Astisendo Grupo Editorial Monkton El Loco Comic Spanish Blue . Mad Monkton, a work by the English writer Wilkie Collins with illustrations by the Sevillian artist Fidel Martínez, opens —along with The Lost World, by Arthur Conan Doyle, revisited by Sagar Forniés— the Illustrated Classics collection by Astiberri, where a complete novel or a compilation of stories by a benchmark author of literature is graphically interpreted throughout the book with a series of illustrations, mainly full-page, by a comic book artist.Headed by Mad Monkton, the stories gathered in this anthology by Wilkie Collins, a contemporary author and personal friend of Charles Dickens —it was the author of Oliver Twist to whom he owed his popular recognition—, have in common a sly tone, which sometimes even tends to the parodic, and a marked everyday accent.In its pages you can see Collins´s instinct for suspense and his ability to lengthen, twist, weave and reinvent his convoluted plots, which earned him praise and admiration from authors as diverse as T.S.Eliot or Jorge Luis Borges, who considered him the master of intrigue.Stories that Fidel Martínez has approached with equal respect and passion to give us illustrations with evocative black and gray strokes on white that, although they refer to masters of drawing such as Alberto Breccia or José Muñoz, demonstrate a manifest personality of their own.With this proposal, Astiberri intends to take a step to strengthen ties between literary classics and comic book authors, providing an unprecedented iconographic vision to date, in which the illustrator is also a storyteller by profession who seeks to be respectful of tradition and at the same time contemporary.The Astiberri Illustrated Classics collection will continue in the coming months with titles such as Solomon Kane, by Robert E.Howard, with illustrations by David Rubín, or The Golem, by Gustav Meyrink, which will feature the graphic work of Santiago Valenzuela. tradeinn Techinn
