Inhalt:

During the early 1960s, Italy was gripped by a new craze: adult comic books, known as fumetti neri, which pushed out the boat in terms of sex and violence. Characters such as Diabolik, Kriminal and Sadik became household names, not least because of repeated concerns voiced about their dubious morality in the conservative press. And film producers, never slow to spot a trend, quickly leapt on the bandwagon. Fantastikal, Diabolikal Supermen is the first ever English language book to cover the curious genre that resulted. As well as including detailed reviews of over 30 films, from better known titles like Diabolik to obscurities such as The Devil s Man and Three Supermen of the West, it also examines them in the light of the wider Italian film industry at the time, detailing how the cine-fumetti related to other trends such as Eurospy films and Spaghetti Westerns. Featuring relevant excerpts from interviews with the actors and directors concerned and lavishly illustrated with numerous lobby cards, photos and posters, this is an invaluable reference guide to an otherwise ignored and forgotten cinematic phenomenon.

interessant, kenn ich nicht, kann das was?
ah, seh grad das ist ja neu erschienen.....und jogi, hast es schon?

p.s.: grad ein review gelesen davon, naja....die reviews sind " hit & miss" werd mirs aber holen da günstig. Empfehlen kann ich aber das "Eurospy Guide", das ist gut recherchiert.

I'd been wishing for a book dealing with cine-fumetti for some time, and now it's finally here. Overall, this book is a good overview
of this exciting film sub-genre. I've seen many of the movies covered in the book, 3 Fantastic Supermen, Diabolik, Satanic, Fantabulous, Inc. are among my favorites, and it's fun not only to watch these films (if you can find them) but to now, at last, read about them too. Sadly, though, the author's reviews were hit and miss for me. Gladly, he's added some interview material in with the text. This makes up some for the poor proofreading (there are dozens of errors in the text, really amateur hour!). If it wasn't for that I'd given this book four stars rather than three. I'd like to see David Deal rejoin Blake for a book about Spaghetti Westerns, in the same format as their superior EuroSpy Guide. Still, this book's a good effort.

eben, grad beim wild eye geschoppt....

Heute bekommen und der erste Eindruck ist sensationell. 95 Seiten hören sich zwar auf den ersten Blick nicht so viel an, aber das Buch ist randvoll mit vielen Bildern und jeder Menge Text zu allerlei Filmen, von denen der kleine Jogiwan noch nie was gehört hat. Da besteht wohl noch so einiges an Nachholbedarf, wozu das Buch dann auch große große Lust verbreitet. Allein schon die Aushangfotos zu "Argoman - der fantastische Supermann"

Hab ich von einem User hier zu Weihnachten bekommen(vielen lieben dank an dieser stelle ) und das Teil ist klasse.Super Texte und schöne Bilder zu Filmen die wir doch so lieben, einfach .
