What Does It Mean When You Wake Up Dizzy

Ren Studio presents: Ophelia, Julius Macaione


Giulio Macaione è un autore che non dovrebbe aver bisogno di presentazioni. Catanese di nascita e bolognese per adozione, avendovi frequentato l’Accademia di Belle Arti, si è fatto notare per le sue esperienze con la Kappa Edizioni, soprattutto disegnando le graphic novel sceneggiate da Massimiliano De Giovanni, The Fag Hag e il suo recente seguito, Falling in love in Milan . Today
Giulio Macaione presents all his work: Ofelia through the new experience of Ren Studio , the attentive service by Nino Giordano and Fabio Freddi, designed to provide advice and editorial graphics (already has many collaborations with Catch-22, GP Ronin Publishing and Manga) and evolved into the project Ren Comics , dedicated to the care and presentation of works designed for the web comic. Comics, in fact, can be read online with a practical system that allows you to browse the boards like a real paper roll.

Just for the project Ren Comics, debuted Ophelia, the heroine of "casual" and surreal Giulio Macaione, with a short story that already contains the seeds of an intriguing series, and features a delicacy of tone and style not quite frequent in Italian contemporary comics. The world of Ofelia, a girl from the flowing hair fuchsia, is bewitched and vaguely pop. Warmed by the colorful magic and light that might arise from the imagination of a child. Ophelia is talking to his shadow, a veritable extension of his conscience and to have it ready in a row, and with her cat, which is also equipped with a speaker and mimetic power which makes him change color continuously. The grandmother's house where he lives Ophelia Gay with his cousin, Bear, and his companion, should be seen as another character in the saga. The grandmother, author of novels for children, was called by almost sorceress, and his expressed desire for a room, after his death, has remained sealed. Even Ophelia and his friends, including the annoying boyfriend Oscar, ignore what lies behind the door for so many years, but it seems that someone - come from the outside - he knows something and is very interested ...


Ophelia is a mystery story where the more mature readers will rediscover some element of care in a family atmosphere Nidasio Grace, saturated with bright colors and gentle irony, but in a context where the surreal and enigmatic ingredient gradually prevails (although we are talking about a very short history designed for the web) and leaves the reader eager to continue to follow the plot. For Ren Studio , but especially for Giulio Macaione, Ophelia is a pleasant business card, which suggests that he was thought well before being professionally packed. A nice surprise that we greet with pleasure, I wish you and Giulio Macaione Ren Studio to continue on this promising path.
