<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Uma grande presença na Feira do Livro POA 2009 foi Rafael Grampá, autor de quadrinhos que ganhou em 2008 o Eisner Awards, considerado o “oscar” do gênero, na categoria melhor antologia, com a HQ independente “5”, feita com quatro parceiros. <img src="http://marcelofialho.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/grampa.jpg?w=198" alt="grampa" title="grampa" width="198" height="300" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1261" /><br />
Ele veio ao Rio Grande para o encontro “Cruzando a arrebentação dos quadrinhos”, que visa debater essa forma artística.<br />
Em meio ao predomínio dos livros, Rafael pondera: “Não acho que quadrinhos sejam literatura, acho que são duas linguagens que se aproximam muito; e quadrinhos podem levar à pessoa para a literatura ou a se interessar por quadrinhos mais adultos também”.<br />
Seu atual projeto, junto com Daniel Pellizzari, é a série “Furry Water and The Sons Of Insurrection”, prevista para sair pela editora americana Dark Horse na metade de 2010. “É uma estória pós-apocalíptica sobre família”, define Rafael. </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Here are two illustrations from Rafael Grampá. I tend to gravitate towards things capes and tights related (no big surprise as I&#8217;ve been selling comics for over four years now), but I happen to prefer it when costumes actually look functional or homemade versus what looks like airbrushed on latex (which tends to be the bulk of what you&#8217;ll see in mainstream titles). It&#8217;s probably why I like Paul Pope&#8217;s Batman Year 100. I like to see an artist taking his/her time and actually thinking why a certain character dresses like they do. His Batman wears combat boots, and looks a little frumpy/out of place, but it works. It really does.</p>
<p>For example, Grampá&#8217;s version of Daredevil borrows heavily from Murdock&#8217;s relationship with boxing, which is referenced in his shorts, gloves, and boots.<br />
<img class="alignnone" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3588/3798135649_4816ca4f8d.jpg" alt="" width="329" height="500" /><br />
And really? There aren&#8217;t isn&#8217;t enough love for his yellow-and-red costume.<br />
<img class="alignnone" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3428/3718535928_fe1376b35e.jpg" alt="" width="345" height="500" /><br />
Frank&#8217;s mask is even stitched together. And check out the pins on his jacket;  shout-out to the Atomics? Yeah? God, I love little details like that. So good.</p>
<p>That reminds, note to self: stalk Mike Allred at <a href="http://www.wizardworld.com/home-apple.html">Big Apple Comic Con</a> this year.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t forget to check out check out his blog <a href="http://furrywater.wordpress.com/">here</a> and his Flickr <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rafaelgrampa/">here</a>, if you&#8217;re so inclined. And hey, homeboy uses WordPress too. It&#8217;s like we&#8217;re neighbors. You know if, the internet was an actual community rather than a digital one.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>And the Summer&#8217;s over! Really? That&#8230;went fast. I had fun, though. Hope you all did, too. Back to school, kiddies! I read 20 comics in August, and these were the best.</p>
<p> <img style="-ms-interpolation-mode:nearest-neighbor;" src="http://www.mondomagazine.net/mondo2_0/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Invincible-Iron-Man-16.jpg" alt="" width="440" height="668" /></p>
<p><strong>5. Invincible Iron Man #16</strong></p>
<p>Matt Fraction&#8217;s writing is absolutely top-notch. Yes, this story will read better as a whole, but our connection to Tony, Pepper, and Maria is so strong, it hardly matters. The only thing that brings this issue, and the entire series, down, is Salvador Larroca&#8217;s Greg Land-esque art.</p>
<p><a href="http://readrant.wordpress.com/2009/08/06/review-invincible-iron-man-16/">My Review</a></p>
<p><img src="http://www.comicheronews.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/ULTAVG001_cov_villain-02.jpg" alt="" width="440" height="668" /></p>
<p><strong>4. Ultimate Comics: Avengers #1</strong></p>
<p>Speaking of Summer, you like those blockbusters that accompany the season, right? Well then, this is the comic for you! Just some awesome-kickass, supercool fun! Mark Millar gives it to ya, and Carlos Pacheco makes it look pretty. This opening salvo features a bombastic helicopter fight and a terrifying new villain.</p>
<p><a href="http://readrant.wordpress.com/2009/08/17/bruce-castles-mini-reviews/">My Review</a></p>
<p> <img style="-ms-interpolation-mode:nearest-neighbor;" src="http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/0907/31/secretsix12c.jpg" alt="" width="434" height="668" /></p>
<p><strong>3. Secret Six #12</strong></p>
<p>Like my previous selection, this too is filled with action and good times, only with more twisted villainy. But this comic also has character and soul, and that counts for a lot. This is Jeannette&#8217;s issue to shine, and I think she blinded me. Carlos Pacheco&#8217;s beautiful interiors certainly contribute to UCA&#8217;s placement, but you know what? I&#8217;d put Nicola Scott up against Carlos Pacheco any day. Yeah, you read that right.</p>

<p> <img style="-ms-interpolation-mode:nearest-neighbor;" src="http://www.majorspoilers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05a/DCAugust2009/02/Batman-and-Robin-Cv3.jpg" alt="" width="440" height="668" /></p>
<p><strong>2. Batman and Robin #3</strong></p>
<p>Holy hell, Batman! This series just gets better and better! The first and second issue topped my list in their respective months, and it&#8217;s only by some Marvel miracle that this one didn&#8217;t. Since I don&#8217;t have a proper review of this issue, I want to go over a few things:</p>
<p>Professor Pyg&#8217;s &#8220;sexy disco hot.&#8221; <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_DVS_303kQ">Who else had this song in their head?</a></p>
<p>Any guesses on who was watching Alfred? Could it be the same person who spied on Bruce &#38; Jezebel all those issues ago?</p>
<p>Awhile ago, DC said, &#8220;Scarlet isn&#8217;t who you think she is.&#8221; That was a damn lie, and I&#8217;m pretty sure Red Hood is who you think he is too.</p>

<p><strong>1. Daredevil #500</strong></p>
<p>A phenomenal conclusion to what turned out to be a great run. Brubaker did DD proud, and definitely cast away Bendis&#8217; shadow. On top of that, you get a great short story and a reprint of possibly the best Daredevil comic ever! Yeah, I&#8217;m pretty sure that this isn&#8217;t just the best comic in August, it&#8217;s the best Marvel comic of the year.</p>

