Description
The highbrow and lowbrow collide in unique and surprising ways in this graphic novel collection of four genre-mixing stories as funny as they are exemplary. The styles are merged in a masterful way–Latin American dictators blend with science fiction, comedy with gore–but youth boredom and the desire for happiness rise above all else. A smoking, drinking Superman who seems to be more a result of dirty realism than magic realism; bored teenagers who entertain themselves by killing zombies or who flee to Earth on their way to Mars; post-adolescent love and rites of passage; and a combination of sadness and action fill the pages of this book.
La alta y la baja cultura chocan de un modo �nico y sorprendente en esta recopilaci�n de cuatro historias tan divertidas como ejemplarizantes que mezclan g�neros. Los estilos se funden de manera magistral–dictadores latinoamericanos combinan con la ciencia ficci�n, la comedia con lo sangriento–pero encima de todo se alzan el tedio juvenil y el anhelo de felicidad. Un Superm�n fumador y borracho que parece m�s fruto del realismo sucio que del realismo m�gico; j�venes aburridos que se entretienen matando zombis o que huyen de la Tierra camino de Marte; el amor post-adolescente y los ritos de paso; y una combinaci�n de melancol�a y acci�n llenan las p�ginas de este libro.Ready to ship in 1-2 business days
