A friend, a brother, a DJ. The soul of Bologna, the most rock and glam one. This year Mauro Mazzoli, aka “il Boyler”, would have turned 50. The solidarity Fumetto Card #41 solidarity is dedicated to Boyler and the person who designed it could only be the one who probably designed all the greats of hard rock and metal, Enzo Rizzi, author of the iconic character of the “Heavy Bone” movement and the his great comic stories between distorted guitars.
Boyler is missed in Bologna and all those who loved him are missed, we are talking about thousands of people because Mauro made himself loved. The Boyler Fest, now in its second edition this year, after the resounding success of the first, is organized in his memory.
Appointment for everyone on Saturday 23 September at CLIQUE (ex Giostrà) in Bologna with bands, DJs, friends, workmates, various misfits in short (just kidding… he would have liked it) who renew the sexual date (the luckiest ones) , beer and rock n roll.
For everyone else, the solidarity card is available at Figurine Forever as always. First edition numbered edition of 250 copies. 50 like, in 2023, the age that the Boyler would be, 2 like the horns symbol of hard rock (moving the card reveals the photo on the postcard) but also like the second edition of this festival which starts from the heart, from which it starts of all of us where Boyler will always find a place.
Thanks to Max, Ilaria and the entire Mazzoli family for having responded enthusiastically to our proposal, thanks to Enzo Rizzi and his Heavy Bone for making it a reality.
BOYLER FOREVER!

Fumetto Forever Card #40: DON PINO PUGLISI
The life of Blessed Don Pino Puglisi, a priest killed on 15 September 1993 by the mafia in Palermo, in the Brancaccio district where he worked, and whose death marks the thirtieth anniversary, tells a great story, that of a man capable of listening and with dialogue not only to oppose the criminal power of Cosa Nostra but to worry, worry and frighten the mafia leaders.
Don Pino, renamed by the people of Palermo 3P – Father Pino Puglisi – listened with his ears and his heart to the needs of the poor people, tried to combat school dropout by establishing after-school and evening courses, took away laborers from the mafia by offering new horizons to the children of the neighborhood, new alternative ways to delinquency and to the culture written by Cosa Nostra, interwoven with silence, intimidation, violence and illegality.
The Gospel and the prayer of the Our Father were the coordinates on which the whole life and social work of Don Pino moved, a work that led on 16 July 1991 to the birth, by will of the Blessed, of the Reception Center Our Father, the living and beating heart of Don Pino’s modus vivendi in Brancaccio, a place of social recovery thanks to which wonderful realities were born: day centers for the elderly, anti-violence centers for women, holiday homes for school camps for teenagers, youth social centers and social reintegration projects dedicated to prisoners (http://centropadrenostro.it/).
During the papacy of Benedict XVI, on 25 May 2013 Don Pino was proclaimed Blessed. He is the first mafia martyr killed in odium fidei.
His work, carried out by those who are now part of the Padre Nostro Center, continues thirty years later with wonderful projects to support and learn about. Take a look at the Center’s website and you will be amazed.
The solidarity Fumetto Card #40, designed by Riccardo Pagani and freely taken from the graphic novel “Don Puglisi” (Renoir Comics, 2021), designed by the same and written by Marco Sonseri, wants to remember one of the most significant moments of the proposals made by the Blessed Puglisi: our life is a road. Where do we want to go? What is our goal? An existential question that we are all required to answer.
Viva Don Pino Puglisi. Viva 3P.
The solidarity card is created in collaboration with the Padre Nostro Reception Center of Brancaccio, the first edition printed in 1993 numbered copies is distributed in Palermo on the days of the initiatives surrounding the anniversary. A second edition has already been printed which continues the numbering of the first.

Fumetto Forever Card #39: SALVADOR ALLENDE & VICTOR JARA
Viva Chile! The solidarity Fumetto Card series is enriched with a new important and very symbolic image, 50 years after the “golpe” in Chile, Comic Card #39 is dedicated to President Salvador Allende and the musician Victor Jara, both of whom died in those early days of the beginning of the Pinochet dictatorship, which will continue for 17 very long years.
Salvador Allende became President of Chile on September 4, 1970, democratically elected with 36% of the votes and at the head of a left-wing coalition. On 11 September 1973, the government was overthrown in a coup. Allende will die on the same day of the golpe, during the attack on the presidential palace, his last speech on the radio is unforgettable: “.. I have faith in Chile and its destiny. Other men will overcome this gray and bitter moment in which betrayal claims to impose itself.. the great avenues for which the free man will pass will open again, to build a better society. Long live Chile! Long live the people! Long live the workers! ..”
Victor Jara was among the greatest songwriters of South America, musician, theater director, poet, university teacher. Born in 1932, face and voice during Allende’s electoral campaign in 1970, he was arrested and taken to the Santiago stadium, which now bears his name but which was then the scene of the ferocity of the dictatorship. Jara is tortured and his hands are also broken, then inviting him to try playing. He will die on September 16, 1973. “Yo no canto por cantar, ni por tener buena voz, canto porque la guitarra, tiene sentido y razón .. ” (from the song “Manifiesto”)
The design of the solidarity card was created by the cartoonist from Mabel Morri, already the author of the comic card #35 of the Cervellati cyclist brothers, deported and killed in Mauthausen. Fumetto Card #39 is freely based on the graphic novel “Chile – From Allende to the New Constitution”, by Elena Basso with drawings by Mabel Morri herself. Thanks to Edizioni Becco Giallo for the collaboration.

Fumetto Forever Card #38: CIRO COLONNA
The Comic Card series was born from the encounter between cartoonists and the social and supportive sector, sometimes paying homage to comic book characters, more and more often connecting to real characters, stories and situations to be known and remembered, current or past, using this through to also reach people who normally, for various reasons, do not approach certain issues. Sometimes also to “humanize” those who should be remembered for what they did or what happened, but without forgetting that they are or were people like us, with their dreams, projects and passions.
The solidarity Comic Card #38 is dedicated to Ciro Colonna. It is a particular solidarity card as an established cartoonist was not involved but was created by several hands, by educators and children who attend the Ciro Colonna Center in Ponticelli (Naples): Roberto Cirillo, Pasquale Di Napoli and Ilaria Spagnuolo contributed to its preparation.
Two dark eyes, framed by black glasses and a reassuring face. Ciro was a simple boy, he lived with his mother Adelaide, father Enrico and Mary, his older sister. A great passion for SS Napoli that he shared with his father. He had the dreams, hopes, plans of any nineteen year old who loves life and who knows he has it all in front of him. Dreams, hopes, projects that he would certainly have stubbornly pursued.
The photos were provided by the Colonna family, under the removable card, the photo of Ciro smiling can be seen printed on the postcard, originally it was in color, the choice was to propose it in black and white, with the particularity of the light blue shirt .
It was a Tuesday, June 7, 2016. The scenario is that of via Decio mura Roman consul and it is the O lot or District of the Roman Villas, a few steps from the Colonna house. Ciro had left home to meet a friend. She had decided to wait for him playing table football in a nearby circle. Nothing different from what usually happened. But not that day. That day would change the lives of the Colonna family forever. And this only because, in that same circle, there was one of the top exponents of the Barbudos clan of the Sanità district, who had been at war for some time with the other families of the historic center for control of the territory. That June 7, fate crossed the very different lives of two young people.
In the card, Ciro wears a Napoli shirt among the buildings where he grew up, with the number 3, a victory not only for football but a symbol of hope. Three weeks after his death, with the community of Ponticelli, a playground and a pitch in his memory were redeveloped, in 2019 the Centro Colonna came to life, a place which, through the commitment of the local associations, welcomes the educational activities in memory of Ciro.
Figurine Forever will bring the card to Naples on 7 June 2023, on the occasion of the day in Ponticelli in memory of Ciro Colonna. 300 of the 326 printed copies of this first edition will be donated to the Ciro Colonna Center and to the realities that live there, including the Presidium of Libera Ponticelli and Maestri di Strada Onlus.
The first edition, numbered and limited, is not accidental. 326, 3 like the Napoli badges, 26 like the 1926 foundation year of the Napoli Club. Ciro, up there, is certainly celebrating for the Scudetto.