<description><![CDATA[  Brubaker&#8217;s run concludes, and delivers on the promise to shake things up. Bendis&#8217; run ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p> <img title="DD_POSTER_graficos" src="http://furrywater.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/dd_poster_graficos.jpg?w=420&#038;h=638#38;h=638" alt="DD_POSTER_graficos" width="420" height="638" /></p>
<p>Brubaker&#8217;s run concludes, and delivers on the promise to shake things up. Bendis&#8217; run ended with Murdock in jail, and while I won&#8217;t directly spoil the new status quo, I&#8217;m pretty sure you can guess <a href="http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/preview2.php?image=solicits/marvelcomics/200911/20_DAREDEVIL_502.jpg">from this upcoming Daredevil cover</a> that Marvel released before this issue. It&#8217;s a satisfying change, and while it may not be the most original, it has the potential to provide some great stories from new Daredevil scribe, Andy Diggle. Speaking of Diggle, one of this issue&#8217;s special features is a preview of Diggle&#8217;s first DD issue, The List, the upcoming Dark Reign special. It&#8217;s underwhelming, but mostly because of Billy Tan, and going from Michael Lark to Billy Tan just exacerbates the problem.</p>
<p>Michael Lark produces some stunning work, as he always does. Whether it&#8217;s the opening, tender shots of Matt and his tortured wife, Milla, or the electrifying showdown between Daredevil, Lady Bullseye, and the Kingpin, Lark hits all the right notes. Matt Hollingsworth, the colorist, also does a fantastic job, and it should be noted that Andy Diggle isn&#8217;t the only one with big shoes to fill. I hope Roberto De La Torre will step up to the challenge, and <a href="http://comics.ign.com/articles/997/997228p1.html">from what I&#8217;ve seen</a>, it looks like he will.</p>
<p>The first special feature of this anniversary issue is the aforementioned List preview. After that, former Daredevil scribe, Ann Nocenti, provides the story, 3 Jacks. Nocenti was known for her controversially preachy storytelling, but she&#8217;s a better writer now, and the subtext is subtler. Nocenti is also smart enough to give her collaborator, the brilliant David Aja, a bone-crunching fight scene to render. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever been more impressed with a back-story. I&#8217;ve longed for more Aja output for awhile, but now, I want more Nocenti too.</p>
<p>After that, we get a wonderful pinup gallery rendered by a variety of artists from Brian Michael Bendis to Patrick Zircher. The standout is the one you see above you, from the Brazilian artist, Rafael Grampá. He&#8217;s pretty new to America, but he&#8217;s already won an Eisner, and after seeing that Daredevil, I think he&#8217;s going to go far. <a href="http://furrywater.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/rafael_grampa_batmam_01.jpg">Check out his Batman and Robin!</a></p>
<p>Rounding out the extras is a reprint of one of, if not the best, single issue from Frank Miller&#8217;s run, Daredevil #191. Remember when Matt plays Russian roulette with a paralyzed Bullseye? Yeah, that one.</p>
<p>You put that all together and you get one of the best comics from Marvel all year! Brubaker concludes everything, and leaves his mark on Daredevil, giving him a bright future ripe with possibilities.</p>
<p><strong>Grade: A</strong></p>

<description><![CDATA[Seus álbuns já passam das cem páginas, vêm com lombada quadrada e vendem não mais em bancas de jorna]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1661" title="Trecho da série &#34;Procurando São Paulo&#34;, dos gêmeos Bá &#38; Moon" src="http://cafeespacial.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/gemeos.jpg" alt="Trecho da série &#34;Procurando São Paulo&#34;, dos gêmeos Bá &#38; Moon" width="450" height="305" />Seus álbuns já passam das cem páginas, vêm com lombada quadrada e vendem não mais em bancas de jornal, mas em grandes livrarias. Mais do que a forma, no entanto, é o conteúdo que ajudou a abrir as portas da literatura para as HQs. E em grande estilo: quatro artistas da nova geração de autores brasileiros tiveram a responsabilidade de dar o pontapé inicial em uma das principais festas literárias do país, a Flip, em Paraty.</p>
<p>Antes, portanto, de Gay Talese, Chico Buarque e Richard Dawkins &#8211; para citar algu</p>
<p>ns dos escritores convidados de destaque desta Flip -, os bibliófilos vão se sentar diante de <strong>Fábio Moon</strong>, <strong>Gabriel Bá</strong>, <strong>Rafael Grampá</strong> e <strong>Rafael Coutinho</strong> em uma mesa que deve discutir, a princípio, os elos entre a literatura e os quadrinhos.<br />
<em> &#8220;Não dá para dizer que HQ é literatura&#8221;</em>, sai na frente o gaúcho Grampá, desenhista e roteirista de seu álbum de estreia, o elogiado &#8220;<strong>Mesmo delivery</strong>&#8220;.<em> &#8220;Mas essa discussão vai ser boa. Coisas como &#8216;Isaac, o Pirata&#8217; e &#8216;I killed Adolf Hitler&#8217;, de Jason, são tão boas quanto qualquer livro que já li&#8221;</em>, complementa.</p>
<p>Autor de graphic novels como &#8220;<strong>O girassol e a lua</strong>&#8220;, do fanzine &#8220;<strong>10 pãezinhos</strong>&#8221; e um dos quadrinistas brasileiros mais reconhecidos no exterior &#8211; juntamente com o irmão gêmeo, Bá -, Moon concorda. <em>&#8220;O que tem sido produzido recentemente tem gerado um reconhecimento muito maior para os quadrinhos, tem chamado a atenção de um público que não é só aquele que lê HQs, como o pessoal da Flip. Eles estão interessados no conteúdo que está sendo produzido&#8221;</em>, opina o quadrinista paulistano.<br />
Veteranos das convenções de quadrinhos &#8211; inclusive a americana San Diego Comic-Con, em que, em 2008, venceram o cobiçado (e inédito para um brasileiro) <strong>prêmio Eisner</strong> -, Moon e Bá devem ficar à vontade em um evento literário.<em> &#8220;A literatura sempre foi muito importante para o jeito como a gente escreve. Decidimos fazer quadrinhos não pelas HQs que a gente leu, mas pelos livros que a gente leu&#8221;</em>, revela Moon, fã de &#8220;Capitães de areia&#8221; dos tempos de escola e responsável por uma das melhores adaptações de &#8220;O alienista&#8221;, de Machado de Assis, para os quadrinhos.</p>
<p><span style="color:#888888;">Inversão de papéis</span><br />
