Diabolik Kidnaps Chef Bruno Barbieri?

An unexpected crossover: Diabolik and Bruno Barbieri . This edition of Lucca Comics & Games 2024 promises a twist that will surprise comic book fans and food lovers. Diabolik, the King of Terror, crosses paths with the starred chef Bruno Barbieri in an unpublished and unconventional story. Titled "The Rules of Hotellerie", the special issue is a project by the famous screenwriter Tito Faraci, with drawings by Giuseppe Camuncoli and Elia Bonetti.

The appointment is set for Saturday, November 2 at 2:00 p.m., during Foodmetti, the program that combines cooking and comics, hosted by Lucca Comics. Here, Barbieri will talk about his passion for Diabolik and the experience of working with the authors to give life to a unique story, where the allure of crime mixes with the elegance of signature cuisine. It doesn't end there: in an improvised culinary challenge, Tito Faraci and Giuseppe Camuncoli will compete in the kitchen to prepare a dish that seems to have come straight from the pages of the comic: the iconic spaghetti all'assassina ! Watching over them, with his critical eye, will be Barbieri himself, ready to judge their performance.

Collectors and fans of Diabolik will have one more reason to participate: Le Regole dell'Hôtellerie will be distributed exclusively at Lucca Comics & Games, available free of charge to anyone who purchases at least 20 euros at the Bottega Foodmetti or orders the Foodmetti Menu at the event's Osteria.

This album is not just a comic book story, but a true collector's item, available only during the festival and created in collaboration with the International School of Comics and Grafiche Stella. Crime, haute cuisine, and the art of comics come together in this unmissable event that will transform Lucca into a true theater of mystery. A unique opportunity for Diabolik fans and for lovers of the surprises that only Lucca Comics can offer.
