The thousand stories of Julia

Julia 149 - The hands of fate. Cover: Money Mark

I mention this only now, after a year of opening the blog: I realized that it did not even have a post dedicated to Julia, one of my favorite comics, written by Giancarlo Berardi and published by Sergio Bonelli Editore . Yet it is a book that takes me by now since October 1998 when the author's publisher Ken Parker returned from Milan with a new character. I mention this now because the number came out on newsstands in February, entitled The hands of fate , is a small masterpiece.
It 's a kind of history in which Berardi a master, and that I admired so many times reading the saga of Long Rifle. This is one of those stories where the protagonist is the character which is dedicated to the series, but appear on the scene of a group of people which tells a piece of life. In other words it is a choral history, where Julia is one among many. Berardi reveals the stories of ordinary people dosing with balance and rhythm to the space devoted to each of them. There is a soundtrack, as often happens in the stories of Julia, as a backdrop to the events of the common people: in this case is that of a small town radio station on which the radios are tuned to the environments in which players move . There is a morning rainy like many others, in a city like many others. There's the people who go to work by subway, bus strike there, the blocked traffic. Scenes of everyday urban life. The fates intersect tragically in a post office, another very common public place, in which the protagonists are elbow to elbow to make the queue at the desk or in the offices behind them.

There is also space for a lecture at the university in which Julia, exposing differences between Freud and Jung, we take this opportunity to explain to his students what are the tools that a criminologist uses in its investigations, as profile analysis of psychological and environmental context.
"Symbols, dreams, libido, unconscious. This is the universe of those who kill, which leads to the extreme what is inside us ..."
These words spoken by Julia is the key and core of the entire series. Berardi, through his character, speaks of the uneasiness that pervades the men and women living in contemporary society. That mental illness that leads some among us to make criminal acts which cause injury, damage and death others. The dark side in everyone of us are told without moralizing: Julia he meets along the way of monsters and madmen, often as the chronicles are quick to define the perpetrators of heinous acts meccansimo more for a psychological defense for real analysis of the facts. Julia deals with people who act for many reasons so awful and tries to put them to face their responsibilities. And this happens even in the post office in Garden City, where Julia comes face to face with a woman who hates herself much more of his victims.
Assisted in the screenplay by Lorenzo Calza and trust for the excellent drawings Claudio Small , Giancarlo Berardi gives us a little gioiello a fumetti. L'aspetto straordinario è che non è un fatto isolato: Julia è l'esempio di come un fumetto seriale possa raggiungere degli standard elevati di qualità pur sottostando all'incombenza temporale dell'uscita mensile. Come ha fatto con Ken, anche con Julia Berardi riesce a raccontare delle storie in cui prevale l'umanità dei personaggi, e lo fa con quella sensibilità, cura e attenzione che i suoi lettori gli riconoscono ormai da molti anni. L'aspetto però che più rincuora, come testimoniano le lettere pubblicate nella rubrica della posta Il Diario di Julia , è vedere come sempre nuovi e giovani lettori vengano conquistati dal personaggio. E questa è senz'altro un'ottima notizia.
