DECODER
(Shake Edizioni Milano - 1994)
WELL WELL WELL ... STOP THE MIDGETS, AND THAT GOES FOR YOU TOO, BEANPOLE, I’M ALREADY TIRED TO DEATH OF YOUR STUPID TUFT, SO DON’T EVEN TRY TO ANNOY ME FURTHER!
CHILDREN!, THIS IS THE LEGENDARY BADGE OF THE POLICE. I’M SHOWING HIM AS A MATTER OF PROCEDURE, BECAUSE IN FRONT OF SUCH A BIG GUN IT’S BETTER TO REMAIN QUIET AND PEACEFUL, WHOEVER WIELDS IT, RIGHT? GUYS, YOU BEGIN TO HANDCUFF THESE KIDS.
GIANLUCA 29 MISSERO
CAPTAIN, BEST COMPLIMENTS FROM ME AND THE SQUAD FOR THE SPEED AND EFFICIENCY IN CARRY THROUGH THE ARREST. WE WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT WE DO NOT CONSIDER YOU RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT LITTLE SOD’S ESCAPE (MY SQUAD WILL CATCH HIM THE SOONER), AND WE GUARANTEE WE’LL EMPHASIZE IT IN OUR SUBSIDIARY REPORTS. THANKS SERGEANT. ON THE OTHER HAND, YOUR DUDES GOT A SINGULAR EFFICIENCY, SO LET’S SPLIT THE MERITS 50%, COME ON. ASSHOLE... 10 TOTS AND A SEVENTEEN, DRESSED AS FLASH GORDON, PLAYING FOR A CYBER-CASINO FOURTH-RATE NETWORK, USING ORTHO-OPTICAL JOYSTICK AND A MICROMAX WORKSTATION AS A SERVER (HARDWARE OUT OF PRODUCTION BY AT LEAST 5 YEARS!) , AND YOU TALK TO ME OF COMPLIMENTS, EFFICIENCY ... “MY SQUAD WILL CATCH HIM THE SOONER”... I HOPE HE’S HOLED UP IN A SEWER, SO AT LEAST YOU ALL SHIT UP HEAD TO TOE.
BUT I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY NO ONE HAD WARNED THEM. LATELY THEY REGULARLY WERE INTERCEPTING CALLS TO THE O.C. ... LAST MONTH WE CARRIED OUT AN OPERATION WITH THE “CORKSCREW” AT SUKUMOTO PALACE, WE WENT DOWN TO AN AIR CONDITIONING OUTLET, AND THEY WERE THERE, YOU UNDERSTAND ?, THEY WERE EXPECTING US! I HAD TO THROW TWO LIGHT GRENADES TO MAKE WAY. FORTUNATELY, MOST OF THE PLAYERS DIDN’T SUFFER OF LIFETHREATENING INJURIES, SO THEY WERE ABLE TO PROVIDE VERY INTERESTING INFORMATION.
HMMM... A MEDIUM-RANGE ATOMIC BOMB IN EVERY LEISURE CENTER OF THE POLICE, AND THESE IDIOTS WOULD BE DELETED FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH. METHOD IS MANDATORY. BUT THEN? THEY WOULD ENROLL EVEN MORE MORONS... SERGEANT, I KNOW YOUR REPORTS BECAUSE, UNLIKE MY PEERS, I HAVE THE TENDENCY TO INVESTIGATE ABOUT WHAT’S GOIN’ ON IN OTHER DISTRICTS.
UH, EXCUSE CAPTAIN ... BUT THE PROCEDURES IN SALVEMINI-WILKINS PROTOCOLS DON’T ALLOW A DIRECT CONSULTATION OF ARCHIVES THAT BELONG TO OTHER DISTRICTS... THAT’S ENOUGH. YOU STAY HERE UNTIL THE TEAM CONNECTIONS COMES. AS FOR THE PROCEDURE, KEEP IN MIND THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ENOUGH LET YOU TALK A LITTLE LONGER, AND NOW I’D HAVE THAT INFORMATION ANYWAY. IT’S UP TO YOU. GOOD MORNING.
GIANLUCA 30 MISSERO
NICE VOICE, SIR. FAREWELL, WTF ARE YOU SAYING? WHAT’S THIS BUTLER-LIKE COMMENT?
NICE JOB, FROSTY. WHO WAS HIM? POL POT? SULEIMAN? PERHAPS COUNT VLAD TEPES?
GOOD MORNING CAPTAIN! ... SELF-DEFENSE, HE HAS THREATENED US WITH A MACHINE GUN. WE HAD TO FIX IT. RIGHT, GUYS?
- COFF EHR...
YES, INDEED. YES, INDEED. OH WELL, WE CAN LEAVE HERE, FAREWELL. GOOD MORNING GUYS. CAPTAIN, WATCH THAT GUY IN THE RAINCOAT.
NO! I MEAN ... JUST REALIZE WHAT THIS DEMENTED IS DOING! RIGHT IN CENTER UPTOWN! IT’S 2:00 PM!
STOP HERE, I JUMP ON HIM AND PROCEED WITH THE ARREST. YOU COVER ME, OKAY?
AN EXHIBITIONIST! I HAD NEVER SEEN ONE IN ACTION!

THERE’S ONLY ONE THING TO DO:
HEE-HAAAW! JEEZ, THIS GUN IS AWESOME!
WOOOOOW! IT’S FUNNY!!! YEAAAH! WOO-HOOO!

MESTRE IN BIANCO E NERO Comic history of Mestre for
Progetto Aurora (1985)
THE CITY FACES A NEW BIG INVASION...
... THE CONCRETE
THE VENICE AREA INDUSTRIALIZATION, ONCE SATURATED ANY AVAILABLE SPACE IN THE CAPITAL, CONTINUES IN ITS MAINLAND SUBURBS. THESE ARE THE BOOMING YEAR; PORTO MARGHERA KNOWS A PROGRESSIVE AND UNSTOPPABLE DEVELOPMENT. NOTHING SEEMS ABLE TO STOP THE INDUSTRY THAT SACRIFICES EVERYTHING: HISTORY, TRADITIONS, URBAN PLANNING, IN THE NAME OF A MYTH CALLED PROGRESS.
