The Jodorowsky Library: Book Two: Son of the Gun - Pietrolino

O segundo volume da biblioteca Jodorowsky prossegue com duas histórias incrivelmente distintas e incrivelmente boas. Son of the Gun que saiu agora aqui no Brasil pela Conrad como Juan Solo é simplesmente espetacular. Espetacular de verdade. Tudo funciona bem. Roteiro e arte caminham juntas. É uma história violenta, incrível e que somente Jodorowsky poderia fazer. Pietrolino é muito boa também e o completo oposto de Juan Solo. É uma história simples, bonita e tocante. Tem todos os elementos para virar uma animação de qualidade. Comprem!

uauuuuu

i love a lot of jodorowsky's work, and this volume is no exception. however... clowns embroiled in the moral sinkhole that was ww2 era europe is a dubious and fraught cultural genre, and here we have jodo's entry. mileage varies wildly on this stuff (jerry lewis vs. roberto benigni anyone? no takers?) my own personal mileage is very low, and so pietrolino, the second tale collected here, is in my view, laughable. but buy this for son of the gun, a horrifically violent,gleefully transgressive, magnificently drawn piece of low art melodrama pastiche. grotesque, troubling, exploitative, drenched in not-subtle religious imagery, this is not for the faint of heart. hamlet meets scarface, as directed by paul schrader, and maybe almost as good as the incal.

For anyone that is curious, this is the hardcover version NOT paperback. Not sure why it says that but I received the hardcover version. Great book, excellent condition!
