Ahi serva Italia, di dolore ostello
«Ahi serva Italia, di dolore ostello,
nave sanza nocchiere in gran tempesta,
non donna di provincie, ma bordello!»
Ah, abject Italy, you inn of sorrows,
you ship without a helmsman in harsh seas,
no queen of provinces but of bordellos!
(Dante, Purgatorio, canto VI, vv. 76-78)
Avevamo fatto una scommessa (con noi stessi) qui su come sarebbe sviluppata e concluso l’ennesimo esperimento. Scommessa facile-facile e vinta ancor più facilmente.
Esattamente 40 giorni dalla data di spedizione arriva (tramite DHL) risposta da Los Angeles mentre dall’Italia nessun segno di vita. Eppure una mail costa poco e prende poco tempo.
Ma è ovvio che per gli italiani vale sempre l’affermazione del Marchese del Grillo (sebbene la battuta sia del Belli) xxxx
Qui non si discute la qualità delle proposte ma la buona educazione nelle submissions.
Non è un caso che i più grossi successi editoriali, letterari, musicali, cinematografici, ecc. vengano dal mondo più evoluto.
continuiamo così facciamoci del male

Purita Campos (Purificación Campos Sánchez)
(18 August 1937 – 19 November 2019, Spain)
Purita Campos (or Pura Campos) was a Spanish painter and illustrator, and one of the leading artists in European girls’ comics. After modest beginnings in her native Spain, she set the tone for a new wave of more reality-based stories in this genre on the British market. Her best-known series was ‘Patty’s World’ (1971-1988), a co-creation with writer Philip Douglas, about the everyday life of 13-year old Patty Lucas. It quickly became a hit in Spain (as ‘Esther y su Mundo’), the Netherlands (‘Peggy’s Wereldje’) and Germany (‘Biggi’) too. Patty landed Campos an equally fruitful collaboration with the Dutch girls’ magazine Tina, for which she illustrated the title comic ‘Tina & Debbie’ (1974-2010) for several decades. She regularly collaborated with her husband Francisco Ortega on other comics for girls, such as ‘Gina’ (1978-1980) and ‘Dulce Caroline’ (1989).

Women cartoonist: Fran Hopper
Women cartoonist: Fran Hopper (Frances R. Deitrick )
July 13, 1922 – November 29, 2017
Maryland, USA
Fran Hopper was one of the few female artists active during the Golden Age of American comic books, the 1940s. She has mainly worked through Robert Iger’s studio on Fiction House features starring heroines like ‘Gale Allen and the Girl Squadron’, ‘Mysta of the Moon’, ‘Jane Martin’ and ‘Camilla’.
She spent most of her childhood in New Jersey, however. Deitrick was one of several female comic book artists entering the field during the early 1940s. By 1942, the US had joined World War II, and many male authors were drafted. Packager Bob Iger and his editor Ruth Roche thus hired Deitrick and other females such as Ruth Atkinson, Lily Renée and Marcia Snyder to fill their places. Iger’s studio produced complete comic books for publishers like Fiction House. Deitrick’s first known contribution appeared in Planet Comics #23 of March 1943. She started signing her work Fran Hopper after marrying Dr. John B. Hopper II in 1944.
