The Magnificent Adventure -- Milo Manara, Paperback

Young Giuseppe Bergman, thirsting for escape from the banal, soul-crushing boredom of his everyday life, answers a mysterious ad offering the adventure of a lifetime. But before he even gets a chance to understand what that means, he's swept up in a headlong rush of outrageously convoluted danger and fast-paced action -- for which he is absolutely unprepared -- all at the behest of the enigmatic "H.P." and an unseen television audience.

Artist/writer/creator Milo Manara skewers adventure comics, "reality" TV, and narrative convention itself in this absurdist, sophisticated satire that launches the innocent Giuseppe into the first of many adventures to come. The Magnificent Adventure, complete in one volume.
