Michael Rocchetti, alias Maicol & Mirco, will also abandon Lucca Comics. The cartoonist, an expected guest of the event, made it clear through a series of tables drawn in a reel published on Instagram. Talking to a friend who calls Gino, who asks him “what are you doing here? Aren’t you in Lucca?”, the cartoonist replies that “no Gino, no Lucca Comics this year”.
So, the friend replies: “Are you crazy? With three books coming out?” and the cartoonist: “Eh, but this year we can’t go to Lucca, there is the patronage of the Israeli embassy in Italy. Well, have you seen the mess in Gaza? We committed authors can’t pretend nothing happened.” And to ‘Gino’ who points out that “everyone knows that you are in solidarity with the Palestinian people”, Maicol & Mirco replies: “Yes, but people are distracted, it is necessary to point out always and everywhere. And then it is for a good cause not It’s hard for us to give up.” Maicol & Mirco is a designer for the Bao Publishing publishing house, the same as Zerocalcare which had first deserted the event.
