Critics Review

“The first self-conscious author in comics.” – Domingos Isabelinho

“A cornerstone of Italian auteur comics.” – Fabio Donalisio“Buzzelli’s work manages to vividly convey the visionary energy and the unmistakable style of those roaring and extraordinary years in which it was made.” – Emanuele Trevi“Buzzelli is a grand master of comics, whose art is equally effective and powerful both in his realistic representations and in his grotesque caricatures.” – Alias cultural supplement of Il manifesto“Pungent, defiant, derisive; Buzzelli’s art is loaded with a grotesque strength and shows a decadent and vulgar world.” – Robinson, cultural supplement of La Repubblica“A gorgeous bit of primo Italian pulp-against-pulp, frenetic and propulsive and a joy from start to finish.” – Hagai Palevsky, The Comics Journal
