Roberto Saviano (Préfacier). Dargaud 2009, cm.17x24, pp.206, ill. Broché. Attention. Ceci n'est pas une bande dessinée. Ceci n'est pas une autobiographie ni une enquête exclusive sur la crise financière. Ceci n'est pas un reportage sur les secrets bancaires ni le road movie d'un enquêteur en mal de sensations fortes. C'est un peu tout ça. C'est l'histoire d'un journaliste qui essaie d'informer ses lecteurs dans le monde d'aujourd'hui...

Fanny Soubiran (Traducteur), Daniel Schneidermann (Préfacier). Ca et Là 2014, cm.17,5x24, pp.184, ill. broché.

Comicout 2018, cm.17x24 pp.112, ill.bn. brossura cop.fig.a col. Coll.Graphic Novel. Amnesty International. La Primavera araba e le manifestazioni in Egitto, sono state momenti importanti e molto celebrati. Quello che ne sappiamo, o che ci resta, è però un'immagine poco approfondita, uno sguardo esterno in cui la tragedia di Giulio Regeni resta un baratro oscuro. Il graphic journalism ha il compito di rendere evidente il mondo in cui viviamo e soprattutto situazioni di cui poco parla il giornalismo ufficiale. Questo libro di Ferenc e Blast, voluto e sostenuto da Amnesty International, racconta in modo chiaro e documentato, il metodo di estrema violenza usato per fermare le donne che scendevano a protestare in piazza, in Egitto, durante la primavera araba. Le armi sessiste dell’umiliazione e della violenza sessuale, messe in atto in mezzo alla folla (e successivamente anche negli uffici della polizia), oltre alla violenza già nota, di bastonate e torture. Un libro fondamentale per capire come il corpo della donna sia due volte vittima, nella folla la ragazza o la donna viene circondata, isolata e assalita. La violenza in Egitto è stata strumento anche per zittire e allontanare giornaliste straniere. La risposta è opporsi e denunciare sempre. Un tema non lontano dalle donne che in Italia leggeranno questo graphic novel, per capire che opporsi contro la violenza e la violenza sessuale è una lotta comune, da condividere .

A cura di: S. Leblanc, M. Menicacci Firenze, Edizioni Clichy 2018, cm.23x16, formato albo. pp.95, ill.bn. brossura copertina figurata a colori. Coll.Beaubourg. Apparse per la prima volta nel 1893 sulla rivista per bambini «Le Petit Français Illustré» e ancora celeberrime in Francia, le avventure della Famille Fenouillard possono essere considerate il primo antenato dell'attuale fumetto, avendo preceduto di due anni Yellow Kid e di venti anni Krazy Kat. L'album racconta i viaggi e le rocambolesche peripezie di una famiglia piccolo borghese di provincia, padre madre e due figlie: tutti intraprendenti ma pasticcioni, ingenuamente persuasi della superiorità della civiltà europea, eppure sempre curiosi di scoprire usi e costumi di altri Paesi. Ricche di originali trovate iconografiche, le strisce sono accompagnate da una prosa divertente e ingegnosamente parodistica. Grazie alla sua vasta diffusione e all'altissima qualità di testi e disegni, La Famille Fenouillard ha rappresentato un modello imprescindibile per molti fumetti successivi, a partire dal Tintin di Hergé.
