SPECIALE “LE DONNE NEL FUMETTO”
– VENTIQUATTRESIMA PUNTATA PARTE PRIMA –

Bozza del Sommario del n. 21 della rivista Fumettomania

Oggi, in occasione della Giornata Internazionale della Donna, siamo a metà dello Speciale ed anche se con qualche ritardo continuo a proporre dei grandi artisti nazionali ed internazionali che ci raccontano la creazione di alcune loro pagine a fumetti, dallo script alla pagina finale da stampare “.
Gli artisti di oggi sono (per la seconda volta): Mary&Bryan Talbot, insieme a
Kate Charlesworth, con un fumetto straordinario che mi piacerebbe  molto leggere in edizione italiana: Sally Heatcote Suffragette.

Il loro workshop sarà seguito domani da una recensione, altrettanto bella, di Cesare Giombetti, collaboratore prezioso e socio sostenitore dell’ass. culturale Fumettomania.

Ricordo a chi legge questo articolo che questo Speciale dedicato a “LE DONNE NEL FUMETTO“, è  cominciato esattamente un anno fa sulle ceneri di quello che avrebbe dovuto essere il n.ro 21/22 del web magazine Fumettomania.

Buona lettura
Mario Benenati​, direttore culturale del web magazine Fumettomania


Copertine del grpahic novel Sally Heatcote Suffragette.