Fumetto Card Forever #37: GIANCARLO SIANI
Celebrate Napoli’s third Scudetto by always keeping the memory strong and alive of those who cannot be here to celebrate this immense joy that has overwhelmed the city and millions of fans, even from other teams or often not even football fans.
The solidarity Comic Card #37 is in memory of Giancarlo Siani and all the innocent victims of the mafia.
Giancarlo Siani was a fan of Napoli and also a sportsman, player and coach of a volleyball team. His job as a journalist probably didn’t allow him to devote much space to following football, but he would certainly have been enthusiastic about it.
Giancarlo Siani was unable to celebrate any of the three championships he won. He was only able to share the joy of Maradona’s arrival in Naples, but when the first championship arrives, in the 1986/87 championship, Giancarlo had already been killed by the Camorra, a year and a half earlier, on September 23, 1985, at just 26 .
Giancarlo was a reporter for Il Mattino. His investigations into the Camorra left their mark, which is why he was killed, because he was an uncomfortable journalist, a cheerful boy, sincere but absolutely stubborn and convinced in carrying on his work. He remained in the hearts of many, with his Olivetti typewriter with which he wrote over 600 articles and surveys.
The photos were supplied by the Siani family, under the removable solidarity card, the original photo of Giancarlo, from which the inspiration for the drawing was taken, can be seen printed on the postcard; he is in black and white, with the peculiarity of the green hat, a detail that we wanted to add, like his Mehari car, a symbol by heart that has been carried around the cities of Italy over the years.
The design was created by Dario Ruggieri, a great Napoli fan, to whom he dedicated two comic books “My Maradona tattoo” and “My first UEFA Cup. Stuttgart 05/17/89”.
The first edition, numbered and limited, is not accidental. 326, 3 like the Napoli badges, 26 like the 1926 founding year of the Club Napoli, but 26 also like the few years that Giancarlo was able to live.
The initiative is carried out in collaboration with the Napoli Club Bologna, named in memory of Giancarlo Siani. Figurine Forever will bring the sticker to Naples on June 7, on the occasion of the day in Ponticelli in memory of Ciro Colonna.

Fumetto Forever Card #35: THE CERVELLATI BROTHERS
Sport and the dramas of the Second World War have many common histories, just as many sportsmen suffered the tragedy of deportation to Nazi concentration camps. Stories that are often little known, almost forgotten, except for certain families and areas of the country who instead have made it a symbol and an indelible memory so that it never has to happen again.
The Cervellati brothers were two cyclists, the older, Irnerio, aspiring, the younger, Idro, aspiring. Their dreams of riding a bicycle were shattered first by the outbreak of war and then by their deportation to the Gusen-Mauthausen concentration camp, where they lost their lives together with their father Carlo.
The Cervellati family owned a small farm in Calcara, on the neighboroughs of Bologna, where the partisans had built a hut and sometimes stopped and spent the night, the family helped them. The parents Carlo and Clementina but also the three children: Irnerio, Idro and Stella.
Not only the partisans, the family also gave help to those who, after the armistice of 1943, had decided to flee to escape imprisonment for refusing not to join the republican army.
The Cervellati house was surrounded by fascists and SS men. in December 1944, the three men of the house were arrested and taken first to Bologna, then Mantua and with their final destination the Gusen-Mauthausen concentration camp where they never returned. When the camp was liberated on May 5, 1945, they were already dead.
The Comic Card #35 solidarity sticker is dedicated to the two brothers and their passion for cycling. To a dream torn from the madness of war and fascism. Those who saw Irnerio Cervellati compete defined him as one of the strongest riders of the period, with great potential and some races won between Emilia Romagna and Tuscany. hydro? We will never know what he could express on the streets, riding his bicycle, next to his older brother.
The cartoonist Mabel Morri was involved for the realization https://www.mabelmorri.it/ who really took the initiative to heart and gave away five splendid drawings of the 2 brothers, thanks to the photos provided by the Cervellati/Morselli family. Too talented to show only one, for this reason, in addition to the solidarity card, the other 4 illustrations are printed on the postcard.
We thank the Municipality of Valsamoggia for having sponsored the solidarity card.
We thank the Unione Sportiva Calcara, the cycling club of the town of the Cervellati Brothers which since 1945, through the passion for this sport, has also carried on the memory of these two youngsters, potential champions, throughout the year and every April with the Liberation Grand Prix. At the next edition, scheduled for April 30, 2023, there will also be Irnerio and Idro through their solidarity card.

Fumetto Forever Card #34: DON CAMILLO and PEPPONE!
Gagliarda or Dynamos? It’s a small world, like the stickers. This was the name of Giovannino Guareschi’s first book on the “adventures” of the famous priest Don Camillo as opposed to his alter ego Peppone, the town’s mayor and mechanic. The story is closely connected to the Italian events, just after the Second World War, they are contemporary stories because they take place in the same period in which they are told.
The setting is the low Emilian plain, the name of the town is mentioned in the books and then disappears, only in the films will it have a precise and real location, Brescello, which has since become one with its characters.
The solidarity card is inspired by the comic stories published in Italy by Renoir Comics, which refer directly to Guareschi’s books. For this reason the characters do not have the appearance of the actors Gino Cervi and Fernandel but are close to what we read in the stories.
If the diatribe between Communists and Catholics/Christian Democrats is no longer so current, the epic village clashes between football teams are always on the agenda. There will always be a Gagliarda and a Dynamos to give them to each other on the sports field and, sometimes, even beyond. The match is not fictional, it also happens in stories. In the imagination of the card, faced with the result that does not stop, the two coaches decide to enter the field. Peppone does so by removing the shirt from one of his players “the people need their leader”, in response Don Camillo also enters who, unable to play with the priest’s habit, is made to wear a bib with the Gagliarda logo,
Who wins the game? That everyone can imagine their own final result, it seems that the referee has also been bribed. The invitation is to go back to reading the famous stories of Giovannino Guareschi. The solidarity card is designed by Tommaso Arzeno and supervised by Davide Barzi, both among the authors of the comic books published in Italy by Renoir Comics, thanks to which it was possible to carry out the initiative.
Thanks also to the heirs of the Guareschi family for having authorized and supported the project. The edition of this first edition in 148 copies is a deliberate homage to the year of the first volume publication, 1948, while the stories in episodes began to appear in the magazine “Candido” at the end of 1946.

Fumetto Forever Card #33: GIUSEPPE SALVIA!
Giuseppe Salvia is Deputy Director and Head of the maximum security department of the Poggioreale prison, Naples, when he is assassinated by the Nuova Camorra Organizzata on the orders of Raffaele Cutolo, for having been a point of resistance in the fight of the State against the Camorra.
The solidarity Comic Card #33 is dedicated to the memory of Salvia and to all the innocent victims of the mafia. It was April 14, 1981, when Giuseppe, 38 years old married with two daughters (Antonino and Claudio), returning from work, was followed and shot to death in a cowardly ambush on the Naples ring road, by a commando from the area by Ponticelli.
The decision to draw him in front of a foosball table is a happy intuition of the Salvia family, following the information gathered on the setting that solidarity stickers often have. The aim is also to want, in some way, to “humanize” those who fought against mafia power and were unfortunately often killed for it. Giuseppe Salvia was not an ordinary man, of great values and sound principles, but he was also a person, a father, like many others, with his passions, such as that for table football.
The splendid drawing of the card was created by Italo Mattone, professor at the International School of Comics in Naples and well-known cartoonist for publishers such as Eura, Renoir and Sergio Bonelli Editore, in particular for the Julia, Martin Mystère, Odessa and Saguaro series.
The Comic Cards linked to the support of associations, realities and non-profit organizations against the mafias, have a circulation with an extremely symbolic number, 109, like the 1996 law for the public and social reuse of assets confiscated from the mafias.

