Disappearing in the Footsteps of the Yeti and the Kalash PeopleTyto Alba and Gabi Martínez adapt the second novel, Only for Giants, into a comic book. The novel tells the story of Jordi Magraner, a zoologist from Valencia who went in search of the Yeti and ended up murdered in the Pakistani Hindu Kush under circumstances that remain unclear.On August 2, 2002, Jordi Magraner, a zoologist from Valencia who spent his youth in the French town of Valence, was found dead in his home in the Bumburet Valley (Pakistan).Jordi had arrived in the Pakistani Hindu Kush fifteen years earlier in search of new animal species, although his main objective was to find the Yeti.Jordi traveled through northern Pakistan and northeastern Afghanistan as part of his scientific research and constantly struggled with French and Pakistani authorities and institutions to obtain funding and permits for his expeditions.He carried out remarkable humanitarian work in defense of the Kalash - a pagan people surrounded by Muslims - and, at the same time, began to become an uncomfortable figure, increasingly so with the expansion of Taliban influence.A few years after Jordi Magraner´s murder, Barcelona writer Gabi Martínez learned of his story and traveled to Pakistan to speak with the protagonists, immersing himself in the investigation of Jordi´s death, still unsolved more than 10 years after the event.The result of his work was his novel Only for Giants, and now, its adaptation into a comic book with the art of painter, screenwriter, and illustrator Tyto Alba.For Gabi Martínez, in a way, there is no greater gift for a narrator than a personality like Jordi Magraner:Monolithic characters are a thing of the past. After so many novels, movies, and TV series, I think it has become clear to us how malleable we are, the number of angles that shape us, and Jordi was an exemplary individual because of the number of contradictions he held within himself.A fascination that has also sprouted in the film director, Agustí Villaronga, who is pursuing the film adaptation of Gabi Martínez´s story.Tyto Alba insists on the importance of the main character as one of the great things about this novel and how Gabi has managed to make his figure believable.As a cartoonist, having to bring to life and movement a character as complex as Jordi, whom I cannot fully understand, makes me let myself be carried away by him and in a way, it is in these circumstances that the drawing style and narration of the entire comic have been shaped. tradeinn Techinn
