I have to tell the truth when I heard that the Fourth Fest of my dear friend Doggie Dylan would come in "humor" I immediately thought it was a good idea.
If nothing else would help bring a little 'of news in a newspaper that, in my humble opinion, is sinking like the Titanic and worse. And to think that just like the Titanic, the past of Dylan Dog was so beautiful ...
Ok, let's not take from the speech and face nostalgia Humor Fest, starting from the cover of Silver, the author best known for Lupo Alberto. And it is the character of Lupo Alberto (without the infamous blue wolf) to act as a boundary in a remake of Dylan in a comic on the cover of issue 1. I found the idea very apt and the situation depicted pretty funny.
Let 's see who's in this Fest.
NOTE: If you have not read the comic I advise you not to go beyond this point, since the rest of the post is full of
! BIG SPOILERS OF FIRE!

Text: Faraci
Drawings: Cavazzano
Faraci on his blog had already thrown their hands thoroughly ahead of this story justified (and useless to pretend that nothing is what it has done) to what he considered the guardians of "true faith" Dylan.
Find what you said here: http://titofaraci.nova100.ilsole24ore.com/2010/04/pari-a-zero.html
premise that only the idea that there are Defenders of the Faith in Key dylan makes me die laughing.
First of all because, if they exist, I've never known one.
Second thing because there is no history "typically Dylan", as in this test is passed all the stories surreal and deliberately nonsensical thriller with paranormal stories through dense social criticism in which the narrative is subject to the message. And all this from Tiziano Sclavi, creator of the head, to last until the writers.
third and final thing: admitting that there are these guardians of "true faith" Dylan, how, I wonder, those guardians can expect to find a story "normal" in a comic strip that has a cover designed by Silver and which has Cavazzano designs (which I personally loved)? If I am a purist Dylan Dog is obvious that, or do not buy this Fest, or buy it but with the knowledge that once you open the comic will find something different.
short, it seems to me that Faraci was a bit 'too Paraculo on this occasion. In practice (And then end with this discussion because I have dwelt too much to talk about anything) said "hey, you did not like my story? Eh, oh well, it's because I tried to do something different! I knew you did not would have liked! I did it on purpose. "
But no. I did not like a story because basically I feel low.
Unfortunately there is not much imagination, that is the problem.
A parallel world that can be reached through a door? Already seen, already done (Alice in Wonderland, just to name one).
A world made of dummies? Already seen, already done (and it was on Dylan Dog if I am not mistaken, in "Nightmare a Midsummer Night ").
a London bombing, torn apart? Already seen, already done (once again Dylan Dog, more than once).
removing all the elements you've seen and reviewed more than one occasion, what remains are the catchy: the blond Swede who only repeats "Dylan" and "love" and the sailor belly always says "for this tripe" or "by the beard of that." Very little funny.
Faraci wanted to write a story lightly, but he did the wrong way. And in the light of what I say then also explain why.
Speaking of drawings, I can not help but notice the excellent reinterpretation humorous cartoon characters. Very beautiful drawings of Dylan (with a ciuffone exaggerated) and Bloch, a little 'less than those with Groucho (why did the big teeth?)
Final Remarks
Faraci reuses a bit' of this and a bit 'of that, putting together a story that basically has nothing to say and that fails to entertain in any way. The designs improve reading, but ultimately we remain disappointed.

a difficult situation
Text: Bartoli
Drawings: Carnival
The first thing that impressed me in this story are almost super-deformed designs by Massimo Carnevale. A style close to caricature, with disproportionate heads and faces to the limit of human (on all the face of Groucho).
also very beautiful colors, dark colors tend to make the scenes and vaguely disturbing.
The story I was not impressed.
The idea is good, but failure to reveal all the ugly too soon. Already half of them understand how it will end. So what after all was a good idea is ruined by an inappropriate conduct. At first, the story slips away well, then it bloats a bit and proceeds' slowly.
Too bad, because you could do better.
Groucho found it a bit 'off. At the sight of his head on a hospital bed I would have preferred to see more melancholy. Bartoli Maybe not if you feel like sinking your foot on the tears (maybe if she done now I'd be here to criticize him ... who knows). Final Remarks
All in all it was a missed opportunity. With a couple of tricks could be a good story.
Once the drawings are to push forward the cart. The character of Dylan is a bit 'crushed by history, but it is not a bad thing. Unfortunately, Groucho is crushed by history and this is rather bad.
Whenever Groucho is portrayed as the usual zombie joke that brings the tea, a mustache slumps to the ground and dies.