Fumetto Forever Card #32: BLUE GIRL!
The collaboration between Figurine Forever and Amnesty International continues, with the aim of raising awareness, remembering and promoting the initiatives that the Human Rights organization carries out in Italy and in the world. In the style of the solidarity stickers, always using the immortal charm of the stickers, as immortal is the memory of Sahar Khodayari.
The Comic Card #32 is in memory of her, who became famous as the Blue Girl.
Sahar is a young woman full of life, a fan of Tehran’s Esteghlal FC. But the Iranian regime still doesn’t allow women to go to the stadium: to see her favorite team play, Sahar disguises herself as a man and tries to sneak into the Azadi stadium, but is discovered and arrested.
Sinful act, not having worn the hijab in a public place and offense to public officials: these are the heavy charges against him. At the first hearing she hears that the sentence could be from 6 months to 2 years in prison. Coming out of the courthouse, in a gesture of protest and desperation at the same time, Sahar decides to set herself on fire.
She will die a week later, on September 9, 2019, from the severe burns he sustained.
She will be remembered as Blue Girl, the girl in blue, like the color of the Esteghlal shirt. #bluegirl will go around the world. Following her case, pressure from FIFA led the Iranian regime to make some concessions on the presence of women in stadiums for international matches. The photo you see on the postcard is related to this period.
The author of the splendid drawing, which takes up a famous photo of Blue Girl, is the young cartoonist Chiara Raimondi, recently appreciated at work with the comic biography of Rigoni Stern (Becco Giallo editions).
The solidarity card will be presented to the public, in a national preview, at the 10th edition of FIGUCON, on Sunday 15 January 2023, at Estragon Club Bologna. Chiara Raimondi will be present for the signing of copies of the solidarity card from 14.00 to 17.00
For AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL! With this solidarity card + postcard, it will be possible to support the Adotta Con La Figurina project and the activities of Amnesty International. The dissemination purpose is equally important and for this reason the project was born and the collaboration between Figurine Forever and Amnesty International was strengthened

Fumetto Forever Card #31: GIORGIO REBUFFI!
To date we have involved over 30 authors of the Ninth Art in the solidarity card project, we will never stop thanking them for their time, passion and willingness to make a fundamental contribution to a project that surprised ourselves first of all, in seeing how many satisfactions it has brought us and how much it has branched out.
It was also time to think about those who, unfortunately, are no longer with us, because comics have a long, compelling and exciting history. Made up of many characters who have remained in the hearts of readers, as well as many authors and designers who created them. Comics Card #31 is dedicated to one of these, a historic name in Italian comics, Giorgio Rebuffi, born in 1928, who died in 2014.
Not only Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, Italian newsstands have experienced a period, which actually lasted many years, where children and teenagers ran to buy American humorous comics as high quality Italian productions that saw a succession of unforgettable signatures of the Ninth Art.
Many icons of Italian comics are linked to the name of Giorgio Rebuffi, from Beppe and Cucciolo to Tiramolla, from Trottolino to even Disney’s Uncle Scrooge. Most of all, the Steppe Wolf remains unforgettable with his improbable “macaroni Russian”, Pugaciòff.
The solidarity Comic Card #31 is therefore a double tribute to a character who has entered the collective imagination of Italian comics and to his creator. For this reason, as often happens with our solidarity publishments, the circulation has a precise meaning: 159 with reference to 1959, Pugaciòff’s first appearance in the Edizioni Alpe albums.
The initiative was made possible by the collaboration with Sbam Comics, the current publisher of Pugaciòff’s stories and by the availability of the Rebuffi Family who made it possible to achieve everything. Equally and always proactive, the collaboration with ANAFI (National Association of Friends of Comics) and the WOW Comics Museum in Milan.
Comics Card #31 will be previewed at the 65th Anafi Comics Exhibition, Bologna Fair, on Saturday 26 November 2022 where you can find copies of the solidarity card both at the Figurine Forever stand and at the Sbam Comics stand.

Fumetto Forever Card #30: SILVER!
“Hey Beppe!”, This time we play in advance not waiting for the anniversary and this time we involved one of the most beloved Italian cartoonists and with him, of course, one of the most read strips. We challenge anyone, not to have had at least once a diary, a notebook, a pencil case, of course a register or really much more of Alberto, the wolf in constant struggle with Moses and the other inhabitants of the farm to be able to reach the arms of his beloved hen Marta.
We were lucky enough to meet the famous designer at the WOW Museum in Milan, whom we support with some of our solidarity stickers and whom we thank, through the Director Luigi F. Bona it was possible to get back in touch with the author of Lupo Alberto and Cattivik for to get to this splendid solidarity figurine, it has yet to come out and has already entered the myth.
As often happens with our productions, we wanted to give a sporting connotation to the solidarity stickers, in this case the memory of the many strips read, starting from the legendary Eureka Pocket of Editoriale Corno, came to meet us. We talked about it with Silver and his staff, not only was an unpublished rugby-themed design born but, given the new graphics of our postcards, we were also able to insert that strip from many years ago that inspired us and that above all makes us still laughing a lot!
Lupo Alberto was born in 1973, even if our hero will become the main protagonist only a year later. Next year we imagine there will be many events to commemorate the 50th anniversary of this comic, all Italian pride, we will be there too, with our solidarity card, provided that of course it does not end sooner. After all, the limited and numbered edition is a tribute to the strip’s half-century.

