Rafael Navarro Remarque - Sonambulo: Sleep of the Just

My second detective-themed post this week, after the Alack Sinner page posted earlier. 

I've seen Rafael Navarro at numerous shows throughout California over the last few years. At one small show at the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco, I bought the 25th Anniversary edition of his series, Sonambulo: Sleep of the Just and Rafael graciously drew the character on the title page. 

The book features the adventures of the title character, a 1950s luchador and detective. There's a lot to like about Rafael's work and fans of Darwyn Cooke's and sensibilities will find a lot to like about Sonambulo, now available in a 30th Anniversary edition. 

The soon-to-open Lucas Museum of Narrative Art evidently admires Navarro's work as well. His painting for the third issue of the Sonambulo series was acquired by the musuem for its collection of comic art. Can't wait to visit and see it in person!
