I liked these five stories, but didn't love them, perhaps unfairly for not including a perspective I was hoping for. The main point of it is Toppi's art, which is why this is 4 stars for me, or something under that as I read a couple of his books to get into his style more. He's unique, both detaile Leggi tutto

Stripovi italijanskog maestra Serđa Topija (1932-2012) u Jugoslaviji i Srbiji su objavljivani samo sporadično, pa je Darkwood rešio da ispravi ovu nepravdu. I to na kakav način!