Fumetto Forever Card #29: ALDRO LIVES!
A year later, we return to Ferrara, a year later we still feel strongly the duty to remember a boy, on the occasion of the anniversary of his death, which took place on 25 September 2005, killed by the murderous madness of those who, instead of representing the State and his values, he raged violently on Aldro who had, the only fault if it can be considered such, of living his young age.
After the great success of the first solidarity Comic Card, printed in 300 numbered copies and sold out in a single day, we therefore decided to make a second one, completely different from the previous one. Like the first one, the Ferrara illustrator and cartoonist Alberto Lunghini created it. Thinking of meeting the strong demand and the many disappointed by not being able to take a copy of the first one, this time we printed 500 copies, a truly significant number compared to our parameters, but we are sure that everyone’s response will be equally important.
There is a logical and dramatic sequence between the first and the second card, in the first we imagined Federico and his dreams, in this we wanted to somehow underline all the movement that was created after his death, not only in the his memory but also and above all in the search for truth and justice.
Movement that was a group of ordinary people, organizations such as Amnesty International, institutions but also and perhaps above all the curves of the ultras, from north to south, from Serie A to the minor leagues, from football to basketball, from the boys of the Curva Ovest of Spal to other groups that, even today, carry the image of Federico around the stadiums, so that he may never be forgotten and who, still and incredibly, is sometimes opposed by those in charge of public order in some cities.
“Aldro lives” therefore, in the heart of his family and of those who loved him. In the passion of those who also know how to put aside love for their team and hatred for the opponent, for a common interest, for a thirst for justice and solidarity that knows neither colors nor relegations nor categories.
The photos of the curves that you find on the front of the postcard were provided by the Aldrovandi family who have collected them in the last 17 years, we have not been able to put them all, they were really too many. Update: we realized, too late and only after having already sent the postcard to print, that the same image was inserted twice at the expense of that of the curve of the Ultras Foggia. It was not possible to remedy the error in time for the presentation in Ferrara. For this reason, an updated edition will be printed in a very limited number of copies, 18 copies, a free version, so as to be able to give credit to the Foggia fans too. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Fumetto Forever Card #28: LUI E L’ORSO!
Rainbow forever! The great releases of the solidarity Comic Cards continue in a new graphic format, which makes the right space and “tribute” to the graphic novel from which they take inspiration. Real characters or fictional characters, but with something to say. The Comic Card # 28 is dedicated to a couple of comics, Diego and Simone, better known as “Him and the Bear”.
An LGBT + themed comic that after its great success as a webcomic has landed on the press for Shockdom editions. Our heroes live an intense and sometimes complicated love story in Bologna, surrounded by a group of friends who, through humor, can be defined as excellent representatives of that splendid reality that is the LGBT + community of the city of Bologna, well integrated and promoter, often earlier than in the rest of the country, of battles for civil rights.
The Bear is not just a reference to Diego’s bulk, but is the result of a magical potion that transforms Simone’s companion into a large mammal. Why is this happening, how will they solve the problem? To find out, we invite you to run to the bookstore and buy the volume, you will find much more and you will want on the one hand to read it again, on the other hand to wait for the new chapter!
Author of the graphic novel and of course of our solidarity card is Salvatore Callerami, a Sicilian cartoonist who has been living in Bologna for some time. We thank him for having responded enthusiastically to our proposal and for having fully grasped the spirit of our solidarity stickers, in this case leaving the sports theme and, we could not have done otherwise, with a clear reference to a famous American football team, the Chicago Bears!

Fumetto Forever Card #27: PAOLO BORSELLINO!
LIBERA forever! We are facing an important solidarity card, a first for many reasons. The first with the new graphics of our Comics Cards. The choice is due to the chance to distance ourselves, when necessary, from the sporting reference. This solidarity card is also the first of a, we hope, long series dedicated to the fight against the mafia. The Comic Card # 27 solidarity card is in memory of Paolo Borsellino.
Judge Borsellino is drawn in a moment of relaxation, with his bicycle, which we wanted to design sports so as to maintain a reference, even if light, to our previous Comic Cards. These men and women who for a lifetime have fought the Mafia logic, they were or are people like us, with loves, passions, thoughts that are often part of our life.
The other important novelty is the close synergy, even more than before, of the figurine with the graphic novel to which it is freely linked. It is an even stronger tribute to the world of comics, it is a way for us to support the Ninth Art and its authors and artists in our own small way.
The drawing is made by Gianluca Doretto, author of “Paolo Borsellino, a story to tell” (Renoir Comics, 2021). The comic board on the postcard, placed under the sticker, is taken from the graphic novel, we have chosen a page full of meaning. The Sicilian writer of the graphic novel Marco Sonseri, a friend of Figurine Forever and now also with the role of our fundamental collaborator, with him was born the idea of this sub-series of solidarity stickers against the mafia.
The Comic Cards linked to fight against mafia have an extremely symbolic number, 109, like the law of 1996 for the public and social reuse of assets confiscated from the mafia.
In the case of this solidarity card, Libera is an important reality in our country, it collects associations, names and numbers against the mafias. His work is often hidden but important, we certainly do not think with our stickers that we can make a difference, but if they can contribute to the support, including media, of their work, the result will be achieved.
Paolo Borsellino died in the mafia massacre in via D’Amelio in Palermo on 19 July 1992, with him the men and women of the escort, whom we wanted to remember on the back of the postcard. Many will have noticed that even in the figurine there is the tree that has become a perpetual symbol of remembrance, for all those who, who have never stopped, have the opportunity to go this way in order not to forget.

Fumetto Forever Card #26: ENRICO BERLINGUER!
Sardinia Forever! This Comic Card is important for many reasons: it is the first of hopefully a fruitful and new collaboration with the many Sardinian friends who live in Bologna, our city. But it is also the last with the current graphics of the postcard that accompanied us for 26 issues, from number 27 you change! Sooner or last, it is an important solidarity card for its protagonist, Enrico Berlinguer.
Berlinguer is a character who goes beyond the ideas of each of us, he is a man who has been important for the history of Italy, his political passion, his values, his charisma even today, after so many years, remain indelible over time. Enrico was also a proud Sardinian, he deeply loved his land and was also passionate about football as well as sailing.
Berlinguer was from Sassari and a Cagliari fan, we like to think that as a young man he really dreamed of wearing that shirt and we are sure he was proud of what an island team had managed to do, winning a memorable championship. A way in some ways that reflected his political doctrine, firmly convinced that it is right to give everyone the opportunity to be there, to be able to compete, even without the money and the power of the great teams of the north.
To create the solidarity card we involved another exceptional Sardinian, cartoonist Otto Gabos, a Bolognese by adoption, but also strongly linked to his Sardinian origins. Otto has been the protagonist of Italian comics for almost 40 years, if you love author comics, you can’t help but know him. Some of us, lifelong comic book fans, remember him, among the many works, for “The Walkers”, a splendid graphic novel from the early 90s set in Bologna.

Fumetto Forever Card #25: SECONDO CASADEI!
Romagna forever! Some newspapers have already anticipated our initiative, not even a good piadina was filling the hunger to finally see this design. Finally here it is, unveiled the solidarity Comics Card # 25, dedicated to Secondo Casadei!
“But who, the one who wrote Romagna Mia?”, Yes, he himself. Even if speaking of Secondo limiting himself to just one musical work is really reductive, he was an incredible artist, bringing the folklore of Romagna music to be loved and appreciated in Italy and in the world, a path that, even now, is not at all finished.
More than a thousand recordings, an infinite discography like the dance evenings on the Riviera. The ability, unique more than rare, to know how to make his music universal. We collectors are well aware of feeling the “nostalgia of the past”, of historical albums, stickers, moments and emotions that can be repeated, but never in the same way.
The project was born from an idea of the MEI of Faenza and from the historical Edizioni Musicali Casadei Sonora, thinking that also to Secondo, to his world, to his Romagna, we could dedicate one of our solidarity Comic Card, a proposal that obviously we welcomed with enthusiasm.
We then set off (after all, Romagna is also the land of two-wheeled speed, isn’t it?) To look for a cartoonist who could fully grasp the essence of Secondo Casadei and transform it with a drawing into a figurine. The Piedmontese cartoonist Alessandra Rostagnotto was a precise choice and, after seeing the result, very happy to have contacted her and also that Alessandra made everything possible.
Just by reading her latest graphic novel “Discosogni” (Bao Editions, 2022), we thought that Alessandra, even if not “daughter of Romagna”, could be the right person. The story of Ambra and Giovanni, the two protagonists of his comic, is set on the Riviera, even if the Ligurian one, but it makes no difference; we are sure, thousands of times, even in Sanremo, they have listened to, sang, danced the most famous songs by Casadei. Secondo’s music certainly had no boundaries.
The solidarity card is a tribute to Casadei and to all of Romagna, often synonymous with sun, good food and lots of fun. Whenever possible, our Comics Cards have a sporting reference, which is why Secondo wears the football shirt that, in some way, wants to pay homage to the Romagna team that, no one wants it, has known the flavor of Serie A and also of the Cups European.
Those who know us know that we love details and that, when we can and can, nothing is given to chance. For this reason, the numbered edition is 206 copies, that 06 is not just accidental, it is a deliberate reference to the year of birth of Secondo Casadei, 1906.

