Description
This episodic graphic novel follows the journey of Mort Cinder, a man who rises from the grave each time he is killed. His travels through time, space, and the darkest corners of humanity are shown from the point of view of Ezra Winston, an antiquarian who becomes Mort's companion. Alberto Breccia's experimental chiaroscuro captures the expressive faces of hardened prisoners, shell-shocked soldiers, and grotesque grave robbers; his atmospheric stories take the reader to eerie cemeteries, show more ancient Babylonian tombs, and the treacherous waters of the Atlantic. Presented in English for the first time, these horror-adventure tales are as chilling and accessible as they were half a century ago. show lessTags

Curiose decorazioni come
non ne avevo mai viste in
alcun museo d'arte antica
o moderna. Non sembravano
di questo mondo... e forse
non lo erano...
(pagina 93)
Il tempo rincorre gli oggetti e gli uomini, ne trae sostentamento, ed oggetti e uomini rinascono.

Loved it.
