What Size Bauer Skates

YEAR. CHRISTMAS. HAVE I LOST

(PROGRAMME thousand words. 10 December 2009)
Today for reasons of the calendar is the last Thursday of 2009 in which comic book talk Radio Betis. Still do not know if in 2010 the waves again, we are negotiating the contract, but the fact is that in a bad year, I found this place to talk about one of my favorite hobbies, comics, comics, the narrative sequence, or just comics. In addition, for the punishment of listeners and readers, I speak in half in very difficult times I has helped to feel, at least, distracted and write, or excite me believe I do, on a blog created for that purpose.

If recapitulate what has been said in recent weeks from July I must say that everyone I've talked to have been authors that I like, I love. It was in July when my career on the airwaves began with the master Hergé and continued with Hugo Pratt. Then came Superman, Conan, Asterix, Disney, Captain Thunder, The Jabato, The Warrior's Mask, Snoopy, Cutler, Spirit, Milo Manara and some others. We have approached the female and Iranian comic, the comic epic, that of humor, adventure, the superhero, and terror. And luckily we are genres untreated.


continue to imagine that in 2010 Green Arrow, what speak?. I still have issues that I wanted to talk, mostly Hispanic comic. I owe one to Cuto, Mortadelo and Philemon, Peter Leak and Otilio, Zipi and Zape, Anacleto, Sir Tim O'theo, Rompetechos, 13 Rue of the Barnacle. I feel compelled to talk about Area 84, 1984, Cairo, Cimoc, Comix, The Viper, Thursday, Makinaja, Historias de la Puta Mili, Martinez on Facha .... And among those who do not belong here I do not want to forget Moebius Milton Caniff, Al Capp, Alex Raymond, Oesterheld, Guido Crepax and Pastoras Das. Or what is almost the same, Flash Gordon, Prince Valiant, El Che, Lib'l Abner, Spiderman, Tarzan ... ..


But today is the program for me last year, the Green Arrow, because I do not know if I ever invite to a gathering, so it occurs to me remember Christmas in the comics. In stories the hero is American Santa Claus appears in stories in which superheroes hyperreality of the world mixed mutant super powers and a mythology and a much older tradition. And the general feeling is that Christmas is for children. In Spain we have more thugs and the protagonist is the turkey, but rather how to kill the turkey, there has been no English cartoon family that prides itself and has not had this history may inaugurated the Family Ulysses. But networks have fallen Christmas himself Captain Thunder, the Warrior Jabato and Mask. With stories created for the occasion, where the Christmas messages conveyed good wishes, good intentions and Christian love, one would expect!. Mortadelo messages, Anacleto and Bruguera simpa Hispanic tribe were more thugs and taking the Christmas holiday for his part, the feast, grapes and champagne (pardon because this is pure Mecano). And Zape Zipi and never forgot the Magi and the desired and inaccessible bike. And as the year Don Slipper distributed either a voucher for a portion of the bicycle, foot or bike.


In order that Christmas, as in our lives, has altered the normal course of the existence of the cartoon characters and normal behavior, so as a good green arrow I will make a request the contributors to this program:
  • Carmen, a faithful follower of comics and aware of the opera, one day, any day, we put an aria that I love, Nessun dorma. It is a final act aria from the opera Turandot by Giacomo Puccini, whose title translates from Italian as no one sleeps. And that explains what it means.
  • Maria, extreme sports, one day he will speak to us the common and popular racing the half marathon, Sevilla, Los Palacios. Paco Pineda
  • give us a remedy to have the joy and strength he has
  • A Borja advise us to be fair and be treated fairly.
  • A Paul we talk about Juan Salvador Gaviota. With his voice Argentina will do very well the role of narrator of any story.
  • A Stephanie to tell us about his great work on Batman.
  • David to tell us about Walt Whitman and Pablo Neruda. Please.
  • And Carlos, Carloco storytellers, tell us two classic tales, The Selfish Giant by Oscar Wilde and The Capote of Nicolai Gogol. And that the Disney project we finish.
Finally I recommend to listeners who want to please this Christmas to ask the Kings books, whether in comic books, whether novels, whether trials. You have to read. Christmas images that I remember with great pleasure Super Humor are the famous novels or my brother and I collect when and when Christmas fell on or Reyes, became extraordinary.
Thanks for reading this

Numbness In Upper Leg

Milo Manara?

