Notă: 5.00 · o notă - 1 recenzie

A Western tale turned on its ear and filled with strange characters and surreal situations.

From what could only have originated from the mind of "El Topo" director, and "The Metabarons" author, Alexandro Jodorowsky, "Bouncer" follows the adventures of a one armed gunslinger and sometimes saloon bouncer in one of the Wild West’s many dangerous and vice-infested towns. Drawn by acclaimed artist François Boucq in a gritty and realistic style.

O carte ilustrata suberb, povestile sunt dure si contin multa violenta, tipica pentru vremea aceea presupun, dar intortocheata si mai mult de capabilul Jodorowsky. Cartea in sine este foarte bine legata, paginile sunt cusute si stau deschise de la inceput, hartia este lucioasa si printul de buna calitate.

Notă biografică

Born February 7th, 1929, in Tocopilla, Chile, of a Jewish Ukrainian immigrant family. Jodorowsky was multi-talented from an early age, becoming skilled in puppetry and mime, in addition to writing, by his late teens. He traveled with a pantomime troupe in the 1950s, and within a couple years had made his way to Paris where he collaborated with the world-renowned mime Marcel Marceau. In the 1960s, Jodorowsky ventured further into the world of theater, creating in Mexico, the Panic Movement. This innovative artistic movement allowed him to creatively participate in over a 100 theater productions. The 1970s saw him transition into the world of film where he quickly put a defining stamp on all his cinematic works. He directed several cult films, namely the infamous "El Topo," a Midnight movie favorite. Shortly thereafter, Jodorowsky became attached to direct the adaptation of the famous Frank Herbert sci-fi epic novel "Dune." At the preparation stage of the film, he brilliantly assembled a team of extremely diverse and gifted artists such as HR Giger, Chris Foss, Dan O'Bannon, and Moebius, all of who would later be hired as concept artists on Ridley Scott's "Alien." The development of "Dune" came to a halt due to financial problems, but Jodorowsky, having been exposed to such immense visual talent, propelled himself into writing graphic novels, pairing up with the artist Moebius. This collaboration resulted in what many consider to be one of the most creative European sci-fi graphic novel series of all time, "The Incal," which went on to sell millions of copies worldwide. Since penning "The Incal," Jodorowsky continued writing top selling comic books with a wide variety of Europe's most talented artists, such as "The White Lama" (with Bess), "The Metabarons" (with Gimenez), "The Technopriests" (with Janjetov), and most recently "Bouncer" (with Boucq). Along with nurturing his many other talents, Jodorowsky remains a unique storyteller whose published contributions have secured his status as one of the world's most prolific graphic novel writers.

"After absorbing Francois Boucq’s illustrated panels and Alejandro Jodorowsky’s writing about four pages into Bouncer: The One-Armed Gunslinger, I found myself sitting up straighter in my seat due to my growing elation at the fact I had found what I’ve been looking for in comics when it comes to Westerns." - SciFiMonkeys.com
