Jesse Jacobs-E così conoscerai l’universo e gli dei

Non so da dove iniziare, forse così aiuta: Questo fumetto è come un episodio di Adventure Time scritto da Alejandro Jodorowsky.

Scorrete il carosello, la didascalia cambia e continuo il post 👉🏻

Siamo sempre stati abituati a immaginare il divino come qualcosa di stoico, perfetto, infallibile, portatore di una legge morale superiore. Ma cosa succede se a creare l’universo non è stato l’amore sconfinato, bensì il puro egoismo di entità insicure e volubili, insomma... umane?

In “E così conoscerai l’universo e gli dei” di Jesse Jacobs (edito da Eris Edizioni), il mito della creazione del cosmo e dell'universo viene del tutto riscritto in un'ottica più umana. Dimentichiamoci dei saggi architetti dell'esistenza, scopriamo entità vanitose e capricciose come studenti in perenne competizione tra loro. Il loro unico vero scopo? Plasmare la materia e far prevalere le proprie creature per primeggiare e compiacere il loro maestro Shluk, cercando un'approvazione superiore per alimentare il proprio ego.

Le tre entità sono ben distinte con caratteri diversi. Il genuino Ablavar utilizza il poco nobile silicio come base delle sue creazioni e, nel suo progetto iniziale, crea prima i dinosauri (per poi estinguerli e sostituirli) e poi dà vita agli altri animali sulla Terra. Il geloso Zantek (che utilizza il nobile carbonio) sabota la creazione di Ablaver instillando violenza e gelosia: nasce così l'essere umano, come un virus che infetta la creazione.

Interessante il parallelismo tra umano e divino che risultano indistinguibili (se non per capacità ultraterrene): invidiano, sperimentano, scoprono, amano e odiano, infettano le creazione dei compagni per primeggiare; questi comportamenti si riflettono nel seme dell'umanità che finirà nell'evolversi in guerra e autodistruzione.

A rendere questa lettura un'esperienza visiva unica è il contrasto dello stile di disegno e della colorazione: architetture geometriche che si scompongono e ricompongono ordinatamente si contrappongono al disordine visivo e deformato degli esseri viventi. Il risultato è un mix ipnotico alla Escher colorato lisergicamente con tinte fredde: azzurro, lavanda e blu notte.

Mi è piaciuto molto, sono rimasto

As a longtime superfan of Canadian cartoonist @jacobs_comics, I was thrilled to see that he would be featured in the @banzai.editions Legend Collection. Each month, the collection spotlights a single artist with 32 full-colour pages of their work. And it comes with a poster! I have added it to my ever growing collection!

Jacobs strikes a perfect balance between horror and humour. His comics are wildly stylistic. I swear I can almost taste the colours.

Beneath all that visual candy is some seriously sharp social commentary. Jacobs takes on subjects such as the housing crisis, hunting tourism, and climate change. Turning complicated issues into strange unsettling worlds.

T Musi Es (2021 / 2025)

The magician takes centre stage and tries to bring things together. He dispenses medicine and spices in a figurative sense. He rambles on about colours, ‘delicious’ and flavour. Beneath him, a small door opens, through which a red sky casts a red shadow. IX. The magician tries to juggle the elements and hypnotise. Perhaps he’s simply had a knock on the head. What is hiding there ?? What is his assistant marvelling at ? Who is falling ? What has been ingested ? Where is the town ? Who are the fruits for ?
First for the two-headed rodent, and then for YOU !!!

Der Zauberer nimmt die Mitte ein und versucht zu verbinden. Er gibt Medizin und Gewürze im übertragenen Sinne. Er faselt von Farben und "Lecker" und Geschmack. Unter ihm geht eine kleine Tür auf, durch die ein roter Himmel einen roten Schatten wirft. IX. Der Zauberer versucht mit den Elementen zu jonglieren und zu hypnotisieren. Vielleicht hat er auch einfach nur eins auf die Mütze bekommen. Was hält sich versteckt ?? Worüber staunt sein Assistent ? Wer fällt ? Was wurde eingenommen ? Wo liegt die Stadt ? Für wen sind die Früchte ?
Am Anfang für das doppelköpfige Nagetier und dann für Dich !!! ⭐⭐
