Astisendo Grupo Editorial Basura Comic Golden . A Journey into the Secret and Immense World of WasteThe author of My Friend Dahmer changes gears and tackles what happens to the mountains of waste we produce, a universe he knows firsthand.Every week, we pile our garbage in front of the door and it disappears... as if by magic! The reality is quite different, of course.Trash, Derf Backderf´s work that follows his landmark My Friend Dahmer (Astiberri, 2014), the story of the serial killer known as The Milwaukee Cannibal, is an ode to the dirtiest job of all: garbage collector.Anyone who has ever been stuck in a depressing job will identify with this story.Trash follows the raucous adventures of three twenty-something friends who clean the streets of piles of smelly detritus, while also suffering the unbearable bureaucrats of a small town, their eccentric neighbors, the stifling summer heat, and the freezing winter storms.Trash is a work of fiction, but it is inspired by Derf´s own experiences as a garbage collector.Intertwined with this comic epic of stinking bins and exploding bags are non-fiction pages detailing what our waste is and where it goes.The reality is astonishing.So hop on the garbage truck called Betty and embark with Derf on a journey into the secret and immense world of waste.The real star of Trash is the trash itself: how we deal with it and how we don´t. As in My Friend Dahmer, Backderf´s greatest strength lies in illuminating the unpleasant things we don´t want to know about, but can´t help but stare at in horrified fascination. It leaves us contemplating our inability to curb the sheer amount of waste we generate every day, week, year, and so on.Robert Kirby, The Comics Journal. tradeinn Techinn