Michele forever! In January 2022, a friend of Figurine Forever left us, but above all a boy with a heart of gold, engaged in the front line with the splendid reality of Porta Pazienza, a pizzeria that is much more than a pizzeria, as it is. they define themselves as “we are a social project” (https://portapazienza.bo.it/). In a mix of tears and satisfaction, we are thrilled to announce the solidarity Comic Card # 24, in memory of Michele Ammendola.
Michele, from Bologna by adoption, was a true Neapolitan, a great fan of the Azzurri team. This is why we thought that one way to remember him was to imagine him as the footballer of his beloved Napoli and even with Porta Pazienza as the main sponsor of the team! The edition is also a tribute to his sporting passion, 126 copies, thinking about the year of the club’s birth, 1926.
All this was made possible by the splendid graphic work of the young cartoonist Gloria Goderecci, from Abruzzo but also from Bologna by adoption, author of the recent graphic novel “Death is only the beginning” (Tunuè editions). Dear Michele, even your farewell is only the beginning for us, your commitment and all that of the children of Porta Pazienza, together with other related associations, has never stopped, it has gone further and will continue to do so.
FOR PORTA PAZIENZA! With this solidarity card + postcard, it will be possible to support the Adotta Con La Figurina project and Porta Pazienza (https://www.portapazienza.bo.it/), a splendid reality in Bologna, defining it as a pizzeria would be very limiting, the goal is to create a critical and conscious consumption model, bringing unique recipes with products from assets confiscated from the mafias and from social farming cooperatives.

Fumetto Forever Card #23: FRANCO GRILLINI!
The marathon for rights never stops! When we thought of this solidarity card, the first idea was to write behind the “arrival” banner, then Franco himself pointed out that there is still a long way to go, there are still many races to be won and every time it is like starting again again, as if for each new hope we return to the departure. We are happy and proud to announce the Fumetto Card # 23 dedicated to Franco Grillini.
Franco Grillini deserves to be celebrated with a card, one of the founders of Arci Gay and of the LILA (Italian League for the Fight against Aids), among the first to bring PRIDE to our country, more generally an important point of reference for those who has at heart freedom and the protection of rights, for all, beyond, for example, sexual orientation.
Its history has been so intense that it has become a “Let’s Kiss” film that it is taking around Italy, loved by both the public and critics, recently winner of the Nastro d’Argento, one of the most important and significant awards in film field.
Figurine Forever is from Bologna and Franco Grillini is a beautiful symbol of our city, of his knowledge of being also democratic, pluralist, tolerant and often ahead of the times compared to the rest of the country. Franco, but also Marcella di Folco’s MIT (our other solidarity card, already sold out) and many other social realities that make us feel “pride” / proud to be its children.
We are equally happy to have involved one of the best cartoonists of the new Italian generation, Flavia Biondi, who has always been very sensitive to LGBT + issues, who has been able to tell with her splendid graphic novels, from “The Generation” to “The gossip” and many others books that we recommend you read. Thanks to Flavia who was able to create a drawing that perfectly expresses the idea with which our solidarity card was born.
FRANCO FOR IAM!
With this solidarity card + postcard, it will be possible to support the Adotta Con La Figurina project and the activities of IAM – Intersectionalities and more Aps, about beautiful Bolognese realities. IAM is not only an LGBTI association but deals at 360 ° with intersectional identities, especially related to the issues of disability, migration, second generations and aging with a special attention to these topics in connection with sexual and gender minorities .

Fumetto Forever Card #22: FRED BUSCAGLIONE!
Fred Forever! The Comic Card # 22 is a mix of emotions, of memories that seem distant in time, but which on the contrary are alive and strong, in the hearts of fans, fans and all Italians. We are pleased to present the solidarity card of the immense Fred Buscaglione with the Grande Torino shirt.
However, 1949 was an unforgettable year. Tragic, unique, exciting. On the one hand, a football team, Torino, which had been dominating for several years in Italy and also in Europe, disappeared. Perhaps not the strongest team of all time (impossible to make comparisons between different eras) but certainly the most loved, by all, even if the heart is not grenade.
Also in 1949 the musical career of Fred Buscaglione definitely took off, thanks to the creation of the orchestral group Asternovas and hundreds of concerts up and down the boot. While we wept for the Superga massacre, we danced with Fred, with the city of Turin in our hearts.
The idea of creating a supportive cartoon figurine of Fred was born thanks to the collaboration with Giacomo Taddeo Traini, author of the graphic novel “Swing, barbera and Fred” (Edizioni Becco Giallo, 2022), on the centenary of the birth of the great Buscaglione . Giacomo enthusiastically responded to our proposal and created the perfect sticker, in full harmony with the intent of the project, Fred’s light-hearted gaze, the Grande Torino shirt, in the background the symbols of the city Turin. The edition of the figurine, 149, has a precise meaning.
An important partner of the initiative is the MEI in Faenza, the Meeting of Independent Labels has always carried out an incredible job of enhancing and promoting Italian music. Involving them in the project was not just a pleasure, almost a duty.

Fumetto Forever Card #21: MUHAMMAD ALI!
Boxing Forever! Making a ranking of the greatest boxers of all time is difficult, each one has its own myths. We, influenced by cinema and comics, could not fail to include Rocky Balboa even if they were “only” movies and Rocky Joe, even if it was “only” a manga and later a cartoon.
There is a name that probably everyone agrees, born exactly 80 years old, the champion that everyone loved, so much so that he became a pop icon, but even more a point of reference for the battles on civil rights and against war in Vietnam. The Comic Card # 21 is dedicated to the great Cassius Clay alias Muhammad Ali.
An incredible athlete who has a special bond with our country, when at just 22 he won the gold medal at the Rome Olympics in 1960. Many of his battles in the ring are famous, the fight in Zaire against George Foreman has become legendary. known as “Rumble in the jungle”.
An excellent way to learn more about the history of the great champion is the graphic novel “Muhammad Alì”, written by Francesco Barilli and designed by Lele Corvi for Double Shot Edizioni, from which our figurine is freely taken. Limited edition of 142 copies, just in memory of 1942, the year of birth of the great champion.

Fumetto Forever Card #20: SANDRO DOSSI!
Geppo forever! Between the 40s and the 60s of the last century, we probably experienced the golden age of Italian serial comics, with the birth of an incredible number of characters, of many genres. One on which we really made the difference was the humorous genre, where we were able to reinvent American comics such as Popeye or Felix the cat (even at Disney we left our mark), but above all to create new ones, many, many.
The list is long, from Tiramolla to Soldino, from Pugacioff to Nonna Abelarda. Among these was a devil, who dreamed of being good and leaving hell. We are happy and excited to announce the solidarity Fumetto Card # 20 dedicated to the legendary GEPPO!
Among the many great artists who have alternated over the years (Carpi, Sangalli, etc.), Sandro Dossi certainly deserves a place of honor, his unmistakable trait we remember in many issues of comics that for decades children (not only them ..) have bought at newsstands.
Sandro enthusiastically embraced our proposal and we thank him, of course the good devil could only take on the role of the AC Milan player, his favorite team, including Dossi himself.

