A brief and frequently repeated scene from my childhood, circa 13 years old:
“I’ve been walking for about 20 minutes, down windy cobblestone roads, in the unmitigated heat, sweat pouring down my neck. I finally reach the “piazza,” or the central plaza of my little Italian town, and I go to the giornalaio (newspaper vendor) and revel in anticipation . . . you see, today is the day the new Dylan Dog comes out.”
