GLI ETERNI

EDITORIALE CORNO, 1979

Se qui da noi la definizione GLI ETERNI evoca irrimediabilmente entità immortali, inalienabili ed incombenti quali Giorgio Napolitano, Silvio Berlusconi, Maurizio Costanzo, Pierferdinando Casini, Corrado Augias e Pippo Baudo, in america invece è una serie supereroistica a fumetti classica ed intramontabile ( ETERNALS in lingua originale ) che deve il suo successo e la sua popolarità non a scandali, processi , rumours di collusioni con mafia e malavita, presunti crimini dal colletto bianco e bustarelle ma solamente e immensamente ai magnifici disegni dell’ indimenticabile re JACK KIRBY

Questa è la favolosa serie gigante Corno che ha fatto conoscere in Italia la superba saga SF-fantasy , e ne è rimasta l’ unica pubblicazione nostrana per decenni, fino al masterwork integrale uscito pochi anni fa e puff !  oggi già disperatamente ed inesorabilmente esaurito

Tra l’ altro la collana ospita anche altro materiale eccellente, ristampato poco o addirittura mai, un po’ per dimenticanza, un po’ per pigrizia, un po’ per ignoranza , un po’ per accidia, un po’ per impedimenti oggettivi : MACHINE-MAN , NOVA , 2001 A SPACE ODYSSEY , OMEGA , GUARDIANS OF GALAXY , LUNAR alias MOON KNIGHT alias IL CAVALIERE DELLA LUNA, CYBERNUS / DEATHLOK the demolisher ,  3-D MAN, e c’è persino un episodio di X-Men di Claremont & Byrne sull’ ultimo numero, il 29.

in questo numero : ETERNI (sempre alle prese con un Hulk tanto reale, autentico e plausibile quanto la Befana ed il marito di Pamela Prati) – OMEGA – NOVA – SEEKER 3000 (episodio pilota one-shot con protagonista l’ omonima arca spaziale di avventurieri extra-temporali che verrà poi ripresa nel 1998 con una miniserie in 4 capitoli ovviamente mai pubblicata in Italia neanche per sbaglio)

condizioni  : quasi ottime, l’ albo NON è di busta, è INCLUSO  il poster centrale a doppia pagina di FONZIE (Henry Winkler , dalla serie TV HAPPY DAYS) ancora spillato all’albo

a disposizione moltissimi numeri delle altre serie Corno , Star e Marvel, sono gradite le mancoliste.

Notes

• Goodwin is consulting editor.
• Cover art: modifications on the Hulk figure by Romita.
• This issue seems to imply that Marvel characters like the Hulk, Thor, Doctor Doom, and the Inhumans are fictional characters, despite agents of SHIELD appearing earlier in the series.
• Thor #285 (in italy in SSPP #19) confirms that the city in which the Eternals fight the Cosmic Hulk and (in the next issue) Dromedan is in fact New York City.

John Nedley died shortly after his release from the hospital.
James-Michael, Dian, Ruth, and Amber attend his funeral. Omega attends
as well, dressed in the suit he bought with the reward money he claimed
for returning the goods Blockbuster stole. Omega decides that more money
is required not just for himself, but to give James-Michael an escape
from the savagery of Hell’s Kitchen. James-Michael independently plans
to escape himself, and Dian offers to join him in running away. They
gather what money they can to take a bus back to James-Michael’s old
home in the mountains, which has been untouched since he and his parents
left months ago. While James-Michael is showing Dian around the house,
they come across a hidden closet containing the motionless forms of what
appear to be James-Michael’s parents.