(PROGRAMME thousand words. 3 DECEMBER 2009)
About ten or twelve years, with a situation still very economical, elegant and fellow student, ie very poor, some half-crazed editor decided to publish the complete works of Manara Maurillo, widely known by Milo Manara. This writer, like any good addict hoarding and collecting, and despite great effort, said the acquisition weekly until the kiosk where he bought them from closed overnight without warning. Through the glass of the booth could see who had reserved copies and could not collect, for lack of money, I must say. The fact is that I was about to attack that place and collect the back issues, but I did not. And that was the first loss of Milo Manara.

Who does not know, about who should introduce Milo Manara. More than biography interested in knowing the work of one of the great cartoonists Italians, known for drawing the most erotic women (some call lubricate) the comic. But stay only in the image of an author is to relegate Manara erotic quality to specialist without initiative. According to her own statements about eroticism and adventure: "The Adventure as ethics, as a culture, as a way of life. The adventure is not passively follow the events. The adventure is self-determination", "Sex is a key component of culture . When fully live your sexuality, you break with the social brutalization. And when drawing erotic scenes is not free. I think that expresses one of the essential dimensions in man and is one of the objectives of the adventure. "
is because Italian intellectuals of the '70s, heavily influenced by ideas of breaking and fighting the system, communism, Maoism, the ideas of May 68, considered by all the political struggle, social struggle and sexual liberation. And no wonder, because the Italian company, but secular and democratic, a priori, since the 40's, was heavily influenced by the Catholic moral doctrine and the Vatican. And the adventure, at least the fictional, and sex, perceptions and practices constituted a form of argumentative evasion to official standards.

Manara, born in Bolzano, close to Austria and known locality for mathematics students to name a theorem, although those who enunciated, Bernard Bolzano was Prague, discovered a child's natural talent for drawing and illustration, so at first tries to devote himself to painting, but fails live it and begins working at a toy factory and as an aide to English sculptor Berrocal who lived in Verona. He then studied architecture at the University of Venice and in contact with Maoist organizations and cultural movements, as part of an artistic group.
All this training and influences are important to understand the dimension of artistic, intellectual and argumentative Milo Manara prints in his comics. Because Milo Manara not begin to attach importance to age 23, when he discovers Barbarella and adult comics. From that moment in comics Manara is a way of living and to exploit his artistic vocation. His early years as a comic series by children passes on thematic issues and pseudoerótica police.
"Monkey King" is her first major work, for many a masterpiece, in collaboration with writer Silverio Pisu. This work is based on a fantastic work of the sixteenth century China and tells the story of a humanoid, king of a people that has conquered apes and that immortality resignation to its rightful place in heaven to return to his village. The Monkey King embodies the revolutionary spirit and the courage to abandon the gentrification to be free. From an aesthetic standpoint, the work is wonderful, because it combines the oriental fine pattern which is based Manara its own personla and character. Although there are those who prefer the Chinese versions illustrated by saying that the comic book is much dirtier than the illustrations in which they claim is based. Package failure, because, and this is a great work, Manara not limited to copy and tell the original novel and make rubbings of Art, but that translates the novel to the story and provides original and different elements to illustrations, from the composition, dialogue and action.

It is from this point that the real race begins as a comic Manara quality. His meticulous and very clean design, its sense of space and detail, making it the ideal artist for a historical work, working with Larousse for a story in comics in France and Italy made a series on famous figures Attila history, Custer, Nobel or Helen of Troy.

Until 1977 all the stories have a script Manara you do not own, until the birth of HP. HP is the name of the adventurer that Manara created to become in himself and to live the adventures that he not live. As a tribute to another great adventure that he admires, Hugo Pratt, the creator of Corto Maltese, gives his name. In the first book, HP et Giuseppe Bergman, will, in Search of An Author Six Characters and Dies Irae (The African Adventures of Giuseppe Bergman 1 and 2) and later (1989) Tal Vez Dream (Oriental Adventures of Giuseppe Bergman .)