Crescido em um ambiente mais do que propenso às HQs, o artista plástico &#8211; e filho do quadrinista Laerte &#8211; <strong>Rafael Coutinho</strong> também reconhece o flerte entre as linguagens. <em>&#8220;É verdade que nos últimos tempos os quadrinhos adultos amadureceram e vêm conversando com a literatura em diversos níveis. Acho interessante que as pessoas façam um esforço para ver o ponto em comum entre as mídias, mas, para os autores, isso vai bem mais além: eles se permitem voar entre as mídi<span style="font-style:normal;"><em>as de uma forma muito mais solta do que se espera&#8221;</em>, defende Coutinho, que prepara uma história longa em parceria com o escritor <strong>Daniel Galera</strong>.</span></em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;&#8216;Cachalote&#8217; são seis histórias, contadas em seis frentes diferentes que não se cruzam, mas são conduzidas por uma supra-história que as une</em>&#8220;, define. <em>&#8220;O Galera estava muito interessado em fazer alguma coisa em quadrinhos. Ficamos amigos no bar, jogamos as ideias na mesa e vimos o que saía&#8221;.</em> Um preview da HQ foi publicado neste mês na <a href="http://www.revistapiaui.com.br/edicao_33/artigo_1051/Cachalote.aspx" target="_blank"><span style="color:#3366ff;">revista piauí</span></a>.</p>
<p>Assim como Coutinho, Grampá também colabora com um escritor. Em parceria com <strong>Daniel Pellizari</strong>, ele prepara &#8220;<strong>Furry water</strong>&#8220;, sua HQ mais ambiciosa até agora, com um total de 192 páginas e previsão de lançamento primeiro no mercado americano. <em>&#8220;Tive a impressão de que o Mojo [apelido de Pellizari] teve de se adaptar muito mais [ao formato das HQs] do que eu a ele. É bem diferente o roteiro de um quadrinho de uma prosa ou um romance. Ainda mais neste livro, em que estamos escrevendo só os diálogos, sem recordatórios&#8221;.</em></p>
<p>Mas, se o interesse dos escritores em se aventurar pelo terreno das HQs parece estar aflorando, o caminho inverso não é necessariamente verdadeiro. <em>&#8220;A literatura precisa de um background um pouquinho mais profundo, de uma verticalidade maior dentro da palavra&#8221;, afirma Coutinho. &#8220;Você tem de ler como um desesperado. A boa literatura é feita de profundidade. Não dá para sair por aí escrevendo, seria muita irresponsabilidade&#8221;.</em></p>
<p>Grampá completa: <em>&#8220;quando o escritor vai fazer a história, a palavra é tudo. Para mim, é só mais um dos componentes que posso lançar mão para contar a minha. Não preciso de palavras para contar uma HQ. Posso fazer histórias mudas&#8221;.</em></p>

<p>(Valeu Vertigem!)</p>
<p>Agora, dando continuidade ao post iniciado <a href="http://bipsonar.wordpress.com/2009/04/14/quadrinhos-musica/#more-79">aqui</a></p>
<p>Bem, quem conhece o cenário indie de quadrinhos? Assim como o cinema, a música, o &#8220;estilo&#8221;, há também hqs indies e alternativas, como &#8220;<a href="http://www.lojaconrad.com.br/HqEuropeu/Epileptico_-_Volume_1.asp">Epiléptico</a>&#8220;, &#8220;<a href="http://www.scottpilgrim.com/">Scott Pilgrim</a>&#8220;, &#8220;<a href="http://updateordie.com/updates/ilustradores/2008/08/hq-5-bra-ganha-best-anthologie-no-eisner-awards/">5</a>&#8220;, &#8220;<a href="http://www2.uol.com.br/10paezinhos/">10 pãezinhos</a>&#8220;, &#8220;<a href="http://www.universohq.com/quadrinhos/2008/n29092008_04.cfm">Mesmo Delivery</a>&#8220;, entre outras hqs independentes.</p>
<p>Uma que pretendo falar é a mini-série em pb, Demo:</p>
<p><a href="http://bipsonar.wordpress.com/files/2009/05/demo.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-314" title="demo" src="http://bipsonar.wordpress.com/files/2009/05/demo.jpg" alt="demo" width="450" height="689" /></a></p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>Escrita por <a href="http://www.brianwood.com/">Brian Wood</a>, que é, entre outras coisas, colaborador da Rockstar Games (ele que desenha as capas e imagens da série GTA) e &#8220;criador&#8221; da série DMZ do selo Vertigo da DC Comics. As ilutrações, tanto das capas como do interior, são <a href="http://www.estrigious.com/becky/">de Becky Cloonan</a>, que entre seus projetos estão a arte de American Virgin e o &#8220;encontro&#8221; 5, junto comVasilis Lolos e os brasileiros Rafael Grampá e os gêmeos, Gabriel Bá e Fábio Moon.</p>
<p>O que importa é, a mini Demo serve como um reflexo dessa &#8220;geração&#8221; meio indie. Becky Cloonan faz parte desse meio, seus personagens se vestem como ela. A música esta intimamente ligada a essas passagens da &#8220;moda&#8221;. Se sente a música nas hq&#8217;s demos. Demos pois são curtas, pequenas histórias com personagens jovens e aparentemente comuns, com seus problemas e seus &#8220;estilos&#8221;.</p>
<p>A grande sacada esta ai, há &#8220;poderes&#8221; em meio a hq, revelados somente no seu final. O bacana acaba se tornando descobri qual é o &#8220;fardo&#8221; que cada personagem carrega. Definitivamente uma série necessária e recomendada.</p>
<p>(ps: a última hq os papéis se invertem em dado momento, Brian desenha e Becky escreve. Em forma de prosa, solta&#8230; é uma das passagens mais belas da mini)</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Olá Galerê !</p>
<p>Hoje tenho a tarefa de postar sobre algo que particularmente eu adoro: desenhos ! Gosto que veio de meus pais que fizeram técnico em desenho a muitos anos atrás. Ao ver a imagem de John Lennon e Yoko Ono<span class="bl gl"> </span>no papel, feito por minha mãe, me apaixonei.<br />
Para representar nosso curso, nada melhor que nosso colega de sala <strong>Lucas Fonseca</strong>, faz Comunicação em Multimeios na PUC-SP, e está no seu 3º semestre.</p>

<p>&#8221; <em>Comecei a desenhar bem novo, com uns 5 anos ja rabiscava qualquer superfície lisa;<br />
 com o tempo, comecei a copiar coisas, desenhos que eu gostava<br />
e depois tentava reproduzir eles, sem ver o original.<br />
como eu lia (leio) muita hq, minha referência maior sempre foi um traço mais de &#8220;quadrinhos&#8221;<br />
quando mais novo gostava de bolar heróis e fanfics, pequenas histórias só para mim e meus pais<br />
(eventualmente uma série para o pessoal da época do colégio)</em></p>
<p>A maioria dos meus desenhos são &#8220;originais&#8221;, não tira de lugares, copio, ou coisa do tipo<br />
nem gosto muito, normalmente tento mais criar&#8230; não são nada exemplares comparado com o ramo &#8220;profissional&#8221; das coisas, mas td bem<br />
a sim, nunca fiz ou frequentei aulas de desenho e essas coisas. No máximo um curso de quadrinização de 6 meses<br />
mas um bom curso de desenho esta em minhas metas &#8220;</p>
<p><em>&#8221; Amo os traços de Frank Quitely e Moebius<br />
mas como eles são muito detalhistas e de estilo único, as referencias &#8220;de verdade&#8221;, que tomo como base para mim são 3:<br />
<a title="Ted Benoit" href="http://www.comicsreporter.com/images/uploads/tedbenoitbday2008.jpg" target="_blank">Ted Benoit </a>, artista francês que participou do movimento &#8220;<strong>Ligne claire</strong>&#8220;. Seus traços são simples, limpos e bem definidos. Adoro, mesmo que os meus sejam sujos e rabiscados.<br />
