CHE-A GRAPHIC BIOGRAPHY

Rodriguez, Spain

Εκδότης Verso , ISBN 9781786633286

Since his murder 50 years ago in Bolivia, Ernesto "Che" Guevara has become a universally known revolutionary icon and political figure whose image is among the most recognizable in the world. This dramatic and extensively researched book breathes new life into his story, portraying his struggle through the medium of the underground political comic-one of the most prominent countercultural art forms since the 1960s. Spain Rodriguez's powerful artwork illuminates Che's life and the experiences that shaped him, from his motorcycle journey through Latin America, his rise to prominence as a leader in Fidel Castro's revolutionary movement, his travels in Africa, his involvement in the insurgency that led to his death in Bolivia, and his extraordinary legacy.

Συγγραφέας

Spain Rodriguez was an active participant in the revolutionary underground comix movement of the 1960s and ’70s. Born in 1940, Spain grew up in a Buffalo, NY, and later lived in New York City. He attended the Silvermine Guild School, an art and design school in Connecticut. After living in New York with fellow artists Kim Deitch and Trina Robbins, Spain moved to San Francisco where he became involved in the thriving underground comix movement. Spain’s contributed to the groundbreaking Zap Comix along with R. Crumb, Victor Moscoso, Gilbert Shelton, and others. Influenced by his working-class background, Spain created the character Trashman, a Marxist superhero fighting for the working class. Spain’s apocalyptic fight scenes in this and other series led some to dub him “the Jack Kirby of underground comics.” Spain has published My True Story (a collection of Spain’s biographical and historical work) and Trashman Lives! with Fantagraphics, and a collection of his “Big Bitch” stories with Last Gasp. He has also contributed to anthologies including Skull, Zero Zero, The Comics Journal Special Edition, and BLAB!. Fantagraphics released his first graphic novel, an adaptation of William Lindsay Gresham's classic noir novel, Nightmare Alley, in 2003 and a collection of his autobiographical short stories, Cruisin' with the Hound, in 2012.
