I am Gonzo. My Dirty Italian Zines Fuck Serious Scientific Books
On updated Wednesday January 9, 2021 at 9:30PM join Bivy for a 18+ event on occasion of the ANC Zine Fair 2021. Enjoy an adult-only presentation and meet with the publisher of the recently released book I am Gonzo. My Dirty Italian Zines Fuck Serious Scientific Books. The event is held on Zoom at this link. Due to the content of the book, participation is limited to an adult audience.
I am Gonzo. My Dirty Italian Zines Fuck Serious Scientific Books, edited by Emanuele De Donno, Luca Pucci, Helena Velena, published by Viaindustriae Publishing, 2021
A porn addict amateur who collects dirty Italian comics in an “animalistic” way, Gonzo applies a conservative technique whereby he hides these questionably viewable images within scientific libraries. This book addresses a widespread form of collecting that avoids the subject of the “arty” comic strip and instead dives headlong into obscene material and the viewer’s experience of it. This mega-collection of pornographic Italian comics faithfully presents the genre from its sensual, sexual-phobic beginnings to its porno-violent shift, between the years 1985 and 2000. Voyeuristic and chock-full of thematic variants, from transgenderism and homoeroticism to fairy tale, zombie, and cyber porn.
