Title: I'm very proud of it! Post by: Genis Vell on May 13, 2005, 01:08:17 PM Look at this cover:
(http://img134.echo.cx/img134/8075/copertinavanagolli9ux.jpg) It's the new Superman Italian Guide, printed yesterday. It features... - Superman's complete history until 2003. - Authors' bios. - Characters' bios. - An interview with John Byrne. - Complete history of Italian editions. And I'm its author. It's a great moment to me, so I hope that this topic isn't a problem for you (someone could consider it a commercial advertisement). In Italy Superman is regularly published since 1954, but there aren't so many guides for readers, so I'm very proud of my work! (Note: Actually, this is a wrong cover: the real title is "65 anni pił veloci di un proiettile", not "pił veloce"; it means "65 years faster than a speeding bullet". Obviously, the book has been printed with the right cover!). (2nd note: the Italian publisher of DC Comics, Play PRess Publishing, is now presenting the stories released in 2003, so I decided to conclude the part about Superman's history with SUPERMAN 200 or Italian readers could find too many spoilers).

Title: Re: I'm very proud of it! Post by: Genis Vell on May 23, 2005, 05:55:51 AM Saturday I have presented my book in two comic shops.
Talkin' about pre-Crisis Superman to an audience and signing copies of my book has been really great. I'll never forget these moments! Title: Re: I'm very proud of it! Post by: Gernot on May 25, 2005, 07:23:37 AM Is this book going to see an English printing? I'd be interested in getting a copy, as I'm sure others here would.
I don't speak or read Italian, or I'd go after a copy now! ;) Gernot... Title: Re: I'm very proud of it!

I know only the one written by Beatty a few years ago (there is an Italian edition, too). Title: Re: I'm very proud of it!

Well, there is Supermanica! :D Actually there are a few, but I've heard that they aren't very complete and they don't show Siegel and Shuster in a positive light. Title: Re: I'm very proud of it!

Can you tell me more, please? Title: Re: I'm very proud of it!