Fumetto Forever Card #19: MATTHIAS SINDELAR!
Sindelar Forever!
April 3, 1938, one last match is granted before the annexation to Germany. Austria is one of the greatest teams of the 1920s and 1930s, not surprisingly called the “Wunderteam”, capable of winning the 1931-1932 International Cup, an important tournament, previously won by Italy coach Pozzo who will later become two-time world champion. Captain and star of that formation is Matthias Sindelar, the protagonist of our solidarity Fumetto Card # 19.
The agreement requested by the Germans was to play “light”, but the Austrians were not so available, Matthias in the first place, who played the game of his life and in the end the final result saw Hitler’s national team lose 2-0, but it could have been much heavier.
The initiative was made possible thanks to the availability of Carlo Rispoli, author with Carlo Bazan of the graphic novel “The Sindelar case” (Signs of the Author, 2020), who designed not one but two solidarity cards.
Limited and numbered edition card + postcard, 69 copies per card, for a total of 138, where that (1) 38 is a clear reference to the famous lot.
Partners of the initiative are Anafi and Lucca Collezionando, who enthusiastically embraced both the editorial proposal and its solidarity purpose, like all our stickers. For this reason, the Fumetto Card # 19 will be available in an exclusive preview during the Lucca festival, Saturday 2 and Sunday 3 April 2022, at the Anafi stand, with a presentation to the public scheduled for Sunday 3 April in the afternoon, in the presence of the author Carlo Rispoli.

Fumetto Forever Card #18: FRANCESCO LORUSSO!
Francesco lives! For us who live and live in Bologna, it is impossible not to know the sad events of March ’77, it is impossible not to know who was a boy, full of ideals, an activist in the student movement and in Lotta Continua, engaged in social and sporting activities. The Comic Card # 18 is dedicated to Francesco Lorusso.
It is not our role, nor our intention, to judge what happened. We want to keep his memory alive, for this reason we have created the solidarity stickers, a young man who is always smiling in the photos that portray him. Bologna today is very far from the seventies, but the desire to be, to democracy, to participate should never be lacking.
Francesco was a rugby player, with a past in the Pesaro club. Much more than other occasions with our solidarity stickers, representing him with a game shirt is not risky. Indeed, given that we often work in the field of “ifs”, that is, of hypotheses, of stories that may have gone differently, we like to imagine that that morning of 11 March 1977, Francesco is not hit by a bullet, but returns home to study, to become a doctor (he was a student of the Faculty of Medicine) and, in his free time, to continue playing with the oval ball.
The initiative was made possible by the splendid drawing by Hellobea (Beatrice Tinarelli), a designer from Bologna, very popular especially in the field of children’s illustration books. We like the typology of Beatrice’s works to have been made available to commemorate a tragic moment in the history of our city and our country. It almost seems like a contrast but it is exactly the opposite.
FRANCESCO FOR THE LORUSSO & GIULIANI DOCUMENTATION CENTER!
With this solidarity card + postcard, it will be possible to support the Adotta Con La Figurina project and the archiving and social promotion activities to protect the historical memory of the “Francesco Lorusso and Carlo Giuliani” Documentation Center (https://centrodoc-vag61.info/), a reality in Bologna but which has a wide national if not international scope.

Fumetto Forever Card #17: BUD SPENCER!
We are always excited to announce a new solidarity card, in this case we are just as little bit incredulous and certainly very happy to be able to pay homage to a myth. The ComicCard # 17 is Carlo Pedersoli, aka BUD SPENCER!
The initiative was made possible thanks to the splendid and fruitful collaboration both with the Pedersoli family (we thank Cristiana, Diamante and Giuseppe Pedersoli) and with Marco Sonseri and Roberto Lauciello, authors of the comic biography of the great Italian actor, released this year with ReNoir Comics.
As you know, our Fumetto Cards always have a sporting reference, in the case of Bud Spencer we also wanted to pay homage to his hometown, to which he has always remained very attached, Naples. We also wanted to remember the most unforgettable period for Neapolitan fans, which is why Bud wears the jersey of the times of Diego Armando Maradona who, together with many other champions, led the club to win in Italy and in Europe.
It is not the only reference you will find, the particular edition of the solidarity card is a reference to one of Bud Spencer’s most loved films, 163 numbered copies, 63 as the jersey number that the gentle giant wore in “They Called Him Bulldozer”.
Exclusive preview at FIGUCON 2022! The solidarity card will be presented as an absolute preview at the traditional event organized by the Figurine Forever Association, scheduled for next January 15th at Estragon Club, Bologna.

The second edition continues the numbering of the first, compared to the first edition it has some differences: the text on the back of the postcard is slightly different, it is a clear homage to the third championship of Napoli (326, three like the championships won, 26 since 1926 year of foundation of the club) and presents

Fumetto Forever Card #16: MASSIMO CAVEZZALI!
You’ll never swap alone! Our solidarity stickers have reached 50 releases, could we not celebrate this milestone with something extraordinary? We are thrilled to announce the Comic Card # 16 solidarity card, created by the legendary Massimo Cavezzali!
Massimo Cavezzali is synonymous with the history of Italian humorous comics, linked to the world of strips but not only. We loved him in the stories of the Dolline, the Dio Spa, Ava but also in his comic biographies on the great musicians, the one on Vasco Rossi is memorable and highly sought after. Right in this period, Cavezzali is in bookstores and comic shops with the new work “Comic submarine” (Vololibero Edizioni), the opportunity was too tempting not to try to contact him and his response was incredible, we thank him for this.
Our Comic Card solidarity stickers always have a sporting connotation, in this case it was easy, John, Paul, George and Ringo portrayed as Liverpool FC footballers. Four unpublished drawings made by Cavezzali for our edition.
In the beginning we had thought of making a single card, but Max’s drawings were too beautiful to combine them and therefore it was decided to make a monumental edition of 4 cards + postcards. Each of them is limited edition and numbered to 99 copies. We have also decided to add the number 50 behind our logo to celebrate this splendid achievement.
Consequently, the numbering restarts from 1 to 99 for each different solidarity card: . #16/1 John Lennon . #16/2 Paul McCartney . #16/3 George Harrison . #16/4 Ringo Starr
The set of 4 solidarity cards Fumetto Card # 16 will be presented in an exclusive preview at the Bologna Disco, Figurine and Comic Book Fair on 27/28 November 2021 at BolognaFiere, an event organized by Kolosseo.

Fumetto Forever Card #15: ADRIANO CARNEVALI!
Ronfi Forever! A great classic of Italian comics, a historical magazine of Italian comics. We are pleased to announce the Solidarity Comic Card # 15 dedicated to the Ronfi by Adriano Carnevali, on the occasion of an important anniversary.
A hundred of these years! In 1981, exactly forty years ago, the Ronfi were born in the legendary Corriere dei Piccoli: the laziest rodents in the world have since conquered generations of readers. This is why we decided to celebrate them with one, or rather two of our cards. We are in Milano, and it’s derby! The Comic Card # 15 is printed in 160 copies, numbered, from 1 to 80 we find the Ronfo/Inter, from 81 to 160 the Ronfo/Milan. Of course the jerseys are those of 1981. Let’s see which one finishes first and wins the derby!

Fumetto Forever Card #14: LUCA BERLATI!
Berluca Forever! We are happy to announce the solidarity Comic Card # 14, created by Luca Berlati, cartoonist with more than 30.000 followers on Instagram, resident in Cesena but, as can be seen from the image, born in Rome and “Romanist of Rome”.
We had the pleasure of reading his first graphic novel “Qua tutto al posto” (Shockdom Edizioni, 2021) and were pleasantly surprised. It is an autobiographical story, in different parts some of us can certainly be found, the drawing page after page makes it very well. A strong but also delicate story, perhaps one of the “everyday stories” as Riccardo Fogli sang, but an intense and beautiful story to tell, as much as reading it.

