Charles Bukowski - Matthias Schultheiss

Writer

Charles Bukowski (1920–1994) was an American poet, novelist and short story writer. Matthias Schultheiss is a German comics artist who adapted Bukowski's stories into comics.

This edition (Coniglio Edizioni, 2005) collects a comic adaptation by Matthias Schultheiss of six Bukowski stories (originally reinterpreted by Schultheiss in 1982). The review notes dense, gritty linework, a coherent decadent atmosphere, and some imperfect printing on rough paper.

A single-review appreciation of a comic adaptation of Bukowski's stories illustrated by Matthias Schultheiss. The reviewer praises Schultheiss's dense, gritty linework and the faithful, decadent atmosphere. Notes minor technical printing flaws but overall recommends the book. The copy was found at a flea market for €5.

For:Readers interested in literary adaptations, adult comics, Charles Bukowski fans, and collectors of graphic novels.

 It wasn't the famous book "Tales of Ordinary Madness" by the old poet-drunkard Charles Bukowski, but a comic book adaptation by the equally great Matthias Schultheiss (one of the greatest contemporary comic artists, in Italy known only among genre enthusiasts).
