The French scriptwriter and comic-book artist Amazing Amaziane will be guest of Romics for presenting “Muhammad Alì” ( BD Edizioni). Eater of comic-books of Frank Miller, punches and kicks of Bruce Lee and Soul music from 1966/1976 decade, Ameziane worked as art director, illustrator and graphic designer. In 2001 he started his career as a comics artist writing several scripts. Together with Paco Ignacio Taibo II, his favourite writer, he collaborated to the comics adaptation of Cuatro Manos followed by “Bag Man”, “Muhammad Alì” and many others . Ameziane divides his work between scripts, crime comics, cinema, the projects with Taibo II and those with Sybille Titeux.
At Romics Amazing Ameziane presents “Muhammad Alì”, scripted by Sybille Titeux. The comics biography describes since the childhood the path of Cassius Clay, “the greatest boxeur of all time” who recently passed away. Olimpic golden medal, world heavyweigh championship, sport icon in the “Boxing Hall of Fame”; but also activist in civil rights, contemporaneous of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. Cassius Clay, whose new name will become Muhammad Ali, faces any obstacles with the strength of who knows how to roll the punches and react blow for blow.
