Giuseppe Bergman – Issue #9 – Giuseppe Bergman’ın Odysseia’sı (L’Odyssée de Giuseppe Bergman), Parantez Yayınları, 2007
Description:
This is Issue #9 and the final volume of the Giuseppe Bergman series, created by Milo Manara, one of the most influential and respected figures in European comics. Born on September 12, 1945, in Italy, Manara is internationally renowned for uniting refined visual artistry with erotic, philosophical, and introspective storytelling, a balance that has secured his reputation as both a master graphic novelist and a serious visual artist.
Throughout the series, Giuseppe Bergman functions as a metafictional reflection on travel, illusion, performance, and self-discovery. Often interpreted as Manara’s narrative alter ego, the character navigates worlds that deliberately blur the boundaries between fiction and reality, experience and representation. The series consistently questions what it means to live, to observe, and to tell stories, making it one of Manara’s most personal and intellectually layered creations.
In Giuseppe Bergman’ın Odysseia’sı (L’Odyssée de Giuseppe Bergman), the journey reaches its thematic and narrative conclusion. Drawing on the idea of an odyssey as both a physical voyage and an inner reckoning, this final volume brings together the philosophical, emotional, and self-referential threads developed across the series. Published in Turkish by Parantez Yayınları in 2007, this issue completes the nine-volume Turkish run released between 2005 and 2007, marking it as a key piece for collectors seeking the full Giuseppe Bergman cycle in its entirety.
