vaillant Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 Donald Duck #372 - NM+ - $16A gorgeous, almost flawless copy of the first US appearance of Paperinik (the diabolical Duck Avenger), created by italian Disney pioneering writer Guido Martina in 1969. The Duck Avenger, despite the fact that he’s been gradually presented along the years as a sort of super-hero, in these original stories by Martina was conceived as an anti-hero. Inspired more by Fantômas and the then-emerging italian "fumetti neri", Paperinik is a sort of machiavellian Robin Hood, which fights the rich to defend the poor. In Italy the story had several memorable follow-ups, up to the 1990s where he was turned into a sort of hi-tech sci-fi crimefighter. This story is his very first apperance, with atmospheres more close to crime fiction and thrillers than adventure – and for his own US debut IDW aptly used an iconic italian cover. https://inducks.org/character.php?c=PK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaillant Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 Violent Cases (1st US edition from Tundra) - VFNM/NM- - $10 «Violent Cases is a short graphic novel written by Neil Gaiman and illustrated by Dave McKean. It was McKean's first published work in comics. Though drawn by McKean in shades of blue, brown, and grey, when it was first published by Escape Books in 1987, it was printed in black-and-white. Later editions have been printed in colour. A narrator, who is drawn to look like Gaiman, tells of how, as a small child in Portsmouth, he was taken by his father to be treated by an osteopath who was once employed by Al Capone. The nature of the narrator's relationship with his father, the tales the osteopath told, and the disturbing events that followed, are partially obscured by the narrator's imperfect recall of things he was not old enough to understand at the time. As with many of Gaiman's other works (most notably The Sandman) Violent Cases is a story about stories, and its themes of early childhood perception and the nature of memory are visited again in 1994's Mr. Punch (also with Dave McKean).» (from Wikipedia) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
