bump in hope some get interested

I can to some degree understand why Italians cream their pants for Pazienza (Zanardi and his edgy rebelious youth message, martyrdom, yadda yadda), but Tamburini's Ranxerox is an enigma for me. I just see a (well drawn) future flick with underaged tits and blood.

well, can't say for italians, french myself, discovered along with, well, métal hurlant. What got me was the future flick with tits and blood.

the well done one, I mean. this is not some today soleil garbage

Michelangelo? Don't you mean the other director whose name sounds like that? Shit...what's his name....
Anyway cool thread. Is the film still supposed to be happening?
>>90249666
Love the early Mothers stuff but I've recently been learning some very fucked up stuff about Zappa and the Laurel canyon scene in general...you know he spent the first seven years of his life in the Edgewood Base, which at the time was the U.S's primary chemical/biological weapons research facility? His Dad worked their. Zappa is another "counterculture icon" who had one or both parents who were very high up in the U.S Military/Navy/C.I.A or F.B.I...seriously look it up, the amount of successful musicians had parents way up in military hierarchy is literally uncanny. Jim Morrison's dad was the captain of the battleship that initiated the Gulf of Tonkin incident which basically kickstarted the Vietnam war! Dunno if you're into "conspiracy theories"....if you are, though--look into it, OP.

I don't think a ranx movie is ever going to be made... at least we got perlman in the city of lost children ?

>>90251535
I thought Chris Cunningham was attached to direct at one point?

remember when Dark Horse wanted to publish a nice Ranxerox HC last year, but then they didnt?

>>90251667
yeah, but since when ?...
besides, I don't want a Ranx movie. the art was worth a lot in my liking of the book

As a matter of fact, to think of it, what attracts me in Ranx is the raw power of it. The indecency of it doesn't seem lost even now. You draw some porn and gore as a teen to get some anger and lust out of you, and then there's this thing, that's it. And the point of it, is that you can go back and read it again and again because it's not just free pointless violence, every situation fits a particular way of getting to it, from humiliation, survival, frustration, etc. to the use of it because it is to be used —it's short and dense, of course visually satisfying, and the characters make sense for the little they are used. It is well composed, no trash in it. It's filled with freaks. It is rock, no meme. Same appeal. And it has become a classic because it's worth it. It works. And the fact that it was never finished does a lot. You'll have noticed that works that gets interrupted/does not get finished/does not tend to an end goes a long way

Conspiracy theories are the best human mind can produce. It's the purest extension of the capacity to anticipate that made us greatest animals on earth. combined with autism.
I bet we can make the cancer sounds like a delayed execution for trying to get into politics seriously with the Czechoslovakia ambassador stuff. CIA made rock to be transgressive, not subversive !...
More seriously, not my words, but conspiracy theories are the real life exegesis. It's the stuff of the mind. I'll look up this one :)

>>90252102
this recently ? searched for memory proof and all there is is even older news... now I'm a bit excited. tell me more. I get to the vid later or tomorrow

Basically all this is from David McGowan's Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon: Laurel Canyon, Covert Ops and the Dark Heart of the Hippie Dream. His basic contention is that the alphabet agencies conspired to deliberately create the "hippy" phenomenon to weaken Vietnam War opposition. Abbie Hoffman himself is quoted as saying: "Suddenly, they were everywhere (in the movement). Where did all these hippies come from?!" As you know the original anti-war movement was all far-left, direct action groups, the SDP, The Weathrmen, The Black Panthers, White Panthers etc...everyone knows (H.S Thompson called him: "The biggest narc in the USA!") about Leary and his involvement with MK Ultra via the Ivy League universities...and then he takes on this guru role telling his followers to "turn on, tune in and drop out"?! Also there's (or was, will hafta double check) a military base bang in the middle of Laurel Canyon...why did all these future stars gravitate there? LA was NOT the centre of the US music scene at that time! Another weird thing, Hendrix never spoke about his dad but he himself was allegedly a member of the 101st Airbourne, one of the most elite military units but was thrown out after a year for being "an incompetent soldier". Which begs the question...if he was THAT incompetent, how the FUCK did he get into the 101st in the first place?!? I get what you're saying but the rabbit hole goes deep...also entertainers have ALWAYS been used by spy agencies because it's the perfect career (and perfect COVER) for that sort of work--international travel, hiding in plain sight etc....lel mebbe I better save this for /x/! I've been commissioned to provide some sample comics pages because the publisher is expanding into graphic novels and wants to do the aforementioned book as a GN.
>>90254954
Sorry man was I'm sure it was comicbookgirl19....hmmm...I'm definitely not remembering it wrong--I'm positive it was Cunningham tied to it...lemme do some digging myself , M.H.....

>>90254954
Dat drawing's fucking gorgeous, btw. To me it looks better than his painted stuff. Did Liberatore do a lot of b & w (inked) work? I admire his stuff more than LOVE it, you know? Impeccable technique and fucking mad story but I kind of like it intellectually more than aesthetically. I'm weird, I know.
Wonder who published first, Corben or Liberatore? 'Cause I can see a lot of the latter in the former's work.....

Not too much versed on corben, but I'd say he was first.
The first ranx were b&w, but tamburini was inking. he did il male and some other stuff for l'écho des savanes and frigidaire, don't how much in english.
When he just inks it tends to be more light, and less ultrarealist. Definitely Corben tho.

Thanks a lot for the pencil sketches, bloody lovely, but that inker needs to put his felt-tipped pen down IMMEDIATELY! Jeez, talking about doing a disservice to an artists pencils....urgh! Horrid. But thanks for a cool thread OP!
