Bryan Talbot

    24 febbraio 1952

    Bryan Talbot è una figura pioniera nel fumetto britannico, emerso dalla scena underground della fine degli anni '60. Il suo lavoro approfondisce costantemente temi complessi, tra cui il recupero dai traumi e l'esplorazione esistenziale, contraddistinto da una profonda profondità visiva e una narrazione intricata. Che crei thriller con detective antropomorfi o esamini le intersezioni tra letteratura e storia locale, le creazioni di Talbot offrono una miscela unica di stimolo intellettuale e affascinante arte grafica. Il suo approccio innovativo alla narrazione visiva, che spesso impiega sequenze senza testo, trasmette potentemente emozioni profonde e idee complesse solo attraverso le immagini.

      Ispirato dai racconti di Beatrix Potter (autrice delle storie per l'infanzia, creatrice di "Peter coniglio"), nel fumetto si parla di un tema delicato come gli abusi sui minori. Talbot racconta la storia di Helen Potter, un'adolescente in fuga da casa, vittima di abusi da parte del padre. Helen dialoga con un topo (immaginario) molto piccolo, che inizia a crescere dopo la sua fuga da casa, cresce fino a diventare un topo gigante. Helen in realtà parla con la sua anima, e il topo è il simbolo della fiducia che ha in se stessa e che cresce da quando è in fuga.

      The Adventures of Luther Arkwright, first serialised in 1978, is considered by many to be the first British graphic novel. Praised by many writers and artists, including Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, Jean Giroud (Moebius) and Michael Moorcock, the ground-breaking, experimental adult SF story was a seminal work, inspiring and influencing many comic creators. Its sequel, Heart Of Empire, was published in 2001. Both books have been continually in print since they were first published. Set fifty years later, The Legend of Luther Arkwright is another stand-alone story. While still maintaining total continuity with the Arkwright mythos, it is a different kind of adult adventure. Pursued across multiple historically divergent parallel worlds, both utopian and dystopian, and facing a far superior adversary, Arkwright battles to save humanity from mass destruction; his only edge is his experience and force of will. The Legend of Luther Arkwright, beautifully drawn by master storyteller and Eisner Award-winning comics creator Bryan Talbot, is a milestone in British comics history.