die laughing
Text: Enna
Drawings: Celoni
A story a little 'surprise.
front of the endless parade of old jokes (some hit, some not), I almost fell los cojones. All this, however, with lifts at the end, where it is understood that the story is just one of the delusions of comedians Groucho. Everything takes its own special way.
Bello also the passage in the drawings by a humorous style to a more realistic, which marks the end of the story of Groucho and the beginning of "reality." Absolutely spectacular
the ending, which is condensed into a single scene of great visual impact. I did get the nostalgia for the dear good old days when Dylan Dog could afford some good splatter scenes.
The comedy in the first part is not anything special, as I said, but it can boast of incredible designs that best represent the surreal and comical side of the story. On all the words on the black nose of Cagliostro. For a time it is the black Gattaccia to face each other instead of turning them to his liking. The idea of \u200b\u200bthis little role reversal, with Groucho becomes the great conductor of the absurd, I was impressed.
I think this story is all "dummies" could not be. It 's funny, full of dark humor (which I what I expect Dylan Dog ... not the dummies inside a ship) and surreal. And 'course, a slight story, pure wacky fun. And 'the faithful reproduction of a story told by Groucho. I liked it a lot. Final Remarks
That 's what I expected from this Fest Humor.
The drawings are the best in comics and support the great old jokes (But entirely justified, given what we discover in the end), sometimes they smile and sometimes not. Loved the return of the splatter, seen in a comic and disturbing in the first part in the second (the explosion of the head of Dylan's Oscar-winning cartoon).
Bello. Sure, he has reason to exist only on its short-term, imagine a balloon longer made up only of bad jokes is madness itself.

The letter white
Text: Gualdoni
Drawings: Mastantuono
Similar to "A difficult situation, "said the nasty habit of being too predictable and as" dummies "in a couple of fishing situations a bit 'too typical, already seen in other sauces. For example reminded me of the wonderful" Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind " (yes, I refuse to write the Italian title of that film), with which it shares the basic idea of \u200b\u200bthe disintegration of memories. There was such a flood to destroy the house where the two lovers were known and there are mostricciatoli blacks to chew the furniture of the old professor.
The representation of blacks dementia as small monsters that eat people and their memories is judicious, but all too clear. It 's too easy. It was enough to make a sum of factors and you might well imagine what was going on really.
The idea, although not very original, it is interesting, but the performance is not the prize at all. The only flick you in the end, with a scene of sure impact that, once again, originality is not its strong point but all in all it works.
The drawings are kept on a sufficiently abundant. Subjectively, I was not impressed. I seem to be too influenced by the Disney style, especially in the expression of faces. I would have preferred a bit 'more of harshness in some scenes. Final Remarks
All in all it is higher than the "dummies", but at same time, the drawings I found them less well-chosen context.
The problem here is to want to challenge themselves with a history of "serious", but with designs that fail to make the most of the drama of memory loss in old age.
I can not find a poorly written story, but surely it is placed wrong. I would see better in a Maxi with a different design.

Basically 's lawyer would say Johnny Toothpick, this Fest is drawing its strength. The stories do not have anything particularly nice. Even that I think is the best cartoon that is "Dying laughing, "is more worthy of praise for the idea for the screenplay.
It seemed a good experiment and I'd still see something like Dylan Dog. Perhaps with a more accurate selection of stories.
At the same time But it was a bit 'lost opportunity. For once, the authors were allowed to do what they wanted, as they like to swim in the sea at the end of the absurd and the only one who did it was really Enna . His story is one that best fits all of the cartoon, with Fabio Celoni in shape.
I mean, come on, I will not complain too much, but certainly could be more daring.
