After the preview Lucchese, the volume is now ready and copies are now available to be ordered . In Lucca the book has aroused much curiosity in all environments, was received with the greatest enthusiasm by all the authors involved on the ground, and was also praised and admired by fans, publishers, editors, printers, journalists, having also a some success with the public, significant for a small company like ours.

Meanwhile, it is also just out a flattering review of Mauro Boselli the book "Dampyr" November, accompanied by the reproduction of three panels of the book: "There can only show three" - Boselli says - "to an obvious lack of space (...) But there crying my heart not to be able to show also dreams and fantasies of creepy Rotundo, Enoch, Frau, Olivares, Gabos, Palumbo and all the other artists. It should not be overlooked the dense and evocative texts accompanying each drawing or a fine introduction to one of the greatest Italian experts of the comic, Luigi Bernardi ... "

Boselli publicly thank you for your kind words, and, like him, we are confident that fans will not remain disappointed by the excellent book, which is already preparing to become a milestone in the comic strip and Lovecraftian.

Here, however, we report a critical profile with the "history of publishing" the book written by the curator himself:

" Born a bit 'to bet and initially subdued, the" Lovecraft Black & White "has taken shape and has been gradually expanding through a large, continuous and hard work of recruiting contributions, including the preparation of as it should be at the end of the final product.
Thanks to dozens of artists who do not end up never to appreciate the skill, the availability of thanking and praising the exquisite courtesy, possiamo dire di avercela fatta!
La lunga fase di lavorazione e produzione è ormai lasciata alle spalle, e il volume è finalmente stato stampato e presentato in anteprima a Lucca Comics & Game 2010.
Siamo quindi fieri di presentare finalmente quest'opera al pubblico italiano ed internazionale, un'opera che non temiamo di definire unica nel panorama delle produzioni italiane dedicate al Sognatore di Providence e senza confronti (almeno a nostra notizia) per caratteristiche di concezione e di sviluppo.
Ma veniamo a chiarire meglio le caratteristiche di ciò di cui stiamo parlando: quella a cui ci riferiamo è una galleria di illustrazioni realizzata da autori italiani di estremo valore, sia fumettisti, che illustratori, storyboarders, set designers, cartoonists and others. Great masters of design and some new generation of safer future: all united to honor the work of Howard Phillips Lovecraft.
Only a few American books or some other Italian works well (and often very monographic or at the hands of a single author), in fact, had hitherto served as "artbook" in relation to the stories of Lovecraft, and also with are very different editorial choices. Comic books, "bestiary" manual role-playing games, ornamental illustrations, drawings extemporaneous, also a most valuable overview illustration on Lovecraftian over time (the latter in America) is illustrative of a whole world was produced with underlying motivations are often completely independent of the will to play "pictures" of various scenes of the most important stories Lovecraftian remaining members as possible to the spirit of the literature.
According to the guidelines of our project, each illustrator has, instead, chose a different Lovecraftian tale and has created an image on a scene or story that summed up some sequence. Obviously the most important stories have also inspired two pictures (in a couple of cases that you will find even three). The intention was therefore to be the scene of the story as seen through the eyes of a reader except the artist in fact, mediated through its design and creative and unique course through the dexterity of his playing style ...
The result is in our view, a sumptuous gallery where works of the invoice, follow one another very different technique and inspiration - all of great quality - page after page constantly causing a kaleidoscope of sensations and emotions in the reader. The element accomunante the various images is only one: the passion for the author and the highest possible fidelity to the spirit of his writing.
The title of the collection could only be " Lovecraft Black & White", of course, because the only mandatory rule and imperative given designers was to design and design thinking to reproduction in black and white and in that sense we believe that this initial choice has also led to a further more evocative.
Long is the list of contributors, with great artists such as Roberto Bodimani (dealing with "The Shadow Over Innsmouth"), Otto Gabos (looking in your palette, "The Colour Out of Space"), Alex Horley (its amazing Dunwich Horror!), Giancarlo Olivares (which seeks to explore the mysteries of "the one who whispered in the darkness"), Giuseppe Palumbo (lost in the depths of space-time with "The shadow dropped from the time"), Massimo Semerano (which wanders through the chaotic streets of the town of "The Shadow Over Innsmouth"), Luca Enoch (who hears from his study "The music of Erich Zann") and many more, names well known in the comic strip and some outstanding rookie, like the brilliant Matthew Bocci already cover of Lovecraftian Studies. "
Each illustration is accompanied by the magnification of a detail from the reference track of the story to which it can be traced, and a comment at the hands of the same artist who shows us some twists, reveals some interesting tidbits about its implementation or talks about his relationship with the work of Lovecraft.
embellish the volume additional materials, such as introductory texts (fra i quali un'introduzione di un personaggio importantissimo del fumetto e della cultura pop italiana come Luigi Bernardi), ulteriori disegni, una bella mini-storia su Lovecraft di smoky man e Luca Paciolus, accurate biografie degli artisti coinvolti, e molto altro ancora....
Ai disegni della gallery principale si aggiungono, infine, alcune altre illustrazioni ospiti (talora già pubblicate altrove, talora inedite) ad opera di pochi illustratori stranieri che ne hanno concesso l'uso e che sono state poste ad accompagnamento delle parti testuali iniziali e finali, quali le introduzioni e le biografie, appunto perchè aggiunta "in più" - estranea tematicamente rispetto al blocco dei disegni che seguivano le regole suddette.
Tutto questo è Lovecraft Black & White , un sentito omaggio grafico ad un grande scrittore-mito, maestro indiscusso dell’horror letterario: H. P. Lovecraft.
