Astisendo Grupo Editorial Videojuegos (leyendas Urbanas) Comic Black . Reinventing Urban Legends: Video Games, by David Sánchez, and Conspiracies, by José Domingo, open a new thematic collection where comic book authors appropriate the codes of modern folklore that constitute urban legends to reinvent them with their own keys. Urban legends are always with us.From the vanished hitchhiker, to organ theft, sects trying to control the world, pets ending up in the microwave, or surprises that lead to more than embarrassing situations, these modern popular fables are part of the collective unconscious and do nothing more than exorcise the fears of our society. In this new collection, which launches with a first installment, Video Games, by David Sánchez, and a second, Conspiracies, by José Domingo, comic book authors appropriate the codes of this modern folklore to revise and reinvent it with their own keys.From the story told at a youth camp by the bonfire, to the rumors that swarm and spread on the internet, or the testimony of a friend of a friend, these tales adapted to our modern society, which usually involve anonymous people in events that occur in precise and real places, but with an unexpected or shocking outcome, continue to be transmitted and versioned, beyond borders and generations.David Sánchez and José Domingo are now part of this chain of collective reinvention: in Video Games, David Sánchez, the author of Never Change (Astiberri, 2012), focuses on the urban legend of Polybius, that psychedelic arcade machine with supposedly devastating effects on the minds of players, and operated by strange men dressed in black.For David Sánchez, Polybius is an urban legend that has a lot of elements that I find interesting and aesthetic, such as mental manipulation through subliminal messages and the whole series of disorders that it could cause, such as hallucinations or nightmares, and it is also one of the few urban legends that has a different narrative structure, without that surprise ending that almost all of them have.In Conspiracies, José Domingo, the author of Adventures of a Japanese Clerk (Bang, 2011), delves into the heart of secret societies through an enlightened and talkative character who sheds his particular light on conspiracy theories: Freemasons, Illuminati, Skull & Bones, and a hodgepodge of sectarian groups go hand in hand in a Machiavellian plan to control our lives and create a new world order. tradeinn Techinn
