Content:

The workshop aims to reflect on comics and their creation, through theoretical lectures and practical writing exercises, with the final intent of producing subjects for the script of a comic book short story. The first lesson will be introductory and will analyze not only the "grammar" of comics but also the history of the medium. The central lecture will focus on horror and the representation of the different, the "monster," within the ninth art. Horror is catharsis, perhaps even before it is panic, and is a mechanism of resistance against itself, an invitation to empathy and knowledge. The last class will, however, be devoted to a writing workshop for the creation of a horror subject. The completed works will be evaluated by BUGS publishing house director Gianmarco Fumasoli and eventually selected for publication
