Cosa succede a una dea quando si rende conto che gli umani si stanno preparando a dimenticarla? Esistono persone che dicono di Bedelia: «Non è il mio tipo». Sono i bugiardi. Bedelia è una dea. Bedelia è sui cartelloni di tutta la città. Bedelia ha i giorni contati: Segreti, la marca di lingerie di cui è testimonial da anni, la sta per sostituire. Cosa succede a una dea quando si rende conto che gli umani si stanno preparando a dimenticarla? Leo Ortolani ha preso un personaggio secondario della sua storica saga di Venerdì 12 e ha risposto, senza scrupoli, senza mezzi termini, a questa domanda. Per la quarta di copertina ha scelto parole lette le quali non potrete dire di non essere stati avvertiti: «Vi innamorerete di una stronza».
Author
Leonardo Ortolani, better known as Leo, is an Italian comics author, creator of the popular comic strip series Rat-Man and Venerdì 12. From an early age, Ortolani showed a great passion for the world of comic books, and in particular The Fantastic Four by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee, which will affect its style of narrative. After finishing high school, he enrolled at 'DSU[disambiguation needed], the faculty of Geology, another experience that marked him deeply. While at university, Ortolani draws his characters first, and the theme of geology became a catchphrase of the first issues of his major work, Rat-Man. In 1989 endured the publishing house Comic Art two stories: the tragic and the other comic. The publisher Rinaldo Traini published the comic story on the second Spot (supplement of Eternauta dedicated to beginners), marking the Birth of Rat-Man. The shocking origins of Rat-Man earned him an Ortolani the award for best newcomer to the writer Lucca Comics of 1990. With visibility gained, Leo began to collaborate with magazines and fanzine independent. For the fanzineMade in USA created two more stories starring Rat-Man ( Topin! The Wonder Mouse! And From the Future) and several parodies of superheroes (including X-Men, Fantastic Four and Superman). The most important works of this cycle are the four stories about Fantastic Four, as an ideal continuation (parodied) the work of Jack Kirby. Kirby stopped drawing Fantastic Four with the number 102: Ortolani realized the numbers 103-106, completely upsetting the group. Called to military service in 'Air Force, Ortolani drew inspiration from life in the barracks gathering their experiences in a detailed diary that became the initial starting point for The last rookie, a series strips on military life (the same as the protagonist Ortolani) which were then published as an appendix to Storm Trooper. During this period, Ortolani also collaborated in Starcomìx humor magazine directed by Luca Boschi and published by Star Comics in Totem Comic and Totem Extra, where he made The impervious, Clan, The wonder of nature and The wonders of technology. In this period he also strips the series Those of Parma, published in the Gazzetta di Parma, speaking of the city of Parma and its inhabitants, a selection of which was collected in the volume Editions Bands Dessinée. The short stories of the series of Wonderland were then taken years later, collected in three volumes by Panini Comics.