This world of adventure and eroticism make it a comic book character consgarado author. The 1983 publication of The Click also gives the critical acclaim, fame, popularity and money. While the title has been exploited in a series it leads, in time, to The Click 4. The Perfume of the Invisible, is his other great success in the form of erotic comics, which we must add works as Gulliveriana, Kamasutra, The Art of Whip, which explores sensual land from the lightest SM to the gendered tansversión Jonathan Swift's classic.

Manara enjoys a good reputation, so much has been chosen by Fellini and Almodovar to illustrate and translate their scripts. The result of this collaboration is Journey to Tulum, scripted by Fellini, a wonderful work that reflects a exactísima is how the holy city of Tulum, which, thanks to my wife, I live in 2002.

His best collaborations come from the hand of Hugo Pratt. His two albums together, El Gaucho and Indian Summer, an episode of the colonization of New England are undoubtedly masterpieces. They are joined Pratt's poetry and drawing tormented Manara. And both shocked Europe.
The reason why is Milo Manara a genius does not lie, as I said before, in the shocking way that draws women and erotic comics. His training as an illustrator, architect, sculptor's assistant, will provide a point than other cartoonists. Is heir to an Italian school in which outstanding artistic quality of the drawing and is a great artist who has been able to work with the best writers and develop their own scripts. The depiction of the human face and Manara are worthy of study because it seems impossible that so few traces his characters to express such a variety of emotions. From his training as an architect, or his passion for architecture, must come the complexity that represents cities, buildings and scenery. An example of this is the vignette in which two Knights Templar fighting before a stunning setting, a large crenellated tower. In the face of the knights to guess Once the fear and stress. The scene takes on a dreamlike tone, moreover present in all the works of Manara, after dark. Shame we could not teach in this blog.

The second loss was recently Manara. Lent it to several friends, on the few notebooks, some five or six, and of fair quality, black and white A4 standard format, which had obtained from that collection. Life takes us many times when you do not pay attention to these things, so I forgot about the loan until I tried to sort my collection of comics. I know that Manara is not among my things, anyone who knows me knows that when I do look for something really, so I turned to the friends list to provide guidance on whom I had my comics. The truth is that all say letting me back, and remember vaguely that left them. I know they are wrong and their sin I carry my penance for having made these comics who do not appreciate having read HP or Gulliveriana. I do not think these fish again, but I hope it does not mean a loss and forgetfulness over Milo Manara, the Great.

WOMEN AND THE COMIC. X

(PROGRAMME thousand words. 26 NOVEMBER 2009)
Tilden First you did not macho, the intention of talking about women and comics is not intended as a listing of female characters displayed by the cartoons, but it is the day I write this is 25 November, a day that is remembered that there is still a macho culture and violence against which struggle and no end. Tracing

network for more documentation I have entered two main variants in the treatment of post "Women in comics", this feminist analysis of the role of women in the world of historeta and on the other side The "analysis" male characters appearing in comic strips. Ie which of the heroines' is more or less good. "
and many quotes are used from the beginning of this post, are on purpose, I would be very careful with this stuff and not fall into expressions that can be misinterpreted.
is obvious that the comic is primarily visual language and that it are drawn characters who have a physical splendor. The funny thing is that most of the comics that we can come to the imagination, and tend to be the superhero, men have a spectacular musculature and women are drawn highlighting their feminine attributes and with a garment that stands out.


The image of other comics is much more prissy, and, in many comics, women are helpless to those who need protection and care because they are unable to fend for themselves. Asexual beings are valid only as mothers or sisters. Or worse, are lousy, the villains, the man-eating, which show a much stronger sex.


