El juego lúgubre

Astisendo Grupo Editorial El Juego Lugubre Spanish Comic. Paco Roca plays with fiction and reality. The Valencian author seeks with El juego lúgubre to sow doubt about the real and the imaginary and to transmit a certain uneasiness. We are in 1936, a time of artistic and political upheaval. Fascism is becoming increasingly powerful in Europe. In Spain, the civil war is about to break out. Jonás leaves Madrid and travels to Cadaqués (Girona) in search of a quiet place, but an atmosphere of mystery surrounds the small fishing village. Its inhabitants are terrified of the painter who lives on the beach of Port Lligat. Salvador Dalí, the Catalan surrealist painter, is going through his most eccentric and brilliant creative stage. He needs the land of Cap de Creus to paint. And as Jonás will discover in the days he spends at his house, he also needs its people to give shape to his nightmares. With certain parallels in the plot in homage to Bram Stoker´s Dracula, Paco Roca aims to sow a certain uneasiness in the reader with this work: Terror is very difficult to do in a comic, however, there is a comic strip, The Fall of the House of Usher, Richard Corben´s adaptation of Poe´s famous story, that left him deeply impressed. tradeinn Techinn
