MARCO FRANCESCATO'S COMICS
Different styles for different genres — from stories for young readers, to biographies, to political and social satire, all the way to noir. Different styles united by the same touch.
EDO
Fun, colorful stories divided into themed episodes, following a group of teenagers. Published in Piccolo Missionario, a monthly magazine for young readers, the series draws its story ideas from real life.
FOUR LIL FLOWERS
A noir graphic novel currently in development, based on a story by Nicolò Francescato. It offers a realistic black-and-white treatment typical of the noir genre, echoing 1970s Italian comics — artists like Toppi and Battaglia — with a cinematic feel far removed from manga aesthetics.
L'ANELLO DEBOLE
Divertente storia paradossale ideata e realizzata in tempo di COVID.
L'UNTO
A satirical, paradoxical graphic novel tackling the problems of Italy. An "ordinary" man finds himself entrusted with a radical solution to resolve the country's contradictions — a solution revealed to him by none other than the Archangel Gabriel.
BABAZAR
Produced with the support of the City of Turin, Babazar is a fun, paradoxical tale about a futuristic ROBOT given as a gift to a Western child. In light of today's advances in robotics — with the millions of androids that will sooner or later surround us — the story feels more relevant than ever.
AFRICA EXPRESS
Biografia su San Daniele Comboni . Commissionato dai missionari Comboniani, il fumetto ben lontano dalle classiche biografie, racconta il personaggio e ce lo fa conoscere percorrendo un percorso alle sue tracce facendocelo incontrare solo alla fine! La vera conoscenza sta nel viaggio e la sua dinamicità in un periodo storico a cavallo tra colonialismo nascente e avventura di sapore salgariano.
