«For Buzzelli, the comic was like” a theater of paper and ink, pocket and library, where the actors are motionless, waiting for someone to leaf through the pages to come to life “. His mission as an artist was to animate the images traced on white paper by representing characters who, like living beings, manifest all human emotions. In his drawn literature, as stated by Silvano Mezzavilla,
“not only did he put his huge technical baggage at the service of storytelling through images, but he went deep into the material to be narrated, fathoming the abysses of the unconscious so as to touch places of the soul that no cartoonist before him had described it. ”
The themes expressed in his fantastic tales are timeless and therefore still current, despite the fact that they are now fifty years old.
The imaginary world of monsters, which according to Georges Wolinski populated the nightmares made by the author for fear of waking up one morning and no longer having his appearance, is the same that we find represented in his tables. Buzzelli, like a modern Doctor Jekyll, designed these subjects as an antidote, to be sure of returning to being himself at every awakening.
A deep pessimism prevails in his comics and hidden anxieties emerge. It does not offer readers the hope of a happy ending and does not delude anyone about the hope that the way will be better; his graphic novels do not console and above all do not give answers.
On the contrary, his art, both in the form of comic strips and paintings, only gives us questions.»
