Galep disegna Adam?
Galep disegna Adam?
Sarebbe stato interessante, ma…
Stralcio di testo dalla presentazione del volume Adam.
Non si chiamava Adam, e non siamo nemmeno sicuri che fosse di origine statunitense. Uomini come lui ce ne sono molti in giro per il mondo, uomini che hanno reciso nettamente le loro radici. Noi ne abbiamo conosciuto uno, uno dei tanti. Ci siamo ispirati a lui o la sua vita calzava come un guanto alla nostra storia? Facciamo un salto indietro, un bel salto…
…Del personaggio ho già alcuni bozzetti fatti da disegnatori famosi (Galep, Magnus, ecc) che, beata incoscienza, avevo coinvolto ma che non avrebbero mai disegnato il fumetto…
He may not even have been called Adam, there are lots of men like him around the world, men who have clearly cut their roots, whatever the soil they fed on. No one chooses the place to be born in. When he revealed himself, just one among many, we “recognized” him and molded him. Did we draw inspiration from his life even before we knew him? Or did his life perfectly fit, like a glove with that cartoon strip we still had not written nor drawn?
One day we decided to go and rinse the palettes in the Tropical seas and go on a long holiday around the isle of Cuba. We were really itching to see the places we had drawn and imagined and illustrated. Suddenly, one night, there he was!
Impossible but it’s him!
Seated at the same piano he played every night, Adam was there.

Non è citato l’autore dei testi, potrebbe essere Paul Winkler titolare dell’agenzia Opera Mundi e autore di moltissime sceneggiature originali e riduzioni per i fumetti venduti dall‘Opera Mundi. Il disegnatore è invece certamente Jacques Blondeau, uno dei più prolifici disegnatori della suddetta agenzia. Ecco l’elenco:

Art by Frank Thorne, 16 June 1930
Frank Thorne started his comic book career in 1948, when Standard Comics gave him several romance stories to pencil. After graduation, he drew the ‘Perry Mason’ newspaper strip for King Features, which was followed by more comic book work for Dell. He turned out a multitude of stories for ‘Flash Gordon’, ‘Jungle Jim’, The Green Hornet’, and many more. Thorne’s breakthrough came in 1975, when he was asked to draw ‘Red Sonja’ for Marvel. He left ‘Sonja’ in 1978 to create his own woman warrior ‘Ghita of Alizzar’. Since then there has been no stopping to Thorne’s vein of erotic fantasy, creating ‘Lann’ for Heavy Metal and ‘Moonshine McJuggs’ for Playboy during the 1980s and ‘The Iron Devil’ and ‘The Devil’s Angel’ during the 1990s.

Ribon no Kishi (Princess Knight), is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Osamu Tezuka. This manga follows the adventures of Sapphire, a girl who was born accidentally with a blue heart of a boy and a pink heart of a girl. She pretends to be a male prince to prevent the evil Duke Duralumin from inheriting the throne of Silverland. The gender-bending main character was inspired by the all-female musical theater group Takarazuka Revue in which women performed both female and male roles.