However, only analysis of women in comics focusing on superhero comics, is very partial. Since the beginning of the story has been women in comics and their role and treatment varied depending on the seasons and the various achievements of women in society. I will speak only of a certain moment I want to emphasize.
Women American comics of the 30 is dependent on the hero, but independent economic, social and labor. The heroines of Terry and the Pirates, Superman, Flash Gordon and Tarzan, fighting, acting, have their own life, yes, about the hero. Not cease to be a reflection of the advancement of American society of the 30's, much more advanced in certain respects that of Europe, and in which women had begun to work and kept some independence, but not pull himself up to high places society.

English comics in the role of women has been lost, and often the woman is a housewife, Ulises Families, Chive and Trebizond, and Zape Zipi or work but as a secretary, or bologna and Anacleto Philemon. It is also the reflection of a society that enshrines in law the submission of women to men. Cases other than those of literature in comics aimed at girls, which topics do not go beyond how to marry well and be a perfect wife. Lily, Sissy, Azucena, My Girl, Florita, Mary News, part of the culture that said women could not but interpret what men actually gave. Getting out of that role were Doña Tula, Doña Urraca, and Sigrid, the first two because they showed a different woman, hardened and calloused by the war and its aftermath, vicious and hard to man, so they had problems with censorship. A woman could not hit a man About the limit!. Sigrid is another woman, endowed with great beauty and independent, with censor problems came on the other hand, politics and concubinage.

The progressive women's independence, independence itself but because they were not handcuffed, he discovered that they themselves own their bodies and sexuality. This results in that, in the late 60's, and for all 70, both film and comics, the representation of nudity and sexual connotations have intellectuals and freedom, not just sexual. Is the time of Vampirella, Barbarella, Milo Manara, Guido Crepax, etc ... This led

that over time and distorted the above sense, emergence of a comic in which women ceased to be hero and became just a sex object, tinged with pornography. (Kiss Comix, Penthouse Comics and various publications of purely masturbatory dyes).

But women do not only maintain a relationship only character in the comic but are authors and readers. As readers have been the most abused among all those who are targeted comics. Not because it is necessary to have specific publications for them, but because the authors have almost never considered that she read what they do and have cut off, by default, about half the world we inhabit.

As the authors properly emphasize that Maitena and Marjane Satrapi are not alone. Frank Miller's wife, Lynn Varley, appears in the credits of 300, I am sure that there is a reason of condescension, but because his contribucioón to color in this work is essential. This paper, ink or colored, has traditionally been the industry left in the hands of women or children because they felt their smaller hands could give more precision to work. The problem is that you never have recognized its merits.

This is changing and we can name a handful of Women: Claire
  • Bretécher, French great, much appreciated by critics, with illustrations and albums seem very original and fun, inspiring Bretécher Maitena is the author Argentina's current popularity.
  • Mary Fleener, American feminist of the seventies, considered a pioneer of comics feminine and feminist.
  • Jessica Abel, very modern both in its design as it recreates the world.
  • Julie Doucet, Canadian comic autobiographical responsible brave and without makeup.
  • Cathy Guisewite, American genius who portrays the world actual y las difícil comunicación con el llamado "sexo fuerte".
  • Lynn Jonston, canadiense, autora de historietas inspiradas en su propia vida de madre de familia.
  • Phoebe Gloekner, norteamericana, autora autobiográfica muy destacada por la crítica.
  • Debbie Drechsler, también estadounidense que denuncia en sus álbumes los abusos sexuales que sufrió en su infancia.
  • Marjane Satrapi responsable de un cómic muy personal, autobiográfico, en el que narra su infancia en el mundo cambiante de su país tras la caída del Sha.
  • Maitena.
Valga

this to complete and confirm that in this world have no place separation and discrimination, but we move in a world so male.

Wedding Programs Rememberance Wording

FRESH AIR. WATCHMEN. SUMMARY


(PROGRAMME thousand words. 19 NOVEMBER 2009)

often we will meet with works of an artistic genre twilight depleted that are designed to close that chapter and, unwittingly, become the work reference. It is possible that in the work are all topics for which distinguishes that particular genre, but a work is exceptional. What are otherwise "Pale Rider", "Spartacus" and "Ran"? With Watchmen happens. Suddenly, a work published in a period of stagnation of superheroes get alter the fundamentals of the genre, fusing all the topics and become a work and not exceptional, but a teacher. Among the key works of the ninth art, among the top ten, without clarifying the position because a lot depends on personal taste.



