Gore scanners #7
In "Il pallone," a 1990 Italian comic from Ediperiodici, a man's simmering frustration reaches a breaking point after yet another rejection from his neighbor. As he drinks and imagines her dead, the woman suddenly appears, battered and in need of help—leading to a violent turn neither of them expected. Written by Carmelo Gozzo and illustrated by Dino Simeoni, with the cover also by Simeoni, this issue delivers a tense, psychologically charged story rooted in isolation and sudden, explosive consequence.
In "Il pallone," a tourist witnesses something impossible: teens playing soccer with a dead man’s head, a scene so grotesque it defies belief. When the police dismiss his account, he takes matters into his own hands, plunging into a nightmare where the line between reality and horror blurs.
In a grim corner of the Hudson River’s edge, a homeless man pulls a suitcase from the water—inside, a woman’s lifeless body. When he sees her husband’s desperate plea on TV, he makes a haunting decision: he’ll return her himself, walking through the city’s cold shadows with a secret only he carries.
In "Pene d'amore," a man tormented by rejection turns to alcohol and dark fantasies after another rebuff from his neighbor. When she finally reaches out for help after being brutally attacked in her apartment, his bottled-up anguish erupts in a way that blurs the line between protection and punishment.
