(W) Marti Riera Ferrer, Art Spiegelman (A) Martí Riera Ferrer (CA) Marti Riera Ferrer Coupling the grand guignol morality of Paul Schrader and Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver with the squashed black-and-white perspectives and grotesque human physiognomy (and humanity) that defines Chester Gould’s Dick Tracy, Martí’s The Cabbie (starring the eponymous “hero” known only as the Cabbie) was first published in installments in 1980s Spain, a product of a life lived under, and coming out of, Franco’s fascist dictatorship.In Volume One (initially published in 2011), the Cabbie’s father’s coffin is stolen in an act of vengeance for the Cabbie’s vigilantism — right after his mother tells him his inheritance is inside! Cabbie takes to the mean streets in a quest to find it. In Volumes Two and Three (both never before available in English), Cabbie runs the gauntlet of mad science, dog races where the dogs chase humans, evil millionaires, presidents, and popes in addition to every nightmare scenario imaginable. Ultra violent, ultra profane, and ultra vicious, The Cabbie is filled with scummy noir

Maus nos cuenta la historia de Vladek Spiegelman, un judío superviviente del Holocausto, y de su hijo, un historietista que intenta reconciliarse con su padre, con la terrible historia de este y con la mismísima Historia. La forma de este relato, un cómic (donde los nazis son gatos y los judíos, ratones), logra desposeernos de cualquier atisbo de cercanía que podamos tener con los hechos que aquí se refieren, y lo consigue precisamente porque se acerca a lo inefable empleando formas diminutivas. Como ha señalado el New York Times Book Review, este libro es «un formidable hito, que aporta el detalle de un documental y la viveza de una novela… un suceso literario de primer orden».

(W) Si Lewen, Art Spiegelman (A/CA) Si Lewen A hauntingly original wordless illustrated novel by forgotten master Si Lewen, with an introduction by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Art Spiegelman. Si Lewen's Parade is a timeless story, first published in 1957, told in a language that knows no country, a wordless epic that, despite its muteness, is more powerful than the written or the spoken word. Reproduced in a unique two-sided accordion-fold format with an extensive overview of the artist's career on the verso, The Parade is a celebration of art and the story of recurring war as Si Lewen experienced it over the past 90 years, watching the joyful parades that marked the end of World War I lead into the death marches of World War II and the Korean War. As The Parade unfolds, the reader is taken on an unforgettable journey of sequential images. Available in a standard edition, The Parade is also available in a Limited Edition of 150 copies with an original art print by Art Spiegelman, signed by Lewen and Spiegelman.
