Oesterheld (The Eternaut) and drawn by Alberto Breccia (Report on the Blind, The Myths of Cthulhu), who had previously collaborated on Sherlock Time, and is considered one of the most important works of comics of all time.The pages reproduced in this edition come mostly from direct scans of Alberto Brecci´s originals.The rest has been printed from the best quality materials we have been able to locate.This edition features a prologue by Juan Díaz Canales, winner of the National Comic Award as the writer of Blacksad and author of Como viaja el agua, who underlines in the prologue of this work:Mort Cinder is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces of black and white.Few authors have used light with the mastery of Breccia, capable of mastering at the same time a realistic graphic style and an expressionist staging, playing like the masters of cinema with the psychological and symbolic value of lighting.For Díaz Canales it is a comic that, far from aging, seems immortal and still surprises us with its impressive modernity. tradeinn Techinn
