(2005) Format: Softcover, Dustjacket A high-rise apartment building in an unnamed European city. Its inhabitants come and go, meet each other, talk, dream, regret, hope... in short, live. A ghostly, shape-shifting anthropomorphic white rabbit roams from apartment to apartment, surveying and keeping track of all this humanity... and at the end of every night, he floats down to the basement where he delivers his report to the "great dark one." Lushly delineated in penciled sepia halftones, this debut "Ignatz" by Gabriella Giandelli offers a hauntingly unique vision and a tantalizingly open-ended beginning to an ongoing series. | ||

(2006) Format: Softcover, Dustjacket There's few days left until Christmas. The characters from the apartment complex introduced in the first issue continue to casually cross and meet, as the ghostly rabbit follows and observes them, reporting back to his shadowy master in the basement. Chiara goes to work and Marco spies on her with his binoculars. Nico plays at home, while his mother, Giulia, chats and smokes with her friends. Lorenzo steals his mother's earrings to buy some dope and get high. The children of the ghost family play in the garden. Meanwhile Angela, the old woman, is excited at her new project: She sends Irina to the library to pick up some book about hallucinatory mushrooms and peyote. She repeatedly phones her nephew, a research worker living and working in the USA. She has plans involving the rabbit and his master. Is it possible to somehow guide the hallucinations?... | ||