“It can be done!”. Perhaps some of you, we can hardly believe it, have never seen Frankenstein Jr. (Young Frankenstein), but we challenge anyone to tell us they have never heard of it. Either way, run and see it, then come back here.
We are happy to announce the Fumetto Card # 13, created by Isabella Di Leo, cartoonist but also a sincere lover of cinema and in particular of Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder. Thanks to the two of them and their professional union, a film was born that rightly entered the myth, the costume, the tradition of cinema. Mel and Gene were also friends, they made several films together, but Young Frankenstein remains, even in terms of success, the most successful.
Isabella Di Leo has created a splendid graphic novel (Edizioni Becco Giallo) that tells the story of the friendship between Mel and Gene and of the film, the path that led them to its realization. Di Leo did an amazing job of documenting. As collectors as we are, however long and exhausting, we are sure she had a lot of fun.
Our Fumetto Cards always have a sporting reference, it is our “trademark” that distinguishes us. Here we did not have to investigate the passions of the two myths of American cinema, it was enough to read the comic (we do not want to anticipate anything), but the two crazy people had a passion for tennis. Maybe not to participate in the US OPEN, but their victories have collected them in other fields.

Fumetto Forever Card #12: FEDERICO ALDROVANDI!
Aldro Forever. Our solidarity stickers have always the aim of raising awareness, making people known but also remembering. The Comic Card # 12 was born with this intent, to remember the story of Federico Aldrovandi. A boy, like so many others, killed during a police check, returning from a night at the disco, like so many others.
It is not our task nor our intention to be judges, as ordinary citizens we are still today, after 16 years, incredulous of what happened, perpetrated by representatives of the state. This is why it is important not to forget Federico.
The initiative is made possible thanks to the support of the girls and boys of the Curva Ovest, the ultras of SPAL. They responded with enthusiasm and participation to our proposal and with them we contacted Alberto Lunghini, a well-known designer from Ferrara. For this card, for Federico, we wanted an author from the city. Furthermore, Lunghini drew Ferrara and the people of Ferrara, SPAL and its supporters among his works. There could not have been a better choice.
The card is also rich in meanings, always with a sporty approach (in this case even more so given the involvement of the ultras, always at the forefront in demanding justice for Aldro) but with messages that perhaps need to be explained. We wanted to design Aldro as a Spal player, the bycicle kick is the thought that what happened erased the dreams of a boy, including those of when, attacking the players’ stickers, he dreamed one day of scoring a goal, perhaps in his stadium, in front to its people.
ALDRO FOR AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL!
With this solidarity card + postcard, it will be possible to support the Adotta Con La Figurina project and the activities of Amnesty International Italy, not in general, by the will of all those involved in the production of the solidarity card, but expressly for the “Immediate Identification Codes” campaign to provide for identification measures for agents engaged in transactions of public order.
Given the probable high demand for the solidarity card, we decided, for the first time, to print not 150 but 300 copies, always numbered and limited, without providing for reprints. In the hope that our initiative will be successful, we like to think that we will be able to meet in Ferrara, in a year, to present a new Federico card, different from the first one.

Fumetto Forever Card #11: MARCELLA DI FOLCO!
Marcella Forever! We are happy, excited and proud to announce the Fumetto Forever Card # 11, dedicated to Marcella Di Folco, historical fighter of the LGBT + community, who passed away on 7 September 2010.
Our Association is based in Bologna, the city of Marcella’s adoption where she decided to move from Rome to continue her battles. In Bologna, Marcella was elected to the City Council in 1995, the first transsexual in the world to achieve this result.
Bologna was his city and his main cradle for many initiatives, here in 1988 he became President of MIT, Transsexual Identity Movement, with the creation of a consultancy followed directly by transgender people, also in this case the first in the world.
Our solidarity card wants to be a small means to thank her for what she has done for civil rights, far beyond the LGBT + world, Marcella has been (still is) a point of reference for those who work daily for a better world, for everyone. Marcella fully lived her way of being, first as an actor loved by great Italian directors (Fellini, Rossellini, Risi, etc.), then a strong and stubborn Woman, with many difficulties, but always with a smile. The choice of the solidarity card is deliberate, we remember Marcella like this.
As usual, the choice of the image is not accidental, we wanted to imagine Marcella as a footballer for the Italian national team in the “notti magiche” of the 1990 World Cup. An important year where she was elected in the Saragozza district of Bologna, the first important step that will lead her to the next electoral round. to enter the Municipality. Moreover, not everyone knows that Marcella was passionate about sports and a great fan, of As Roma but also of Bologna FC.
The designer of the card is Gianluca Sturmann, an established illustrator. Gianluca also created the graphics for the MIT 2021 card, which was never better chosen. Above all because Sturmann did not limit himself to making a portrait of Marcella, in addition to the pencil he put his heart into it, making the drawing an even more beautiful tribute with many references that bring back to Di Folco’s way of being, such as the fan, the hat and the inevitable “Favolosa” writing.

Fumetto Forever Card #10: RIGOR MORTIS!
We are happy to announce the Comic Card # 10! Younger comics fans know Riccardo Crosa very well for his works on the famous character of Dragonero by Bonelli Editore. The fantasy settings, however, were born well before, in the 90s, with the legendary character of a generation RIGOR MORTIS.
The many commitments of the Syracusan designer led to no longer having time for the comics of the “Genius of Evil” (not to be confused with the other very Italian Cattivik, created by Bonvi), when we contacted him to involve him in our solidarity stickers ours request was precise: we want him! We want Rigor Mortis!
Rigor Mortis with UR94 Ultras Ravenna? It would certainly make a difference. The choice of Ravenna was born from the fact that it was the adopted city of Crosa, who therefore wanted to pay him homage. Rigor Mortis as a footballer would have been not very credible, better a fan, but someone like him certainly couldn’t stand in the stands, better in the hottest part of the Giallorossi cheer, in the corners!

Fumetto Forever Card #9: L’INSONNE!
Desdemona Forever! L’Insonne is a comic that has made an era, a cult, loved by many fans who have crossed the world of comics from the 90s to 2010, the year the series closed. Several publishers have been involved in the releases of this story, set mainly in Florence, but also in Bologna.
L’Insonne is a creation of Giuseppe Di Bernardo, now an esteemed designer of Diabolik, waiting for Giuseppe and some publishers to revive the saga, perhaps with an “absolute” edition so fashionable today. main character, the night DJ Desdemona.
Giuseppe Di Bernardo is a great supporter of Fiorentina, the stories, as mentioned, are mainly set in Florence, the cartoon solidarity card # 9 could only be in strong Purple colors!

Fumetto Forever Card #8: PERTURBAZIONE!
Stickers, music and comics! A mix of passions that goes well with our initiatives. We are happy to announce the new Comic Card, if # 7 featured a band that doesn’t actually exist (or maybe yes?), # 8 talks about a historical name of Italian music, the Turinese PERTURBAZIONE!
We got the idea from the same band, being the authors of the splendid graphic novel WHO REALLY KNOW (Bao Publishing 2021), the drawings instead of DAVIDE AURILIA whom we thank for his willingness to get involved in our initiative. Perturbazione could very well be one of our FanForever, instead they are in the collection of the cards on the comic, they fit perfectly, don’t you think?
The card partly incorporates the drawing of Aurilia that concludes the volume, the Perturbazione have accepted our proposal to “play along” and to present themselves with the colors of their favorite teams, so as to continue the sporting theme that distinguishes all our solidarity figurines. Vintage 70s shirts, without sponsors, of Torino, Inter and Foggia.
Official presentation on Sunday 27 June at the Turin Disco Fair, Piazza Madama Cristina, organized by Kolosseo. It will be a great opportunity to also meet the members of the band, buy the solidarity card, but also the volume and musical productions, merchandising, all over the world Perturbazione!