<a title="Becky Cloonan" href="http://media.photobucket.com/image/Becky%20Cloonan/opwound2/12%20Questions/Becky-Cloonan-DEMO-11-cover.jpg" target="_blank">Becky Cloonan</a>, ela tem um traço bem simples, quando quero fazer algo rápido, de caneta, normalmente sai algo parecido com as coisas dela. É leve e cai muito bem em histórias rápidas e mais &#8220;sentimentais&#8221;, como a mini série Demo. É uma artista indie do novo cenário americano.<br />
<a href="http://elmanjericon.files.wordpress.com/2007/06/grampa-cover-5.gif" target="_blank">Rafael Grampá</a>, esse desenho faz parte de um &#8220;encadernado&#8221; chamado 5. 5 pq são os 5 nomes principais das hqs indies de hj em dia, alem dos 5 serem amigos. Becky Cloonan, os irmãos Fabio Moon e Gabriel Bá, Vasilis Lolos e Rafael Grampá. Desses 5, 3 são brasileiros, de grande destaque internacional. Acho Rafael Grampá o mais &#8220;talentoso&#8221; de todos, seu traço é &#8220;sujo&#8221;, cheio de detalhes. É algo que se aproxima mais do que pretendo &#8220;ser&#8221;.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><a href="void(0);" target="_blank">www.flickr.com/lucasfonara</a></p>
<p>É isso pessoal, espero que tenham gostado dos desenhos !</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="margin:0;">No ano passado, na última visita que fiz à Festcomix, além da feliz surpresa de encontrar o quarto álbum português de Sillage, também encontrei um trabalho sobre o qual eu estava devendo um post. Trata-se do álbum “Mesmo Delivery”, do paulistano Rafael Grampá. O achado foi bastante ocasional. Eu já estava de saída quando dei com um quiosque com quadrinhos nacionais. Convenhamos, muitos de nossos artistas ou apresentam uma verborragia umbilical que acreditam ser lírica, ou se aventuram em tentar criar uma identidade nacional para o gênero dos super-heróis. Mas deixar-se levar por esse raciocínio generalista seria preconceito e, por isso, dei uma paradinha frente ao quiosque. Não demorou que a capa de “Mesmo” chamasse minha atenção. Folheei o álbum e, em poucos segundos, minha compra estava decidida. Ou quase&#8230; Havia duas versões. Uma em inglês e outra em português. A mesma qualidade gráfica nas duas e, surpreendentemente a edição importada estava mais barata. Foi a que levei.</p>
<p style="margin:0;">Ao invés da verborragia e dos heróis de tanga tupiniquins, encontrei uma história despretensiosa, coerente, rápida, ácida e divertida. Violenta, sim, mas intrigante e sem frescuras.</p>
<p style="margin:0;">O desenho carrega as maiores qualidades de “Mesmo”. Estilizado e detalhado, ao mesmo tempo. As cenas de ação e violência são explícitas e o sangue que jorra dos corpos parece que vai escorrer para fora do papel. Não é banal. É brilhantemente incômodo. As brincadeiras que Grampá faz com as onomatopéias não são originais, mas são feitas com uma competência que eu não via desde os quadrinhos de Howard Chaykin.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;">Em seu blog (<a href="http://furrywater.wordpress.com/">http://furrywater.wordpress.com/</a>), Grampá anunciou que fará algumas páginas para a revista Hellblazer, desenhando John Constantine. Espero ansiosamente ver seu trabalho se espalhando além dessa participação especial. Merece.</p>
<p style="margin:0;">Se eu fosse você, ficaria de olho nesse quadrinista.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img src="http://www.waltkneeland.com/covers/hellblazer250.jpg" alt="" align="left" /><em>Happy New F***ing Year, Christmas Cards, All I Goat for Christmas, The Curse of Christmas, Snow Had Fallen</em></p>
<p><strong>Writers:</strong> Dave Gibbons, Brian Azzarello, China Mieville, Jamie Delano, Peter Milligan<br />
<strong>Art:</strong> Sean Phillips, Rafael Grampa, David Lloyd, Eddie Campbell<br />
<strong>Letters:</strong> Sean Phillips, Jared K. Fletcher<br />
<strong>Colors:</strong> Val Staples, Marcus Penna, Jamie Grant, David Lloyd, Dominic Regan<br />
<strong>Breakdowns (Snow Had Fallen):</strong> Giuseppe Camuncoli<br />
<strong>Finishes (Snow Had Fallen):</strong> Stefano Landini<br />
<strong>Asst. Editor:</strong> Brandon Montclare<br />
<strong>Editor:</strong> Bob Schreck<br />
<strong>Cover:</strong> Lee Bermejo<br />
<strong>Publisher:</strong> Vertigo (DC Comics)</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re gonna charge me $3.99 for one issue, this is the way to go. 38 pages of actual story content, high-quality creative teams (multiple instances of quality Hellblazer talent), contained in a milestone issue that could be an event and yet isn&#8217;t an event. This is the longest-running Vertigo title, this is the milestone 250th issue of the series&#8211;an extremely respectable number in a day &#8216;n age when only a handful of titles in all comics have maintained consistent numbering while reaching such a point. Focusing in on Christmas (&#8220;holiday, sure, but there&#8217;s a lot of reference by name to Christmas!), we get five shorts showing John Constantine in slices of life, just being himself around Christmas.</p>
<p>I checked out a couple years ago from buying the single issues, finding that I was enjoying this series far more through the collected volumes; I&#8217;ve fallen behind on those collected volumes, so am not up to date on recent happenings for this book.  That said, I feel like I only missed nuances here. The character, the feel and tone of Constantine is still there. The stories fit the character. And though just picking this up for the &#8220;special&#8221; nature of the issue, I don&#8217;t feel out of it nor lost.</p>
<p>The first story follows Constantine as he pursues someone who has been assembling stuff to invoke immortality for himself&#8211;the price of said immortality likely requiring the life of a child.  In Christmas Cards, John watches a game of poker he himself is banned from&#8211;offering commentary and observations none the less, as well as the nature of a couple of people present.  All I Goat for Christmas suggests a ritual that may have broken the curse on a certain sports team seemingly cursed right out of any championships.  The Curse of Christmas shows an encounter Constantine has with someone who managed to work an actual curse into an address given by a very public official.  Finally, Snow Had Fallen details a fairly magical sort of snowfall that challenges the faith of a man overseeing sick children.</p>
<p>All five stories have that &#8220;classic&#8221; Constantine feel to them. They&#8217;re sorta slice-of-life due to being short and not part of some big event&#8211;these are the sorta things John deals with routinely in his world/experiences, specifically around Christmas.</p>
