I remember the mid 70′s -early 80′s they were a lot of fumettie available. Ususally they were movie adaptions. I got a fumetti of the 1977 version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers last year for christmas. I also have the Battlestar Galactica, Grease, and Star Trek 2: Wrath of Khan. It would be neat to see that format make a comeback.

Duuude. You can’t do fumetti without mentioning “DM of the Rings”.

Great choice, Bill. I’ve always been fond of fumetti….love the Battlestar Galactica “fotonovel” that I’ve kept since waaaaaaay back in the day. Terry Gilliam did a great fumetti with John Cleese for Help! when he was Kurtzmann’s assistant. Apparently that’s where Gilliam and Cleese first met, so in a way, without fumetti, there would be no Monty Python. It’s reprinted in Kim Howard Johnson’s book The First 200 Years Of Monty Python.

The problem i have with photocomic is that they look staged. Vertigo’s I’Paparazzi comes to mind.

[...] Yesterday’s entry fell into a hole in the space/time continuum and popped out today. You should definitely read it, however, as another fine reader of this column drops by with a homemade comic. Check it out and then join me for this one. [...]

I tend to find photo comics awkward, stilted, and poorly produced. “A Softer World” has the ability to work, since the photos are really narrated, more than scripted. But seeing word balloons plastered on top of photographs make my eyeballs own little eyes cry tears of distaste.
