Abstract: Nathan Never è un fumetto di fantascienza. Il mondo che descrive, però, si rivela stranamente simile al nostro. Lo scopo di questo libro è quello di trovare tutte le affinità tra quel futuro e il nostro presente, similitudini che a lungo andare prendono sempre di più la forma di veri e propri allarmi per quelli che sono i nostri comportamenti odierni. La scoperta di un fumetto che fa di tutto per distaccarsi dalla scarsa considerazione generale che, erroneamente, spesso si ha di questa splendida arte, e che si rivela un profondo atto di riflessione sulla nostra società. Marco Gianotti vive a Castiglione dei Pepoli. Con questa tesi si è laureato in Scienze dell'Educazione all'Università di Bologna. Nel 2002 ha pubblicato il romanzo "Piccoli fiocchi di neve". E' un grande appassionato di libri, cinema, fumetti, musica e di tutto quello che può alimentare la fantasia.