<p>The art varies, giving different visual styles, different visual interpretations of Constantine &#38; Co. The first three&#8211;by Phillips, Lloyd, and Grampa respectively&#8211;are probably my favorites, as they get across a certain feel of darkness or grittiness that seems particularly appropriate for their stories.  The fourth didn&#8217;t work very well for me visually&#8211;personal preference, probably. The final story&#8217;s visuals were not bad, but had something I can&#8217;t quite put my finger on&#8211;perhaps a bit of brightness&#8211;that simply didn&#8217;t put it in the top three for me of this issue.</p>
<p>All in all, this works very well as an anniversary-style issue. Rather than hosting a huge event, this serves also as a &#8220;holiday special&#8221; with the focus of the tales. And the tales are provided by Hellblazer creative teams from throughout the years.</p>
<p>Whether you follow this series regularly are are merely aware of the character&#8217;s existence, this seems a great issue to pick up as a one-shot, whether you plan to continue with the next issue or not.  Besides&#8230;.you could do so much worse for $4.  I give this issue an extra half point as a whole&#8211;the package is greater than any of the individual parts.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>The last few days have been fun, as Jason and I peered into our crystal balls to look at what 2009 might hold. However, it&#8217;s possible that those thoughts may have seemed a tad cynical to some; I&#8217;ll go so far as to say that some may have called them snarky. It may seem to some readers that Jason and I look on the comics industry with disdain, and nothing could be farther from the truth. Well, ok, many things could be farther from the truth, but we&#8217;re not totally jaded. Along those lines, I wanted to look at some of the highlights of the previous year.</p>
<p>This is not a best of list. I simply don&#8217;t read the breadth of comics that I would need to read to compile a list like that. No, this is a list of what happened in 2008 that gives me hope for the future. I&#8217;ll also touch on those things that make me think that 2009 may not be such a bad year for comics after all.</p>
<p><strong>A new Scott Pilgrim book announced for 2009. </strong>Jason and I have touted Scott Pilgrim quite a few times, but there&#8217;s a reason that this gives me hope. It has long been established that the only financially successful model for comics to follow is to publish monthly pamphlets (or floppies or whatever you want to call the comics that we all know so well) and then to collect those previously published floppies into trade paperbacks some months after their initial printing. There have been some original graphic novels, but generally those are only created by big name creators, those who already have a built in following.</p>
<p>Scott Pilgrim refuses to follow this model. Like the titular hero of the book, this creation comes to us in small graphic novels, each completely original. The writer/artist, Bryan Lee O&#8217;Malley, is not a well known creator with a built in following. Yet he&#8217;s publishing Scott Pilgrim in a way which I feel shows that there are other options beyond what Marvel and DC believe comics can be published. He&#8217;s not the only one who&#8217;s exploring alternate ways of publishing comics, but he&#8217;s one of the most successful and he gives me hope for the medium.</p>
<p><strong>Jeff Smith&#8217;s career. </strong>Jeff Smith is the writer and artist who created the absolutely charming and exciting <em>Bone </em>comic, which he self-published. That comic ended in 2004, at which time Smith began working on the equally amazing and endearing <em>Shazam: Monster Society of Evil, </em>a four issue limited series which made the best use of DC&#8217;s Captain Marvel that I&#8217;d read in decades. Once that miniseries was over, Smith went back to creator owned work, publishing <em>RASL</em>, a series about a dimension-jumping art thief. So why does his career fill me with such hope?</p>
<p>I believe that corporate comics have a place, and can be quite enjoyable, but I also believe that they can drain the creative fire from a creator. I&#8217;ve seen creators who I greatly admire go to work for DC and Marvel, only to find the originality, humanity and that special unique voice they had disappear within that culture (&#60;cough&#62; Winick &#60;cough&#62;). Jeff Smith proved that you can do those corporate comics and not lose your voice. He&#8217;s also shown that he can succeed in multiple genres, as <em>RASL </em>has proven to be just as intriguing as <em>Bone</em>, albeit not as dependent on adorable animals and stars. I&#8217;d love to see more creators take those lessons to heart.</p>
<p><strong>Captain America. She-Hulk. X-Factor. Manhunter. </strong>I&#8217;m not a big fan of where the Marvel or DC Universes are going these days. I find that both companies seem to favor brainless, unending crossovers, where perhaps a few good ideas lay buried, instead of simply publishing good books. That being said, the titles I mention above are all excellent comics, and they prove that even when you&#8217;re writing a comic set in a universe that has taken a turn for the worse, you can still write an entertaining story. Sadly, two of these four comics have been cancelled, but I have no doubt that they will be replaced by other entertaining books that shall dance on the periphery of the major superhero universes, reminding us that some people truly can make lemonade from even the tartest of lemons. They give me hope that, even if I don&#8217;t like the direction of Marvel and DC, they will always publish some comics I enjoy without reservation.</p>
<p><strong>Ed Brubaker and Grant Morrison: </strong>These men have written some of the most mainstream comics on the stands today, and can be considered some of the movers and shakers of their respective universes. Not all of their comics are ones that I love, but more often than not, they have written books that continue to push at the edges of the comic&#8217;s medium, taking old, overused cliches of the business and making them work. Along the way, they&#8217;ve managed to create some comics which truly show that superheroes can be fun to read, they can be interesting, and they can be used to explore some important themes. I look forward to seeing what these gentlemen create in 2009.</p>
<p><strong>DC Starts its Final Crisis: </strong>I&#8217;m not a big fan of this <em>Final Crisis. </em>That said, I love the word Final, and while I&#8217;m probably being naive, I&#8217;m hoping that it truly is final. I&#8217;m hoping that, in 2009, we&#8217;ll see DC move away from these huge events, and just start telling stories again. Stories that begin in a hero&#8217;s book and end (yes, they must end to be a story; Marvel and DC both need to recognize that) in that same book. Stories that don&#8217;t require a massive knowledge of the DCU, and stories that, simply put, are good. That&#8217;s my hope for 2009, and I have it because DC tells me that this is the last of their crises. Fingers crossed.</p>
