DescriptionAnd now for something completely different!This is page 5 from Chapter 4 (The Necessary Enemy) of Book 1 (The Pilot of Oblivion) of Alberto Breccia’s Perramus: The City of Oblivion (page 29 overall – what a mouthful), his incredibly important work of graphic literature created in 1983 along with writer Juan Sasturain. Perramus was a scathing look at Argentina’s modern history. As stated by Breccia himself, “The main reason for starting Perramus was the need to give testimony of everything that had happened in Argentina during the period of the military dictatorship, and it was my duty to do so. Was, and still is, my only weapon, and with this weapon, I protest, Perramus was a cry of protest, a cry of revolt.” Breccia, originally born in Montevideo, Uruguay in 1919, moved with his family to Buenos Aires, Argentina when he was three years old. A self-taught artist that grew up in a very working-class world, he submitted his art to various publications and was published as early as 1937. In 1938, he would leave the factory he worked in to permanently work as an artist. Notwithstanding humble beginnings, Breccia would become one of the most globally influential artists of his generation. Social/Sharing |

Love the art in this story! Visual masterpiece. Amazing. I'll admit a lot of the narrative goes over my head. I'm assuming due to my lack of knowledge on the history.

So many great levels and patterns achieved through the wash and yet there is a lot of detailed linework that emerges as well. It's is all to present that history is not just dry facts, and has more nuance.

The well crafted work of a master who not only understood comics but also what they could aspire to.
