Podcast appearances and mentions of Chuck Austen

This is it, folks! The PSYCHIC RESCUE episode!

Oggi vi voglio parlare di un animale dal nome enigmatico: azazèl. Lo avetemai sentito? Non stiamo parlando del personaggio inventato da Chuck Austen e Sean Philipsper la Marvel Comics. Anche se hanno affermato di essersi basati sulla Bibbiaper creare questo personaggio, padre di Nightcrawler e amante di Mystica, nonsomiglia assolutamente all'animale descritto nelle Sacre Scritture. Piuttosto, sembra che, nello scegliere un disegno demoniaco, abbiano trattospunto da un'antologia di racconti di stampo umoristico dello scrittore IsaacAsimov intitolata per l'appunto Azazel. Infatti, in questa antologiatroviamo racconti come Due centimetri di demone (The Two-CentimeterDemon), I danni dell'alcol (titolo originale (The Evil Drink Does).Anche lo scrittore egiziano Youssef Ziedan ha detto la sua con il romanzo Azazel,che fa riferimento a eventi presumibilmente veri del V secolo d.C. Ma che cosasignifica davvero “Azazèl”, e perché fa parte della rubrica sugli animali?La parola ebraica “Azazel” si traduce “capro che scompare”, e ricorre quattrovolte nella Bibbia, sempre in ferimento alle norme relative al Giorno dell'Espiazione,note anche come yohm hakkippurìm (lett. “giorno delle coperture”).L'etimologia di “Azazèl” è controversa. Se ci atteniamo all'ortografia deltesto masoretico ebraico, ʽazàzel indicherebbe una combinazione di due paroleche significano “capro” e “scomparire”. Da qui il significato di “capro chescompare”. Secondo un'altra derivazione, basata sulla credenza che ci sia statauna trasposizione di due consonanti, significherebbe “forza di Dio”. La Vulgatalatina rende la parola ebraica caper emissarius, cioè “ilcapro emissario” o “il capro espiatorio”. In greco è usata la parola apopompaíosche significa “colui che porta via (scongiura) il male”.Due capri (capretti) venivano presi dal popolo ebraico nell'annuale Giornodell'Espiazione. Tirando a sorte, un capro veniva sacrificato, l'altro inveceveniva mandato via. Quest'azione simboleggiava da una parte il perdono deipeccati (con il sacrificio cruento), dall'altro l'azione di perdonare edimenticare (il mandar via l'animale dal territorio). Per tirare le somme, dunque, “Azazèl” è il nome di due capri (capretti) chevenivano usati nell'adorazione, durante l'annuale sacrificio che serviva aricevere il perdono.

Pues aquí está ya nuestro Moore de la temporada en este monográfico que va a tratar de abarcar una obra que desgraciadamente tal vez es más conocida por su accidentadísima andadura editorial y legal, que por su contenido. En 1982 y rescatando al viejo Marvelman británico, aparecía en las páginas de la revista Warrior, de la mano de un joven Alan Moore y Garry Leach el primer capítulo de esta historia que, tal vez por su errática publicación es menos conocida que otras obras como Watchmen o V de Vendetta, pero que para nada les va a la zaga y con las que tiene muchas cosas en común. Llegarían después otros dibujantes como Alan Davis, John Ridgway, Chuck Austen, Rick Veitch o John Totleben y la serie pasaría del Reino Unido a los USA en un caótico maremagnum de derechos que ha tardado décadas en solucionarse. Repasaremos punto por punto todo este asunto, pero tan solo como preliminar de contexto para una obra que por sí sola tiene muchísimo más que contar y de la que tal vez se ha hablado menos de lo que merece. La noche es caliente como el infierno. Todo se te pega. Una asquerosa habitación de un asqueroso barrio de una asquerosa ciudad. El aparato de aire acondicionado es un pedazo de chatarra que no podría enfriar ni una bebida aunque la metieras dentro.