<p><strong>James Robinson returns to comics. </strong>Of course, he may have left again, if rumors are true, but his return gave me hope. I believe that Robinson is at his best when he&#8217;s writing books where he doesn&#8217;t have to worry about massive editorial interference, or worrying about umpty-bazillion crossovers, but just the fact that he&#8217;s writing comics again means we could possibly see the brilliance he displayed in <em>Starman </em>and <em>The Golden Age</em>. One of my favorite comics writers ever has returned, and that makes me happy.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s some of the things that give me hope for 2009. Jason, anything to add?</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">Yes, in fact, I do have a few things to add. Some build off of what you&#8217;ve already stated and others reflect my own twisted favorites in the comic industry.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">First off, I heartily agree with your Scott Pilgrim recognition. I also like how you couched your point in the position that a new book was &#8220;announced&#8221; in 2008. While O&#8217;Malley has been rather methodical in putting out a volume a year, 2008 went by without any <strong>Scott Pilgrim</strong>. #4 came out towards the end of 2007 and #5 comes out early next year. I&#8217;m just glad to know we don&#8217;t have to wait much longer!</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">Your praise of a few good series interests me. I&#8217;ve been saying for a year or more that I wanted to start reading the <strong>She-Hulk</strong> trades. I guess it&#8217;ll be easier to catch up now that the series has been cancelled! I gave up on <strong>X-Factor</strong> a few issues ago. With the tie-ins to both <em>Messiah Complex</em> and <em>Secret Invasion</em>, it felt like the book lost its entertaining focus. The stories turned more towards plot devices than character interaction. And the artwork became quite horrible, in my opinion. Sad, really. I liked the early run that built off the <em>Madrox</em> miniseries from a couple years back. I&#8217;m on the second of Brubaker&#8217;s <strong>Captain America</strong> trades and it&#8217;s&#8230;interesting so far. Not sure I like it yet as much as his <strong>Daredevil</strong> run. All in all, Brubaker has probably impressed me the most this past year&#8230;from the mentioned titles to <strong>Criminal</strong> to <strong>Immortal Iron Fist</strong>&#8230;and, in the theme of this post, I&#8217;m looking forward to his <strong>Incognito</strong> book with Sean Phillips in 2009.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">I&#8217;d be remiss if I didn&#8217;t mention Brubaker&#8217;s partner in crime on <em>Iron Fist</em> (and <em>Uncanny X-Men</em>), Matt Fraction. You know how much I&#8217;ve enjoyed his writing the past few years. While his Marvel work has lost some of the attitude and sparkle of his more independent stuff, I still think Matt is one of the top up-and-comers in comics today. The first arc of his <strong>Invincible Iron Man</strong> felt like something I wanted to write, which is probably the best praise I can offer in my own conceited world. Curious to see what he has up his sleeve for 2009.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">Andy Diggle on <em>Thunderbolts</em> has me curious. Loved his run on <em>Losers,</em> and the <em>Green Arrow: Year One</em> book was a solid take on the character. I&#8217;m also looking forward to Dan Slott&#8217;s run on <strong>Mighty Avengers</strong>. Partially because he&#8217;s not Bendis and partially because Slott is a huge Avengers fan, but mostly because he writes fun books with the right mix of action, comedy and crucial moments. I first became a fan of his work with the <em>Arkham Asylum: Living Hell</em> miniseries he did at DC in 2003. The early issues of his <em>Avengers: Initiative</em> drew my interest for a while, but I ended up cutting it from my pull list when it got too mired in &#8220;big event&#8221; plotting. Another book I liked was Paul Cornell&#8217;s <strong>Captain Britain and MI:13</strong> series. Unfortunately, I only got the first four issues and then couldn&#8217;t track down the rest. I guess I&#8217;m looking forward to the trades in 2009!</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">I&#8217;ll echo your approval of James Robinson&#8217;s return. I picked up the first hardcover collection of <strong>Starman</strong> this summer and loved it. His <em>Golden Age</em> is one of my all-time favorite stories too. It&#8217;s true that he seems to work best when not being saddled by continuity and editorial interference. That said, volume two of Starman comes out in a few short months! DC has also started releasing larger hardcover collections of <strong>Y: The Last Man</strong> and just announced the same treatment for <strong>Fables</strong>. I give two thumbs up to those decisions. I want to get my wife interested in both titles (I already got her hooked on <em>Preacher</em> and <em>Blue Monday</em>) and these hardcovers seem like the best way to do it. On that note, Chynna Clugston started a new <strong>Blue Monday</strong> miniseries in 2008 and I look forward to grabbing that trade next year.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">A lot of the other stuff I&#8217;m interested in may show up in my stocking from Santa next week. My wish list includes things like: Chip Kidd&#8217;s <em>Bat-Manga</em> book, the <em>Skyscrapers of the Midwest</em> collection from Josh Cotter, the first trade of Warren Ellis&#8217; <em>Freakangels</em>, <em>Mesmo Delivery</em> by Rafael Grampa, a few of the Golden Age ACG archives (Green Lama, Magicman, Nemesis) put out by Dark Horse, the <em>Scud</em> collection from Image, <em>Omega the Unknown</em> by Jonathan Lethem &#38; Farel Dalrymple and Blake Bell&#8217;s book about Steve Ditko. Most, if not all, of these books were released in 2008. Kudos to the comic industry for that output!<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">See? Not everything I read has superheroes in it!<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">On a final note, I&#8217;d also like to expand on your note that <em>Final Crisis</em> was introduced in 2008. Unfortunately, it wasn&#8217;t finished in 2008. I&#8217;m going to go on the record right now and announce that I just don&#8217;t care for event comics. Sure, I buy them every freakin&#8217; time they put them out, but I think that&#8217;s more a collector&#8217;s reflex than any sort of focused interest. I&#8217;m almost always disappointed by the results. And DC&#8217;s overall universe has taken a gigantic hit in stability, from my point of view, as a result of all this constant &#8220;OH NO!