Why do I say this? It is, of course, a bold assertion. Take into account that he says can not establish the comic nothing more than a great love and he knows what he's talking or does so empirically derived knowledge base read as possible. No formal training in this regard. But I know that no wrong, because each new reading of Watchmen provides greater depth to the work and because it is necessary to provide this book, returning it to us, let us know if he claims to have read, it has, and if he did, if you read that right, and if you understand.


should read Watchmen. I know many readers say they prefer the European comic strip, closer and more humanized, and that, therefore, should be superheroes for children. They are wrong because this story is not Marvel or DC comic books to use. This is something else.


In Spain, now reissued as a book, and has the appearance of a graphic novel, plus the first releases of Watchmen are a limited series of 12 episodes. So this work is considered one of the crowning works of the comic book and graphic novel can not be considered a work conceived only as a novel but as a series, but also as a current series, but a closed set, cyclical, recurring and certain one-way from the very moment of conception. Something like what happened with the first LP's conceptual Sargeant's Pepper of Beatles and Pet Sounds of The Beach Boys.
But it is this that makes Watchmen a reference. Imagine all the families of potential superheroes, their coalitions, their appearances in other series, their enemies, the evolution of his personality, imagine addition, a human depth behind each of these characters, and, last but not least, imagine that this climate of permanent crisis, nuclear fear, fear of war, would have existed without the Watergate and Richard Nixon was U.S. president The truth is that this cocktail in my hand may not lead to anything, but between Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons completed this masterpiece.



speak of the various species of superheroes, because from the 30 to 80, appeared superheroes who were masked men, others who had superpowers to suffer mutations, others who had some power mythical or mythological others were simple soldiers, ... All the families are here and their union does not squeak.


Depression, the crisis of identity of the characters, the sense of failure, internal issues of each of the superheroes, who had been outlined in other series. Characters like X-Men, Spiderman, Batman, had some internal struggle, not without a dose of "pop psychology." This inner dialogue is more profound, there are characters who feel they have failed in their post-life superhero, who lead a more nondescript deprives them a sense of their lives, others lowing to be superior to a destination or must preserve the values \u200b\u200bof a society that has disappeared, and others, from its status as superheroes, looking at other humans as mere spectators.


The struggle between good and evil, as Manichaean in American comics, so focused on the balance between superhero and supervillain, finally, after all, so childish, no longer is. The inner struggle of the characters are joined lust, sex, money, madness, passion for doing wrong ... The superheroes are adults.


was recently made into a movie, Alan Moore, without even seeing it, reneging on the tape. Why? Watchmen was conceived as a choral work, in terms of characters and in terms of technique. Are planned vignettes, dialogues, text inserts, works displayed (comic within the comic), symmetry, self-reference, .... The author understands that this is not possible to translate it into a movie. All special effects were worth the world to please the artist Dave Gibbons, but nothing else. Perhaps Pixar with The Incredibles, would capture a little more sense of human life superheroes, albeit in a watered down version and very slightly basad the idea of \u200b\u200bloss of identity of a superhero.


To finish, a council must read Watchmen, several times. Each time you read, you discover new things, both in drawing and in history. It's like any essential masterpiece. Like any work of art, expendable. Because our survival depends not read it or not, but it will bring to life a time of enjoyment or frustration, and perhaps a new nuance to live it.

