Proposals

Here you'll find some proposals I've developed over the last years, complete with a few pages to offer a glimpse of the mood, style, and spirit of our work.

These are all stories still looking for a publisher, looking for a home.

Yomi-no-kuni
writer.  Francesco Preti
artist & colorist. Daniele Palmieri


Eiji Shingeru was a loyal samurai, a devoted husband, a loving adoptive father. But one mistake cost him everything: his honor, his family, the life he once knew. Disgraced and turned ronin, Eiji sets off on a solitary journey between life and death, determined to bring back from Yomi - the land of the dead - the two people to whom he had given his heart: his wife and his adoptive child.
To do so, he will face legendary swordsmen, ancient spirits, and most of all, himself - until he learns that to defy death, one must first make peace with life.

Dust Devils
writer.  Francesco Preti
artist & colorist. Alessandro Saiu

In a bleak and melancholic West, Ugly Tom’s gang lives off robberies and heists. But this dangerous life carries a quiet unrest - a price that Tom and his two partners, Hunter and Jessie, will have to pay.
An outlaw by nature, Hunter will discover love, only to realize he can’t afford it, or perhaps that he never deserved it. Jessie, scarred by a humiliating adolescence, will chase a dangerous fame in a desperate attempt at redemption. Tom, always longing for a quiet and domestic life, will renounce peace once and for all to honor a long-lost promise of love.
Between a bank robbery and a train heist, the three outlaws will come to understand the silent sacrifices demanded by a life without compromise.

The Poppy Summer

writer.  Francesco Preti
artist & colorist. Alessandro Falzi

On the eve of the Great War, in a secluded village at the foot of the Venetian Alps, Martino and Filippo struggle with their insecurities, the cruelty of their neighbors, and their fathers’ expectations.
What keeps them going is their enduring friendship and a shared dream: to one day build a small house of stone and wood, nestled among the fields. To build a quiet and simple life, just for the two of them.
When the King offers land to those who enlist, the war suddenly feels like a path to that dream. They both volunteer, but Martino is rejected. One leaves, one stays behind. Still, they write to each other every week. Until a landslide buries the Italian front. Filippo is missing.
Martino sets out to find him, willing to risk everything to save him, to keep their promise alive.
