The "black Janissary" to discover the Shroud, the new adventure of the Sardinian screenwriter Piredda
The Sassari author tries his hand once again on a story of Dago, the cartoon character created in 1980 by the South American Robin Wood
A trip to Sardinia to tell the secrets of Barbarossa, and then to Piedmont, to describe the arrival of the Holy Shroud in Turin.
Gianluca Piredda, the writer and screenwriter from Sassari, who in the last twenty years has also made himself known in the United States with cult characters such as Warrior Nun (from which the homonymous Netflix series is based) and Airboy, to name a few, yes try once again on a story of Dago, the cartoon character created in 1980 by South American Robin Wood.
On Lanciostory, which came out on newsstands a few days ago, the new adventure of the "black Janissary" designed by Leo Sgarbi has begun, in which Piredda tells of the arrival of the Holy Shroud in Italy, starting from the Chambéry fire.
Dago will meet a friar friend in charge of supervising the transport of the Holy Sheet to the new headquarters of the House of Savoy, Turin.
"The arrival of the Shroud will be an adventurous, fictional arrival - explains Piredda - where Dago will meet the iconoclastic group of the Beeldenstorm and will move between the Piedmontese woods, the city of Turin and the Devil's Bridge, of which the legend will be told".
Piredda is also among the authors present in the exhibition "I comics made in Italy", hosted in the Spazio Wow, the Museum of comics in Milan, and which will remain open until March with tables, among others, by authors such as Hugo Pratt, Guido Crepax, Jacovitti, Milo Manara, Magnus, Sergio Toppi, Giorgio Cavazzano, Romano Scarpa, Silver, Sto, Sandro Dossi, Luciano Bottaro, Filippo Scozzari, Zerocalcare.
The Sassari screenwriter is at the Museum of Comics in Milan with Freeman, a character he created and published by Skorpio, who tells the story of mid-nineteenth century America, slavery, culture and music that was developing in the Southern states and currently on newsstands with a new episode. The drawings are by Vincenzo Arces.
