Fires recounts a naval officers investigation of disappearing vessels. with Lorenzo Mattotti (and others) in the coral group Valvoline, that published mainly on the auter magazine AlterAlter in the 80s: Fires by Lorenzo. Both stories were originally published in French this Dover edition features the 1988 English translation of Feux (Fires) and the 1993 English translation of Murmure (Murmur) English translations. Author Lorenzo Mattotti Format Hardback No. This handsome hardcover edition marks the first publication of Fires and Murmur in a single volume. but I can say that Lorenzo Mattotti is Italian and that an English translation has been published. and would recommend it to any lover of Comics. Murmur traces an amnesiac's quest across phantasmagoric landscapes to recover his identity - an enigmatic journey in which fear and confusion are resolved by arcane magic rituals. But in my mind 'Fires' puts Mattotti up there with the best, like Moebius, Manara, Corben, Pratt, etc. A second tale by Mattotti, co-written with Jerry Kramsky, offers another fantastic voyage. Mattotti's vivid illustrations, rendered with the depth and richness of paintings, propel the eye through a brooding, brilliantly colored atmosphere of mesmerizing imagery. Over the years, Mattotti’s work has evolved with a strong and constant coherence, but always with the eclecticism of the one who has the courage. When the expedition's leader, Lieutenant Absinthe, comes ashore, his encounter with the burning island's bizarre residents results in a form of psychic possession that leads to mayhem, madness, and murder. From 1984, his book Feux/Fire was welcomed as an event in the world of comics and won numerous international awards. A series of vessels have inexplicably disappeared from the vicinity, so the battleship Anselm II is dispatched to investigate. Created by Eisner Award-winning artist Lorenzo Mattotti, Fires sweeps readers off into a hypnotic, haunting fantasy centered on a mysterious island where the hills are constantly ablaze.
