I am Gonzo is a book on Italian erotic-porn comics. Gonzo is the immersive and amateur technique chosen by the authors to collect, analyze and look at erotic-porn comics, a poor and modest form of publication, with sensual papery aesthetcis and a high rate of collectability. Gonzo (dupe) is also a person, the amateur porn addict, usually male (porno-man, homo heroticus), who collects and consumes these enjoyable objects with an animal-like, almost wild atittude. This book attempts to describe a fragmented panorama; it is not about the estabilshed art comics, but about the ‘gonzo’ comics of the reader-lover, who owns and consumes the object and its ‘covetous authorship’, and keeps the issues hidden among more scholarly books.
The book brings together a visual selection of comics (published between the 1960s and the 2000s) essays, the exhibition displays that contributed to the development of the research over the course of three years, and a final list of all the comics collected for the research.
