Astisendo Grupo Editorial Historias Del Barrio Caminos Comic Multicolor . Thefts, drugs and beatings in an environment of poverty, illness and systematic lack of affection within the family nucleus, which are intertwined with expressions of friendship, havens of vital peace and the search for tools to find a place in the world is the framework in which Historias del barrio moves.Caminos, by Gabi Beltrán and Bartolomé Seguí, a portrait of the Chinese quarter of Palma de Mallorca in the early 1980s, its corners and its people, starring Gabi and the rest of his teenage gang:Benjamín, Cuco, Ramos, Sáez, Tárraga or Pololo.From independent reading to its predecessor, the texts and colors of Gabi Beltrán and the drawings of Bartolomé Seguí delve into the autobiographical world of the screenwriter described in Historias del barrio (Astiberri, 2011) and which concludes here.The intertwined stories, in which the line that separates hope from fatality is sometimes very fine, are nourished both by the concise, direct style, with short, sharp sentences of Beltrán, as well as by the loose stroke, measured frames and gallery of captured gestures, which reflect the graphic ability of Seguí.The set they create with four hands transmits sincerity, emotion.Gravity sometimes gives way to evocation and tenderness, while decision-making for choosing some paths and not others takes on a decisive importance.In addition, together, Gabi and Tomeu -recognizes the editor, translator and writer Óscar Palmer, Mallorcan like them- have recreated with great fidelity and disarming honesty a Palma de Mallorca that, to a large extent, has ceased to exist:the noises of the air conditioning have replaced the aroma of melon and watermelon that appeared in summer from all the open balconies of the neighborhood, and the wonderful cellars of the center.Historias del barrio was awarded the 1st Ciutat de Palma Comic Award and has been translated into Catalan, French and German. tradeinn Techinn