&#8221; foreshadowing and angsty, heavy-handed plotting. There is not a single title on DC&#8217;s current slate, aside form some Vertigo titles, that interests me in the least. Two years ago, I was reading almost everything they put out. If that&#8217;s not a glaring problem, I don&#8217;t know what is. Sadly, Marvel is starting to deliver the same results for me. The only titles I consistently read anymore are the peripheral books that don&#8217;t seem to be as rooted in the general nonsense going on. I&#8217;d like to see a moratorium on Events (with a capital &#8220;E&#8221;). At the least, corral them into a family of titles instead of the entire breadth of your output. The dreaded <em>Spider-Man: Clone Saga</em> was an odious piece of garbage, but it was segregated enough to keep its stench off the rest of the world. Same goes for most X-Men soap opera plots that I have less and less interest in as I get older. Is it too much to ask that we just get an excellent run of Justice League stories or Avengers stories or Batman stories or (god forbid) Wolverine stories without all the restless claptrap constantly revolving around them? And don&#8217;t tell me that the &#8220;market has changed&#8221; and the &#8220;customers&#8217; expectations have evolved.&#8221; That&#8217;s complete and utter bull. These changes and evolutions are self-made. Writers write &#8220;for the trades&#8221; because they&#8217;re lazy or because the publishers are greedy. It has nothing to do with the readers. I&#8217;m pretty sure I never signed a petition asking for gloomy, redundant, violent comics without a glimmer of hope or excitement. I don&#8217;t remember picketing outside DC&#8217;s offices with a sign that said &#8220;More Rape Please!&#8221; I&#8217;m not saying Spider-Man shouldn&#8217;t be punching bad guys in the face. On the contrary, I think he should do more of it&#8230;with less of the &#8220;sky is falling&#8221; consequences, sideways glances, overwhelming politics and downward-spiral finality of it all. Lighten the f*** up.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">I know that rant isn&#8217;t really a &#8220;highlight&#8221; of 2008. But perhaps 2009 could be the year we get back to good, fun comics? I&#8217;d like to be able to praise that accomplishment at this time next year.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">John?</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Jason, Jason, take your tablets.  Go to your happy place for a few minutes.  We&#8217;ll wait.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Of course, I can&#8217;t disagree with your rant at all.  Your points are all valid, I agree with them, and I would also love to see 2009 be a return to more fun comics.  Not every comic has to be Giffen/DeMatteis&#8217; <em>Justice League</em>, but not every comic has to be a blood drenched gritty buzzkiller either.  Good grief.  Alan Moore (not one of Jason&#8217;s favorites, but I like his work) seems to be able to do serious stories that don&#8217;t seem to drown in pathos and unnecessary violence.  Perhaps it&#8217;s because, for every <em>From Hell </em>he&#8217;s written, he&#8217;s also produced a more lighthearted book, like <em>Tomorrow Stories </em>or <em>Tom Strong</em>.  </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Still, I believe we may have gotten off point a tad.  I will echo your words about Dan Slott, a writer who does an excellent job of writing good stories, yet recognizing that they can be fun.  His <em>Great Lakes Avengers </em>limited series is still one of my favorites.  And for those, like you, who were turned off by Larry Stroman&#8217;s art on <em>X-Factor</em>, he has left the book, so you may want to give it another try.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">We&#8217;ve both shared some of what we thought was important in 2008, as well as what gives us hope in 2009.  There&#8217;s good stuff out now to read, and more on the way, but the percentage of good reads compared to what&#8217;s being published isn&#8217;t nearly as high as it should be.</span><br />

<description><![CDATA[By Rafael Grampa (Writer &amp; Artist) and Marcus Penna (Colorist) Some Thoughts Before The Review: ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><em>By Rafael Grampa (Writer &#38; Artist) and Marcus Penna (Colorist)</em></p>
<p><strong><img class="alignright" style="border:1px solid black;margin:5px;" src="http://www.adhousebooks.com/books/images/cvrs/BOOKS/AD_MESMO_DELIVERYlo.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="375" />Some Thoughts Before The Review:</strong> I decided to pick up <em>Mesmo Delivery </em>after seeing the slick looking preview pages and hearing nothing but good things about the book for the past month or so. So is Rafael Grampa&#8217;s first solo work a true indie gem or is it a victim of the dreaded hype machine? Read on to find out.</p>
<p><strong>The Story:</strong> <em>Mesmo Delivery </em>follows two men, a burly truck driver and a company hand, as they make their way through a rural town to deliver a package to its intended destination. The only company rule is that the back of the truck must remain closed so that the package cannot be seen by the driver or anyone else. As you might have guessed, things don&#8217;t exactly go smoothly. Rufo, the truck driver, finds himself in way over his head upon accepting a bet with a local and soon all hell breaks loose in two very different ways.</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s Good:</strong> Part mystery, part thriller, and part gory action-horror story, <em>Mesmo </em>is one trippy trucker tale. It easily overcomes a few generic plot points by providing a mystery laced with a number of unexpected twists and buckets of well-executed gore. Trust me when I say that, in both style and execution, you haven&#8217;t seen anything quite like <em>Mesmo Delivery</em>.</p>
