Cartoons & comic stripsThe Colibrillo Cat
La huella de Krazy Kat y George Herriman en Argentina
by Roberto Iglesias
George Herriman with his “The Krazy Kat” was one of the architects of the comic. His merit was that despite the patronage of his admirer, the American press mogul William R. Hearst, he never lost or betrayed his creative freedom. However, translating his work into Spanish in Latin America was not an easy task, much less for writers who had to adapt their strip to the Argentine idiosyncrasy. In the following pages we will try to investigate his work, its problematic translation into Spanish and its journey in one of the main Argentine newspapers of all time. George Herriman con su “The Krazy Kat”, fue uno de los arquitectos de la historieta. Su mérito fue que a pesar del padrinazgo de su admirador, el magnate de la prensa estadounidense William R. Hearst, nunca perdió ni traiciono su libertad creativa. Sin embargo traducir su obra al español en latinoamericano fue tarea fácil y mucho menos para escritores que tenían que adaptar su tira cómica a la idiosincrasia argentina.

FantasyThe Divine Language
by Gabriela Fonseca
The Roman Emperor Constantine believed that newborns knew the language of heaven but forgot it as soon as they learned to talk. To preserve the language, he built a palace where he held dozens of babies, fresh out of their mother wombs, and nurses who where in charge of feeding them and keeping them clean, but without touching them or speaking to them. As a result, all the babies withered and died without even crying. Despite this cruel outcome, a secret society was created with the purpose of finding and preserving the divine language the Emperor so desperately sought. Fast forward to 1960s Mexico City where Griselda is born in a family with a devout Catholic mother and an atheistic father. She was born eleven years after the death of Aaron, their first born, a boy who despite his young age, was completely devoted to God. Upon turning eight, Griselda suffers an accident that leaves her clinically death for ten minutes. Her mother, convinced that it was Aaron who resurrected her, becomes obsessed with getting the Church to canonize him, and ends up leaving Griselda to be raised by her father. Years later, and already a college student, Griselda adopts a boy left orphaned by the 1985 earthquake. His name is Moses. Griselda raises Moses as her career as a college professor takes off and she is hired by an international institution that gives her a house, a great salary, and puts Moses in the Luden Trask Mansion, where an important anthropological and historic study is taking place. Griselda finds a passionate relationship, while Moses, already twelve, suddenly and mysteriously disappears. Griselda will soon find out that the Luden Trask institution is just a cover for a powerful and secret society that is still trying to accomplish Constantine’s mission, and that they have abducted Moses. Now, Griselda faces a terrible dilemma where she may have to pay the highest of prices to save her son.

Humour collections & anthologiesOctober 2022Incomplete works (2015-2022)
by Lorenzo Montatore
In recent years, Lorenzo Montatore has demonstrated an unusual ability to combine a variety of references. In his works we can see the influence of literary classics, key figures from graphic humour, comics, music and, of course, 8-bit videogames. This all combines to create a highly original approach to the language of comics, praised by fellow industry professionals and critics alike. In 2017 and 2021 he was nominated for the Cómic Barcelona awards in the best new author and best children’s comic categories. Restless and prolific, in addition to collaborations with major publishers, Montatore has created numerous self-published offerings. Obras Incompletas compiles a major part of the fanzines that he has published over the last five years. It also includes unpublished comics and plenty of additional material: photos, sketches, texts providing background to each piece, a complete interview by Gerardo Vilches and a prologue by Rubén Lardín allowing the reader to enjoy a total immersion in the fascinating imaginary world of an author who manages to blend tradition and modernity to make, in Max’s words, “pure comics”.
