Astisendo Grupo Editorial Las Aventuras Del Capitan Torrezno Volumen 1 Horizontes Lejanos Y Escala Real Spanish Comic Golden . Embark on a wild ride with "The Adventures of Captain Torrezno Volume 1: Distant Horizons and Real Scale." This Spanish comic saga, a cornerstone of 21st-century graphic storytelling, plunges you into a bizarre world born from a forgotten basement. Follow Captain Torrezno, a flat, enigmatic figure, as he navigates fratricidal wars and collective hysteria. Championing obscure causes in a land of religious fundamentalists and nostalgic eccentrics, Torrezno´s unintentional heroism blends epic scale with dark humor. This edition features a new cover, insightful prologue, and exclusive color appendix, offering a thrilling introduction to Santiago Valenzuela´s unique, Borges-esque universe. Many, many years ago, in a dilapidated basement on Madrid´s Calle Valverde, an old civil servant unknowingly created a civilization of religious fundamentalists, peanut collectors, and electric heater nostalgics.In the midst of this chaos of fratricidal wars and collective hysteria, a character of dubious origin, flattened figure, and few traces of a redeemer lands, his name is Captain Torrezno.Thus begins one of the fundamental series of 21st-century Spanish comics, which Astiberri now recovers with the present publication of The Adventures of Captain Torrezno Volume 1.Distant Horizons and Real Scale, the first two volumes of the saga by Santiago Valenzuela, originally published by De Ponent in 2001 and 2003, respectively.This compilation includes a new cover, a prologue by critic Iván Galiano placing the series in context, and an 8-page color appendix with the original covers and other interesting graphic material that Valenzuela has rescued from his archives.Both this first installment and the new release The Adventures of Captain Torrezno Volume 7.Anamnesis, will be available simultaneously in bookstores, and will be followed by volumes 2 (Endless Limbo and Beyond the Walls, scheduled for release in January 2024), 3 (Provincial Capital of Pain and The Dark Years, May 2024), 4 (Plaza Elíptica, winner of the 2011 National Comic Award, and The Morning Star, September 2024), 5 (Babel, January 2025), and 6 (The Last Bender, May 2025).Straddling epic and humor -maintains Jorge García in Tebeosfera-, Captain Torrezno is a fish out of water, a tavern drunk transferred to the Microworld, a territory of heroic fantasy whose affairs he interferes with unintentionally.By chance, Torrezno becomes the champion of the besieged city of Deeneim, defending interests as obscure as those of those he fights against.In sequences skillfully dosed throughout the story -García continues-, Valenzuela cunningly drops hints that things are not what they seem.Moreover, like a good chronicler, he records the vicissitudes of the Microworld and the different cosmogonies generated by its inhabitants, thus constructing an imaginary universe that his admired Jorge Luis Borges would have read with pleasure.Santiago Valenzuela is, clinically, a gifted individual. Santiago Lorenzo, author of Los asquerosos and Tostonazo. tradeinn Techinn
