CHIMERA #1
by Lorenzo Mattotti
Long a superstar in his native Italy, Lorenzo Mattotti has made sporadic incursions into the U.S. via appearances in Raw magazine, the classic Fires graphic novel, and the more recent, 2003 Eisner-winning "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" adaptation from NBM (not to mention regular gigs in The New Yorker). All of these previous works have showcased his full-color painter-style, but Chimera, with its intricate, hyperexpressive swirls of crisp line work, shows that Mattotti's genius is bound by no single technique. A wordless fantasia of birth, death, gods, monsters, and humans, Chimera is the most astonishing visual narrative you'll see all year.
