Demoni e folli trame: il genio di Jason Shiga

A genius’ and ‘a madman’ at the same time: this is how critics have described Jason Shiga, the American author of Japanese descent, winner of several Eisner and Ignatz Awards with his four-volume comic series Demon (Coconino Press) and with his later works. His stories, full of adventures and mysteries, are like clockwork mechanisms: cartoon-style drawings with echoes of Tezuka blend with complex, gripping plots to create perfect narrative devices that keep readers glued to the page. A guest at Romics for the first time, Shiga will be in conversation with Ratigher, one of the most brilliant authors in Italian comics.
