Original comic art made by Pazienza for his first work "The extraordinary adventures of Pentothal" (page 33) published for the first time in the magazine Alter Alter in 1977. "The extraordinary adventures of Pentothal", a work made by Pazienza at just 21 years old , is the detailed diary of the dreams, illusions and contradictions of its author and of an entire generation, that of Bologna in 1977. The language is a riot of slang, onomatopoeia, neologisms and ungrammatical terms. The graphic trait is a happy expressive anarchy between suggestions of Pop art and airy hatchings on the Moebius model. Signed.
