Guido Buzzelli Alexis Kostandi

Guido Buzzelli (1927–1992) was an Italian comics artist and painter. Son of painters, he debuted in comics at 18, worked in painting and illustration, then returned to comics from the mid-1960s until his death in 1992.

Collaborated with screenwriter Alexis Kostandi on the work HP (mentioned in the review). HP is discussed as originally from 1973 in the review and described as multi-awarded in France and internationally. Buzzelli's style is noted for bold, direct pen-and-ink work and a visionary, psychoanalytic approach to narrative.

The available review praises Guido Buzzelli as a major, innovative voice in Italian comics, highlighting HP (with Alexis Kostandi) as a visionary, still-relevant dystopian work. The review emphasizes Buzzelli's bold, direct drawing technique and echoes of Lovecraft and Orwell. Recommended for readers of experimental and politically charged graphic narrative.

For:Readers of dystopian and experimental comics, fans of Italian graphic narrative and Lovecraftian/Orwellian themes.