. CAPTAIN THUNDER


(PROGRAMME thousand words. 3 NOVEMBER 2009)
Just recently, for my birthday a friend gave me a comic book, which is the adaptation of three stories by Edgar Allan Poe. This is The Black Cat, The Cask of Amontillado and Manuscript in a Bottle. Aside from being grateful for this gift, I recalled that during a great period of my life the horror comic was my favorite genre. In large part because it was an adult gender could escape Parental possible.
The spate of terror that has invaded us these days to Halloween to talk about several journals that formed the nucleus of terror in Spain. Creepy I mean, Rufus, Vampus, Vampirella and Black Dossier. I take this occasion, opportunistically, because looking old comic magazines that I keep, I rediscovered a genius who almost forgot, this is Berni Wrightson.
Creepy

(creepy) was the name of the magazine, but also the character, medium body, medium zombie, which appeared on the cover and, as a host, we would introduce in the stories that differs. Here in Spain it was known as Uncle Rufus or Uncle Creepy, and was more sympathetic than terrifying.
During that time he got what he achieved only genius, tell me that out of his work, there was nothing interesting, nothing worth reading. His works, many of them adaptations of works by EA Poe, HP Lovecraft, and, later, Stephen King, or taking arguments of works of B horror films were shocking for a very elaborate script for short stories, an atmosphere and a breathtaking setting and a very clean design, clear line, which contrasted with a dark stories.
All this fascination with the terror began in the movies. The 50 gave Roger Corman and his production company, American International Pictures, the opportunity to create a subgenre that escaped the Hays code. Together with British producer Hammer, and movies The Crow, The Mask of Red Death, The Pendulum , managed to impact a generation. In the silent comics had their mirror in the Warren Publishing, which started production autoconclusivas short stories 4 or 5 pages to be the final story booklet superhero or war stories from Marvel. This format was very successful since the mid-60, Warren began publishing Creepy , which lasted until the mid-80's.
Warren artists specialized in fantasy and terrifying. Many of the vampire myths of werewolves, ghosts, began here. Sources drank scary movies from the 40's and the Gothic novel, and soon resulted in stories that were introduced major concern at that time, UFOs, aliens, the atomic age, nuclear annihilation. Gradually this genre was transformed and series like Vampirella allowed show sexiest shades with very suggestive dresses heroines, vamps with a very strong sexuality, etc., This made the horror comic genre in a more adult and also moved to the cinema, where it already appeared not only the virginal victim but in which a very forced, like in the comics, they were naked, apropos of nothing.
came a time when the American artists that was not possible to keep pace Warren monthly publications, as Creepy, Eerie and Vampirella, weekly stories and other comic books. It was the landing of the English. The editor Joseph Toutain traveled to America to sell and promote the artists of his agency Illustrated Picks, the head of Warren met him in New York and was surprised at the good quality of work were shown and the price is so incredibly Deals of the American market.
The effects were curious. There was a Hispanicized of Creepy and Vampirella became a English products made in the USA, the result almost exclusively Jose Ortiz and Esteban Maroto. Both the Americans wrote to the direction of Creepy protesting because Creepy was too English. On the other hand, Toutain, after years of consolidation of English authors, began the publication of the English Creepy in 1979 and was widely criticized for heavy reliance on material out of the Warren and his Americanization. However, for many English authors almost unknown here, the publication of these magazines are supposed to know in Spain, where they arrived and with the patina of winners come from the USA and they had some recognition editorial. Creepy
The English was sold as the first magazine of English horror genre. Although this was not true at all, Vampus, Rufus, Vampirella and Black Dossier were earlier, but were mere translations and reprints of American magazines. And, much earlier, in the 50's, Inspector Dan introduced the horror genre in English cartoon. What happened is that it introduced Toutain unpublished material in the U.S. and created expressly for this magazine. Mixed material from the Warren, with new authors and with classic, what, and yes indeed, the magazine became the first English, through the ranks, not in time.
Regardless of the American edition and English, appeared as the aforementioned authors Berni Wrightson, which highlight Fair Monster " strongly influenced by film" Freaks "Tod Browning , Richard Corben with stories that mix the fantasy genre, horror and suspense with its particular aesthetic, see for example " The Fall of the House of Usher " José M ª BEA Beroy ...
A memory attached itself to these comics. One story struck me in my childhood was "big picture" Bruce Jones. Featured in Black Dossier and I read it incomplete because he lacked the back. For several years I was without knowing the end, until in 1984 found it in a kiosk. I read the end and I'll never know if it was better not to have read and imagine for a lifetime.
