The Comicon 2016 poster created by Magister Silver!
Il Master will play a fundamental role for the Comicon 2016, as well as for the last edition in which, for the first time, this figure was introduced. This year it will be Silver, the creator of Lupo Alberto, the new Magister (the creator of Lupo Alberto) and he is responsible for it realization of the Manifesto of the International Comics Show.
Silver then conceived and designed the poster, which was then rendered in an excellent way by the artistic director Roberto Policastro for Doppiovù Design. The image, as programmed, must be an explanatory one at most, to be able to give the public, immediately, all the fundamental information of the Comicon. Furthermore, it must recall the theme that is at the basis of the event, the common thread that has been at the basis of the event since last year: the relationship between comics and other media.
Last year Milo Manara represented the relationship between comics and print, and this year Silver focused on one of the first animation experiments of history: has decided to make a tribute to Krazy Kat and Ignatz Mouse, from the early 900s, by master George Herriman.
His manifesto thus indicates a link between the two media: just as Herriman's original cat mistakenly exchanges the brickwork thrown by the enemy, Ignatz the Mouse, so Lupo Alberto receives a brick on his head from the rival-friend Enrico la Talpa.
You can observe the Manifesto in the cover at the top.
