may remember the Vertigo series style, but with a very personal touch. Jerry, a former Green Beret of the US Army, burnt-out by a life of sufferings and with a severely ill daughter, is a cold serial killer. His life utterly changes when he meets a beautiful girl - Death - who convinces him to work for her. But every deal with the Eternals has some obligations from which it is impossible to escape. The alone against everyone, forced to run away in the dustiest and remote corners of the States. There, he discovers a hidden past and some ancestral ties with the mystical and visionaries forces of the shamans.
