More and more... There also are Atlantis and then the Future of the Future or Technobiological wars and the "Technodroids", Sapiens and Ultra-Sapiens races, Brotherhood Shade, Temporal Rings... and Nathan Never that always plays a decisive role in the world's fates. But this is another history (a possible history)...
Pessimisme. In this scenery Nathan Never moves, whose adventures with science-fictioned background are often a metaphor of our reality, of our actual society's contrasts (poverty, racism, bio-etics, loneliness, corruption...), problems amplified from the future
Nathan's histories are often veined by a "characteristic" pessimism, that also bears from his tragic personal history that we can hardly resume in few lines: the only data we can report are that his wife, Laura Lorring, has been murdered by a criminal, Ned Mace, that Nathan wanted to hunt out. Ann, Nathan's daughter, abducted and for a long time imprisoned by the same Mace, now is autistic and sheltered in an institute. Nathan bears the blame of his wife's homicide and of his daughter's illness, also because in that period, in a moment of incomprehension, he betrayed his wife...
Nathan's character is hard and melancholy, but Nathan is never cynic or insensitive. He has never lost the trust in the ideal of justice, but he has some doubts on himself and on the world surrounding him. Nathan's vision is Jansenistic: although the world has changed, man is always the same: bad.
The authors. Medda, Serra e Vigna began to collaborate in 1986 with Bonelli writing texts for Martin Mystery and then for Dylan Dog. In 1988 they begin to define Nathan Nemo (this must be the name of the character). The official Nathan's date of birth can be considered 11 November 1989, because in a reunion in Milan, came approved the plan: the heading would have arrived in newspaper kiosk in June 1991.
The complex universe "three Sardinians" have built in the long years of preparation, has strengthened Nathan's histories, but, perhaps for a fate's joke, although the "background" is about science-fiction, the best histories tell about single or groups' "torment", not about bold and innovating science-fictioned tricks. With a small effort many histories could happen at present. Because in his future technology is, also, a threat, but man is always the biggest threat...
