Alberto Breccia (an Argentinian comics artist who was truly one of the greats) and Juan Sasturain’s politically charged post-modern masterpiece is collected in English for the first time in a seriously solid piece of hardcover book design. This phenomenal work follows a political dissident who travels Latin America with several like-minded freedom fighters (including, it would seem, Argentinian author Jorge Luis Borges) encountering despotic regimes and absurdist characters, all the while evading the clutches of a sinister death squad. It’s all the more remarkable given that it was created while Argentina was still in the grip of a terrifying dictatorship, where those who spoke out were routinely disappeared.
