Impeesa - the great adventure of Baden Powell
A year from now, I realized that I had not yet bought the balloon Impeesa - the great adventure of Baden Powell, published by Lizard on the occasion of the centenary of scouting. I knew only that the text was prepared by Paul Fizzarotti (director of the magazine) and we had the good fortune to meet with the favor colloborazione and the great designer Ivo Milazzo.
Then I decide to buy comics, the Feltrinelli not, but I ordered without problems and in 5 days is in my hands. I must admit that at first glance, I was a little 'disappointed format (but is simply a matter of taste), I was not discouraged and I continued my investigation exterior el'odore paper did not leave more room for doubt It would have been a pleasant reading.
In fact, not an avid comic book, I 'tasted' something, even quite different genres, but is not the kind of reading I prefer, but I appreciated very much Impeesa: have been designs, so even for rich detail perfectly watercolors , Has been the story narrated (single, tiny, is perhaps the neo screenplay, in some moments a little 'too' spoken 'that seems almost to want to impose a pause all'incenssante scroll images that at times seem to live), will be the transparency of intentions ol'intelligenza project ...
The starting point is the narrative story of our founder to an unknown friend (at the end we discover who he is, but I can not tell you everything I mica!) Events which have helped shape the idea that changed the destinies of millions of boys and girls worldwide. So it is not just the reconstruction of the life of Baden Powell before 1908, but it is a path in search of tracks that, together, build the long path towards the scaut ...
And so, through the narration of various stories, we come to discover that many of noiosissime recommendations made by the heads generally come directly from the mother of BP, such as walking a few clothes and have the shirt on hand to immediately put him to avoid the cold sweat upon us and make us ill.
Following the story of Sir Robert around the world discover some of the deepest values of Scouting, as the importance of dialogue and cooperation among peoples, with the choice as the best way to transmit knowledge and to earn trust, the ability that it can take action when necessary without having to always wait for orders.
Finally, I really liked! Bello the final result as laudable initiative. The centenary, the best circumstance to open the scaut the world, to present to society and perhaps take the opportunity to Take off some 'of clichés and jokes. Surely this balloon will be able to do so, provided that can be read by someone who is not scaut! Deserve, in fact, much more disclosure outside the movement, from our brothers dell'AGESCI are many with whom I spoke who had never heard anything about this beautiful balloon.
Hope to very soon enjoy this pleasant reading, I salute you!

Impeesa: Baden Powell, who adventure! (comic)
Baden Powell a century ago founded the Scouts, and know more or less everyone. But you know what the true story of BP before they decide to leave the military career to devote himself solely to scouting? Perhaps even imagine that our elderly man with a mustache, who smiles from countless drawings and photographs, was once a young strong and vigorous. But did you know, for example, who made the secret agent? What was he to lead the way in the African jungle to defeat the Ashanti, a population that was human sacrifices? What was the last English to leave Kandahar, Afghanistan? (vabbè, then we have returned). What has turned the entire world of espionage between missions and military campaigns?
Did you know that guy from BP's name was not yet Baden-Powell, but Powell Robert Smyth, and had a lot of brothers and sisters? Our BP Maluccio went to school but knew sbrogliarsela in every situation with the inventive and always with a smile. And when he made the case for almost a competition to enter the army as an officer, was so good that top military subsidies the years of training and sent directly to India as lieutenant.
BP was a great draw, and he knew painting a picture simultaneously with both hands.
Nobody reads like him and knew travestirsi in a few minutes so that nobody could recognize him. It was he who invented the South African police and the army to teach English as you do reconnaissance and as we read the tracks. And how did you know about Olave, the girl who would later become his wife? BP has had an adventurous life so as to appear incredible. The CNGEI to celebrate the centenary of World Scouting, decided to do something special: a comic book on BP.
The book, which is titled Impeesa, was released at the end of June 2007. The screenplay, namely the story, is Fizzarotti Paul, the director of "Scouting" (the magazine of the association CNGEI). The drawings are by Ivo Milazzo, one of the greatest masters of the comic world is he, for example, the inventor of Ken Parker, one of the most popular in western Canada.
What does "Impeesa"? But it is easy: "The animal that never sleeps, but it bypasses the night." It was the nickname by which the Zulu call Baden Powell. When? To know just read the book!

I have seen too. At my age ... Green! Seventy played!
I liked very much and I regret that many do not know what we are talking about.
It is, as you say, certainly a problem of information.
But it is mainly the disease from which we are afflicted everyone: rapidly consume (when we have the drive and desire) and often do not consume without observe and understand, observe a po 'better than we close (under the nose) without question because the and have determined that the spill could have and did not. Pressapochismo individualism and a whole beer! Iconoclasm ruling of what is not known.
As scouts, as educational movements that we have invoked the fundamentals better tailored to the needs of today intangible.

It 'a work that lacked both in the comics scene is among the titles dedicated to Scouting.
Truly a great idea that has also met the favor of critics and won several awards, surely one of the most beautiful of the centennial.

Impeesa I really liked! I'm not a good intenditrice comic but a house of my running it "very" because my father, great technical designer, until the end of his days (2004-89) was an avid reader and certainly if he would be devoured!
Beautiful graphics, importatissimo the message that may disclose outside the movement, in this world often sick of leadership and irresponsibility; as SENIOR should do more to spread Impeesa so that it can reach more children and adults especially not Scouts. I think it is an excellent educational vehicle, definitely "leave this world a little better (much better) of how we found".

Simply fantastic, a great comic quality, which designs and colors tell fantastic landscapes in which the slide perhaps least known of the history of the founder of scouting. A small masterpiece that I can not miss in the library of a scout.

Fantastic. A bubble of high quality, that through the colors and designs tells of the fantastic landscapes where it is held perhaps the least known of life of the founder of scouting. I think a book that can not miss in the library of a scout.

I met Paul Fizzarotti departure for the Jamboree 2007 and on that occasion I had in our hands the English version of the work. At Christmas 2007 I received a version in English.
A wonderful book, essential in the story as the drawings, but full of feelings and ideas. It will be for personal passion for comics! I hope to know soon Ivo Milazzo and to meet again Paul.

I read comics will be well when I was 4 years and a half and I have not stopped,
that is still read by a Mickey Mouse race with my son of 9 years for the law before,
will be that I am convinced that the bubble is a narrative language for all ages that has nothing to envy to a classic book on writing,
will that have entered the world scout from a few years,
but the advice I can give you, scout or not, and take half an hour of time picking up this volume, open it carefully and immerse yourself in the reading of baloons, catapulted over the beautiful designs watercolors can also send sounds and smells Since started to read no longer able to stop until the word END.

A boy who learns the world of comics I appreciated very much, while reading, the jump in time in which BP says an episode of his life happened long before.
In addition, I really enjoyed the design to watercolor because in this world, where almost all comics are drawn to the computer, I got to know and appreciate this kind of technique is now little used.
Read it, and I assure you that surprise you too!

I had the opportunity to read very carefully because this cartoon was part of the program del'esame History Professor of Comparative Education. Barbieri. For me it was beautiful, after several years of my exit from the scout, rediscover the spirit as a scout can be lived in any environment!
Thank you.

Comics beautiful, beautiful history. A big dream: starting the war and you come to create a global movement of brotherhood, service and peace.