Fumetto Forever Card #7: SERGIO ALGOZZINO!
“In stickers we trust, in prog we trust!“. We are happy to announce the seventh solidarity card dedicated to the world of comics, thanks to Sergio Algozzino and his latest work “THE ONIRIC FACTORY OF SOUND”, a splendid graphic novel published by Feltrinelli Comics, set in the 70s, when next to the claims of the youth movements, a genre was born, the Italian progressive rock, admired and adored by thousands of fans also abroad.
Milano, the youth, the 70s, the terrorism, but above all the music. Easy to be overwhelmed by the images of the story that is invented, the band does not actually exist (or maybe it does?) But surely Algozzino’s passion for music is real and strong. After all Sergio has already been the protagonist of several comic books on the greats of music, from Fabrizio De Andrè to Ozzy Osbourne. Of course he is also known and appreciated for his works on the monthly Linus and on the characters of Nellie Bly and Dylan Dog.
The card is a tribute to the comic band, from which it takes its title, and being in Milano in the 70s, also to the two Milanese teams with the shirts of the time, the boys of the group with that of AC Milan and Tiziana, the singer, with that of FC Inter. “The Devils” and “the Beloved”, after all.
It is almost obvious to involve Sergio Algozzino in an evening where the stickers meet the music through comics. In fact, the Sicilian author will take the stage of the BologninAlive next June 8 to let us listen to the songs of The Oniric Factory of Sound (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhCVnxfIDkM), accompanied by the Bolognese singer Giulia Mei. So does the band exist or does it not exist? Who knows, to find out you will have to come to Bologna and have the book and our card signed. FREE ENTRY. It will also be the first official presentation of the volume, released in early 2021.

Fumetto Forever Card #6: SALATI & BARDUCCI!
“SOSPESO” is a splendid graphic novel released for Tunué editions in 2018, the main character is Martino, a teenager from Milan at the beginning of the 90s. We are very happy to highlight this little gem of Italian comics, a story that is a hit to the heart, perhaps necessary, perhaps for someone not understandable, but absolutely to read.
We therefore involved the two authors: GIORGIO SALATI (Milan), an author known above all for his Disney and Brina stories, a highly successful title also on an international level. This is another reason why the work on SOSPESO leaves people unmoved, the themes are completely different ARMIN BARDUCCI (Bozen), cartoonist and graphic designer with very interesting productions, often outside the box. In everyday life he teaches drawing to children and works as an educator
The card, like all the previous ones, maintains a sporting connotation. The choice is not accidental, Martino also in the book claims his passion for the Los Angeles Lakers. Armin could have created a design that echoed the classic NBA cards and so it was but in the setting of the suburbs of Milan, as is the comic strip, where Martino lives.
Giorgio Salati is not only a cartoonist but also a good songwriter (here his latest video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kn3Lz9tj_iM), for this reason the presentation of the card will be a special evening where the “figurine” meet the music, through comics.
Giorgio Salati at BologninAlive, Tuesday 8 June 2021, signs copies of the book and the sticker. FREE ENTRY.

Fumetto Forever Card #5bis: PATRICK ZAKI!
“We want the Scudetto! Our championship is the release of Patrick Zaki ”. We were pleasantly surprised by the great success of our Patrick Zaki solidarity card initiative with the Bologna 2020/21 shirt. The 150 copies sold out within a few days. We asked ourselves the question of what to do, our productions have a strong sense of collecting, a reprint was not viable.
So we thought of creating a new, different “figurina”, thanks to the confirmed availability of Gianluca Costantini. This time Patrick wears a legendary shirt for all the Bolognese, 1964/65 season with the Scudetto on the chest, thanks to the unforgettable match won last June at the Olympic Stadium in Rome against Inter.
The message is clear and strong, there is only one championship at the moment: Patrick Free Now.
For this new edition we have also planned a particular print, 150 numbered copies are planned, but it will be an “on demand” production. From today the pre-order starts, interested people can optionally as many copies as they wish, if the number of requests exceeds the expected 150, a higher number will be printed, 200, 300 or whatever will be necessary. Of course always numbered.

Fumetto Forever Card #5: PATRICK ZAKI!
FIGURINE FOREVER for PATRICK ZAKI and AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL!
The FumettoForever Card # 5 has an important meaning, we wanted to contribute to the appeal of hundreds of thousands of people who ask for the release of Patrick Zaki, the young activist in prison in Egypt since February 8, 2020. We have joined the campaign promoted by Amnesty International and for this reason the entire proceeds are destined to the Volunteer Organization.
The availability of Gianluca Costantini, one of the most popular cartoonist in the graphic journalism genre and who on many occasions has supported the campaigns for Patrick’s release with his time and his pencil, is fundamental. Why the Bologna shirt? We want to underline, once again, that Patrick is one of us, he is a citizen of the city of Bologna. Furthermore Patrick is a football fan, he plays well and went when he could to see the matches at the stadium, our hope is to be able to soon deliver him a copy of the card here in Bologna, in His city.
Presentation of the card on Wednesday 26 May at 18.00 at A SKEGGIA, the headquarters of the FOREVER ULTRAS of Bologna, which we thank for their availability, the curve of Bologna has also in the past shown sensitivity on this issue as can also be seen from this banner displayed before of a match.

Fumetto Forever Card #4: ALBERTO MADRIGAL!
The first non-Italian Comic Card! Even if the legendary Alberto Madrigal is a great friend of the “Belpaese”, often present at our comic fairs and many collaborations with Zerocalcare and other local publishers and authors.
Anyone who reads Alberto’s comic stories knows that he has long since moved to Germany, so we liked to imagine an alternative life of the character Javi as a footballer: thanks to his performances with the Berlin club (Hertha or Union? you choose) he earns the call-up in the Spanish national team!
Thanks again to Alberto for taking part in our solidarity stickers project.

Fumetto Forever Card #3: NATHAN NEVER!
Fans of science fiction know that there are several parallel worlds, on Earth 2 the history of football has some differences. Season 1970/71, fresh Cagliari champion of Italy tries to climb to Europe. An important reinforcement from Gardalas arrives, Nathan Never, to form a STELLAR attacking couple with Gigi Riva. After a first period low profile, Never left its mark on 21 October 1970, first leg of the round of 16 of the Champions Cup: with its hat-trick Cagliari beat Atletico Madrid 5-1, for which a 3-0 victory will not be enough in the return match. Subsequently to fall under the blows of Never will be Legia Warsaw, Ajax and Panathinaikos.
Cagliari are European champions!
We like to imagine Nathan Never as a Cagliari player, which is why the kit he wears is the championship of the 1970/71 season.
The initiative was made possible thanks to the availability and collaboration of BEPI VIGNA (co-creator of Nathan Never) and the cartoonist Andrea Buongiorno aka BUONG.
Vigna and Buong have created together the comic book on the history of Cagliari, it seemed right and a pleasure to propose this successful couple!

Fumetto Forever Card #2: LEO ORTOLANI!
When we contacted Leo to make a card, the problem for him of not being a fan of football or other sports was easily overcome. The genius of the author of RATMAN immediately fell on L’ARBITRO (the referee), an absolute protagonist of football as much as the players. Not?
What Leo did not calculate is that in this way, we hope, we will have the excuse to involve him again next year, where there is the referee there must also be a linesman. Don’t you find?
Cinema fans cannot fail to remember a famous film with Lando Buzzanca, called The Referee, a jewel of Italian comedy to be rediscovered, if you do not know it yet.
We want to thank Leo Ortolani for joining our initiative with an unpublished drawing that will surely be appreciated by the many comics fans of the famous Emilian author.
