THE GEMINI METHOD
THE GEMINI METHOD
Brooklyn butcher apprentice Mike Dioguardi takes advantage of the fact that he wears the
same name as mobster John Dioguardi to pass himself off as a member of his
family and enter the world of “business”. Having become a senior executive of a
bank, this new position allows him to launder money and dedicate himself to
drug trafficking, selling stolen cars and contract killings.
The efficiency of Mike and his gang of self-employed crooks,
attracts the attention of Don Tonino, an important member of the Sicilian mafia who
decides to sponsor him. Mike Dioguardi will then be admitted to the
“Onorata Societa” despite its Calabrian origin and will confront a world
much more violent and dangerous. He will gain some notoriety because of
the method of eliminating his enemies called the "Gemini Method" named after the bar
behind which he killed and dismembered his victims. But his fall will be all
as fast as his rise in New York's crime underworld. Inspired by
the true life of Italian-American gangster and cold-blooded killer Roy DeMeo,
Spanish author Magius takes us into the heart of the New York mafia of the 1970s.
70 with a genre narrative and dialogues in the pure style of the film Les
Scorcese's Goodfellas. With a use of primary colors
yellow-blue-red that evoke pop art and a clear line drawing with a sauce
pulp, he invents a retro and electric aesthetic that fits perfectly
the atmosphere of the time. Corruption, assassinations, hemoglobin, drugs,
prostitution… All the ingredients are combined in this surprising and unique
album THE GEMINI METHOD which will certainly become THE reference in terms of comics
of gangsters!
