GLI ETERNI
collana Fantasy , EDITORIALE CORNO, 1980
Se qui da noi la definizione GLI ETERNI evoca irrimediabilmente entità immortali, inalienabili e incombenti quali Giorgio Napolitano, Silvio Berlusconi, Maurizio Costanzo, Pierferdinando Casini, Corrado Augias e Pippo Baudo, in america invece richiama una serie supereroistica a fumetti classica ed intramontabile ( ETERNALS in lingua originale ) che deve il suo successo non a scandali, processi, collusioni con mafia e malavita, 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 un paio d’anni fa e puff ! oggi già disperatamente e inesorabilmente esaurito
Tra l’ altro la collana ospita anche altro materiale eccellente che nessuno si è mai sognato di ristampare, un pò per dimenticanza, un pò per pigrizia, un pò per ignoranza , un pò per accidia: MACHINE-MAN , NOVA , 2001 A SPACE ODYSSEY , OMEGA , GUARDIANS OF GALAXY , LUNAR alias MOON KNIGHT alias IL CAVALIERE DELLA LUNA, CYBERNUS / DEATHLOK , 3-D MAN, addirittura c’è pure un episodio di X-Men di Claremont & Byrne sull’ ultimo numero, il 29.
in questo numero :
come sostituto generico degli esauriti ETERNI di Kirby continua MISTER MACCHINA (Machine Man the living robot), spin off di 2001 odissea nello spazio , anche lui ad incombente rischio di rottamazione essendo un catorcio vecchio di svariati decenni con una classificazione ambientale addirittura negativa (euro meno 2)
proseguono anche le altre serie :
– DEATHLOK (ribattezzato e additato al debutto italiano come CYBERNUS, una storpiatura davvero infame, crudele e soprattutto immotivata per un povero robot bionico senza alcuna colpa salvo quella di essere un bastardo figlio di puttana infarcito di cavi e lamiere)
– NOVA che per tirare a campare adesso deve addirittura fare affidamento sui vecchi nemici di Dracula come il cervellotico Dottor Sun
– e la appassionante saga fantastellare de I GUARDIANI DELLA GALASSIA tratta da Marvel Presents che si sposta sull’ inospitale pianeta Arturo dove c’è pure un ristorante ottimo ma malfamato e quindi non menzionato nella guida per gli autostoppisti
condizioni : ottime, l’ albo non è di busta, completo del poster allegato al centro
a disposizione moltissimi numeri delle altre serie Corno , Star e Marvel, sono gradite le mancoliste.
