Giulio Rincione DIRT - volume 1 I Figli di Edin

Dirt is a raw, grotesque, dystopian tale, which contains a reflection on memory, human beings and all of us, as people.

DIRT - volume 2 Skeentopolis

“Inside Dirt there’s a bit of everything: it reminds me of The Last of Us, Us, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Rabbit, Billy Bat. Bat. The worldbuilding is cool, and inside there is a bit of thriller, road movie, buddy movie. It’s a beautiful story, of those that are a pleasure to read.

Rincione is a great artist, a creator and a skillful builder of panels. Each panel looks like a complete painting.”

The Sons of Edin

In 2040, a lethal virus has killed most of the world’s population, turning Earth into a desolate land.

He was created in the 50s by an advertising company who made him a star as the face of a brand of cigarettes.

Dirt is arrogant and ill-tempered, and that’s the reason why he has lost many things in life. So, he now travels in a destroyed world hoping to find his death. Instead, he meets the Sons of Edin, a group of violent wanderers born after the pandemic, and, very unexpectedly, finds a way to move forward…

Preface of David Randall, senior editor of Independent on Sunday

The true story of Nellie Bly, born in New York in the second half of the xix Century, the first woman journalist to deal with the news. A graphic novel telling the story of a woman who became an icon, examined through the juxtaposition with a girl who wants to pursue the same career.

The story, told through her memories, recalls her professional adventures: when she pretended to be crazy and she was interned to carry out an investigation about a mental hospital, or when she solo travelled around the world in 72 days, in a period when such actions were unthinkable for a woman.

Nellie Bly was one of the few journalists who interviewed Belva Ann Lockwood, the first woman nominated to the US presidential elections in 1884. In those years, the first advertising campaigns were born, and many of them used Bly’s face.

"Controra" is a term used in southern Italy to name the hottest hour of the day, when one rests during Summer days. It is precisely at this moment, while her parents sleep in the tourist village where they are spending their holidays, that Viola meets a local boy while repairing an old boat. The young man does not seem like everyone else, and from the few words exchanged with her, she perceives his particular sensitivity and wants to help him. Very people soon, the spark of love ignites between the two young people.

The encounters between Viola and Ireneo are considered wrong parents to the point to forbid them and punish her; it is by her parents, possible that her friends, too, would find them wrong, if only they secret On the knew, and this is why Viola doesn’t tell them her secret. contrary, the relationship between her friend Valeria and Gabriele is considered “right”, almost “perfect”, at least for some time.

Viola e Ireneo find their “space” to grow, grow experiment and become what they are while the others, especially the adults, cannot see mistake” is a central element but a “mistake”… and the concept of “mistake for our story.

Hanno voluto che mi iscrivessi a una scuola seria, che mi desse una preparazione solida. Sono sempre stata brava a scuola...

Secondo me dovresti fare la pittrice.

E come mai non ti sei iscritta all’artistico?

Disegni così bene.

Mah... è solo un passatempo.

Forse sì, mi sarebbe piaciuto fare l’artistico, ma non ho provato neanche a proporlo ai miei, non me lo avrebbero mai permesso.

Già mi vedono avvocato o manager d’impresa.

This story is set in a future so close, that it’s already here. It doesn’t contain possible scary scenarios, but a reality that is already oppressing us: the consequences of climate change and ecological disruption that we deal with every day. This book shows how the impact of human actions on the environment is not an abstract topic, but it is instead an evident and irreversible reality.

The stories of the two main characters are like the two sides of the same coin. You can decide where to start from, and understand that we are the ones who build our future, day after day.
