Astisendo Grupo Editorial Fraternity Spanish Comic Brown . Adventures between fantasy and political utopia Díaz Canales, writer of Blacksad, and Munuera, artist of The Moon Game, join their talents for the creation of Fraternity. Since the dawn of time, man has unsuccessfully sought a perfect model of society.Robert McCorman, a wealthy idealist, believes that the time has come and founds the New Fraternity colony in the heart of the United States.But these are bad times for utopia, as the country bleeds to death in the fratricidal Civil War (1861-1865).Emilio, a wild child raised in the forest and educated in the colony, will experience firsthand the dramatic events that will culminate in the appearance of an amazing creature in the forest.The three-year realization of Fraternity which collects the two volumes published in France that make up the series has not been easy, as José Luis Munuera acknowledges, a work that the Murcian artist places within the specific subgenre of ideological adventure that Oesterheld, Muñoz and Sampayo, Pierre Christin or Felipe Hernández Cava have brilliantly traveled.The comic navigates between very different waters, from fantasy to political utopia, from ethical discourse to drama, and there was also the romantic element.Putting all that in the same bag and having it hold together with the necessary organic unity was a tremendous headache, says the artist of The Moon Game.Juan Díaz Canales, immersed in the search for a convincing and at the same time attractive historical framework to place the script that would address questions about whether coexistence is possible under equal conditions, duties and rights or whether it is possible for the human being to reach a social model that guarantees equality, he came across the story of New Harmony, a commune created and financed by the utopian socialist Robert Owen in 1825 in Indiana: Our New Fraternity is a somewhat anachronistic transcript of that experience and a large part of the characters in our story are more or less deformed reflections of some of the actors in that utopian adventure, confesses the also screenwriter of Blacksad.Finding the right graphic register was indeed a challenge, both due to the difficulty posed by the juicy script of the Madrid native Díaz Canales with a tempo that, from the contemplative, from the relaxed, accelerates until the final climax, and the need to try to control -adds Munuera- my tendency towards very overacted cartoon so that the characters wouldn´t clash.The understanding, also creative, between scriptwriter, artist and colorist -careful work by the Baracaldés Sedyas-, and the passion poured by all of them to find the right tone, are endorsed by the solidity of the result.Díaz Canales has written a story of oppressive environments not without poetic elements.Munuera stands out for his sense of framing, a dynamic staging and a mature, realistic line.(.) The story is consolidated with the somber colors delicately used by Sedyas.Actua BD. tradeinn Techinn
