Description

Pagina originale per la storia "Ammiraglio a riposo" pubblicata sul Giornalino dei Ragazzi, serie Storie d�oro e di frontiera, testi di Toppi, 12 tavole (n� 22, 1983).

Original page for the story "Admiral at Rest" published in the Giornalino dei Ragazzi, Storie d'oro e di frontiera series, text by Toppi, 12 plates (No. 22, 1983).

Sergio Toppi (11 October 1932 - 21 August 2012, Italy) was a remarkable Milanese comic artist and illustrator. He began his career making illustrations for the collection 'Enciclopedia dei Ragazzi' by the publishing firm UTET, as well as a series of animated advertising films. He made his first comics for Il Corriere dei Piccoli from 1966.
Toppi began his longtime collaboration with Il Giornalino in 1976. He illustrated religious stories and a great many one shot comics.
One of Toppi's most remarkable comics is 'Sharaz'de', his comics version of the Arabian Nights. It was originally serialized in Alter Alter in 1979, and later also published in France (Mosquito) and Spain (Planeta DeAgostini). It was in this comic that Toppi played greatly with the graphic design of the page, focusing on the composition of the borders and backgrounds and not too much on the narrative. Although largely in black-and-white, it also features some of Toppi's experiments with direct colors.

The Toppi linework is world class. This is the look that influenced how lots of western and horror comics in storytelling from the 70's on.