<p>Rafael Grampa&#8217;s kinetic, well-choreographed visuals offer a unique mixture of meticulous detail, the surreal, and disturbing hyper-violence. As strange as that may sound, the style proves to be a perfect fit for a story that definitely takes a few readings to fully appreciate. By revealing some, but not all of the necessary information, Grampa manages to transform a fairly basic trucker tale into something incredibly compelling.</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s Not So Good:</strong> Simply put, <em>Mesmo Delivery </em>is not a book for everyone. The insanely graphic violence and a few odd shots featuring the female anatomy keep it strictly for a more mature audience. In addition, I can easily imagine more than a few readers being frustrated by the obtuse story and the lack of any concrete resolution, especially for a comic that goes for around twelve bucks.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> While it is almost certain to be one of the most divisive releases of the year, there is no denying how impressive the presentation and artistic execution displayed in <em>Mesmo Delivery</em>. Personally, I found the book to be an imaginative, cinematic mix of genres that worked on a number of levels. As such, I highly recommend it to mature readers looking for something quite a bit different from the usual Marvel or DC fare.</p>
<p><strong>Grade: A-</strong></p>

<description><![CDATA[É com muito orgulho que vos mostro o novo trabalho de Rafael Grampá. O brasileiro está ganhando mais]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-579" src="http://12horasdesono.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/55_2844-alt-revistacaparafaelgrampa.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="205" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">É com muito orgulho que vos mostro o novo trabalho de <em><strong><a href="http://furrywater.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Rafael Grampá</a></strong></em>. O brasileiro está ganhando mais e mais espaço lá fora, já que aqui no Brasil os ilustradores não ganham o reconhecimento necessário para fazerem seu trabalho. É até engraçado isso, não? O cara é brazuca, mas acaba sendo praticamente um gringo. Seu trabalho saiu primeiramente nos EUA, na Comic-Con, para depois vir para cá. Se o Brasil investisse mais nesse tipo de cultura com certeza ia haver uma movimentação maior de grana para o meio. Podemos não ter tanto público alvo como os EUA para os quadrinhos, mas a parcela fiel desse público não é tão pequena assim e vai estar sempre lá para comprar a sua. Enfim&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mas esse papo é muito denso e pode ser deixado para uma outra oportunidade. O importante é que <em><strong>Rafael Grampá</strong></em> faz um ótimo trabalho e já conseguiu seu espaço. Para quem não sabe ele é o responsável por <em><strong>Mesmo Delivery</strong></em>. Uma HQ com volume único cheia de ricos detalhes, seja na ilustração ou no roteiro. E agora ele está trabalhando em uma história de <em><strong>Hellblazer</strong></em>. Ele foi convidado pelo escritor <strong><em>Brian Azzarello</em></strong> - escritor de <em><strong>Hellblazer</strong></em> por um longo período &#8211; para produzir uma histórias de oito páginas. É o primeiro trabalho de <em>Grampá</em> para uma grande editora nos EUA.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Parece que vem coisa boa por aí&#8230;</p>

<p>Estou contando os dias para pegar na <em>Mesmo Delivery</em>, hq do <strong>Rafael Grampá</strong> que já foi lançada nos EUA. O cara ficou em primeiro lugar na <a href="http://www.revistaogrito.com/page/10/06/2008/panorama-2009-25-apostas/">lista de apostas</a> do O Grito! este ano. Não conseguimos uma entrevista com o cara, mas pelo visto acertamos em cheio.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignleft" src="http://g1.globo.com/Noticias/Quadrinhos/foto/0,,15164625-EX,00.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="187" />A premiação foi em San Diego, a Comic Con – na maior convenção de cultura pop dos Estados Unidos, que concentra em um só lugar alguns dos maiores lançamentos em quadrinhos, cinema, seriados de TV, videogame e afins.</p>
<p>Entre muitas fantasias de “Guerra nas estrelas” e super heróis, novidades quentes como a adaptação para as telonas da criação &#8220;The Spirit&#8221; de Will Eisner pelo diretor e também quadrinista Frank Miller, a animação &#8220;Hulk Vs. Wolverine&#8221;, os heróis e vilões da Marvel , DC Comics, entre outras</p>
<p>Artistas brasileiros nunca haviam sido premiados no Eisner Awards, o Oscar das histórias em quadrinhos. Isso até a noite de anteontem, quando Rafael Grampá, Fábio Moon e Gabriel Bá receberam troféus em três categorias em San Diego, nos Estados Unidos.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.cidadeverde.com/noticias/editor/assets/img8/fl/quadrinhooscar1.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="220" />O gaúcho Grampá e os gêmeos paulistas Moon e Bá foram premiados, juntos, por &#8220;5&#8243;, HQ vencedora na categoria de melhor antologia.<br />
O grego Vasilis Lolos e Becky Cloonan, nascida na Itália e radicada nos EUA, também participaram de &#8220;5&#8243; e subiram ao palco com os brasileiros. &#8220;Gritamos e fizemos a maior festa, mas queria ter sambado no palco&#8221;, contou Grampá, 30.<br />
Bá e Moon ainda concorriam cada um em outra categoria e venceram. Bá é o artista de &#8220;The Umbrella Academy&#8221;, ganhadora como série limitada. Minissérie em seis edições, ela foi escrita por Gerard Way, vocalista da banda norte-americana My Chemical Romance.<br />
Moon recebeu o prêmio de melhor HQ digital pelas ilustrações de &#8220;Sugarshock!&#8221;, escrita por Joss Whedon, roteirista do seriado &#8220;Buffy&#8221;.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p class="western">Os quadrinistas gêmeos Fábio Moon e Gabriel Bá, junto com Rafael Grampá foram os grandes premiados no <a href="http://g1.globo.com/Noticias/Quadrinhos/0,,MUL701940-9662,00.html">Eisner Awards</a>. O prêmio é considerado o Oscar do HQ, não que isso seja uma coisa boa, mas da visibilidade ao trabalho realizado sobre duras condições, aqui, no Brasil.</p>
<p class="western">Digo isso, pois infelizmente no Brasil atividades artísticas como o HQ não tem o devido reconhecimento e muito menos mercado. Acompanho o trabalho dos irmãos faz um tempinho, desde 2003. Admito que nunca fui fã da HQ <a href="http://www2.uol.com.br/10paezinhos/">10 Pãezinhos</a>, mas respeito o trabalho realizado. Em relação a Rafael Grampá tenho muita admiração e estou ansioso para a versão cinematográfica do HQ O Dobro de Cinco do <a href="http://www.devir.com.br/mutarelli/">Lourenço Mutarelli</a>.</p>
<p class="western">Tomará que esse prêmio ajude o HQ nacional, dando assim visibilidade aos artistas daqui e que com isso seja possível se criar uma estilo próprio, bem como um mercado próprio, no Brasil. E pra quem quiser tentar a sorte, aviso que <a href="https://www.fnac.com.br/premiofnacnovostalentos/principal.html">a FNAC está com um concurso para novos talentos no HQ</a>. O qual terá como banca os irmãos gêmeos do HQ nacional.</p>
<p class="western"><strong>Info: <a href="http://10paezinhos.blog.uol.com.br/">10 Pãezinhos</a> e <a href="http://furrywater.wordpress.com/">Rafael Grampá</a>.</strong></p>
