From lambiek: “In 1981 Igort launched the independent magazine Il Pinguino Guadalupa with a group of post-punk authors like Daniele Brolli, Roberto Baldazzini, Lorenzo Mattotti and Giorgio Carpinteri. Accompanied by Marcello Jori and Jerry Kramsky, the young artists eventually teamed up in the avant-gardistic art group Valvoline in 1982. They had their first manifestations in the pages of the Linus supplement Alter with the ‘magazine within a magazine’ Valvoline Motorcomics, and then with their own section in Frigidaire. Later contributors to the group’s productions were Massimo Mattioli and the American Charles Burns, who resided in Rome at the time. Valvoline marked a turning point in the world of international comics. The experimental artists mixed old genres and techniques and reformed them into new narratives. Their work even ran in Art Spiegelman’s RAW anthology.”
