Alberto Breccia Book order (chronological)

Alberto Breccia to jeden z najważniejszych artystów w historii komiksu. Ogromny wpływ jaki wywarł na pokolenie rysowników z lat 70. i 80. XX wieku jest niezaprzeczalny. Jego adaptacje prozy Lovecrafta wydają się pochodzić z innego wymiaru. Rysunki przepełniają dziwne faktury, kolaże, wizje zrodzone z niezwykłej wyobraźni zaskakują i porażają oryginalnością nawet 50 lat po ich stworzeniu. Szeroki wachlarz technik graficznych pozwolił wspaniale oddać klimat opowiadań arcymistrza kosmicznego horroru, H.P. Lovecrafta.

This is a psychedelically drawn, boldly political retelling of the 1950s graphic novel The Eternaut, whose imagery is still used as a symbol of resistance in Latin America to this day. The 1950s version of The Eternaut, a seminal Argentine work, is drawn in F. Solano Lopez’s clean, orderly comics art style. In the 1969 reboot, the darker tone is reflected in Breccia's Expressionist art. In The Eternaut 1969, the great world powers have forsaken South America to alien invaders, and POV character Juan Salvo, along with his friend Professor Favalli, metalworker Franco, and neighbor Susanna, join the resistance in Buenos Aires with the knowledge that the outside world will not come to their aid. Through the lenses of these timeless characters, the politically prescient creators ask readers to consider the implications of global domination by the "great powers" before it’s too late.

Published in 1969, this Argentine graphic biography about Ernesto Che Guevara was an instant bestseller, banned by a military dictatorship, and almost lost -- and it has never been available in English. Until now.

Alberto Breccia's Dracula is composed of a series of brutally funny satirical misadventures starring the hapless eponymous antihero. Literally defanged (a humiliating trip to the dentist doesn’t help), the protagonist’s glory days are long behind him and other, more sinister villains (a corrupt government, overtly backed by American imperialism) are sickening and draining the life out of the villagers far more than one creature of the night ever could. This is the first painted, full-color entry in Fantagraphics’ artist-focused Alberto Breccia Library, and the atmospheric palette adds mood and dimension. It also includes a sketchbook showing the artist’s process.

Alberto Breccia is recognized as one of the greatest international cartoonists in the history of comics and Mort Cinder is considered one of his finest achievements. Created in collaboration with the Argentine writer Héctor Germán Oesterheld, best known in the U.S. for his politically incendiary sci-fi masterpiece, the Eisner Award-winning The Eternaut, Mort Cinder is a horror story with political overtones. This episodic serial, written and drawn between 1962–1964, is drawn by Breccia in moody chiaroscuro. The artist’s rubbery, expressionistic faces capture every glint in the eyes of the grave robbers, sailors, and slaves that populate these stories; while the slash of stripes of prisoners’ uniforms, the trapeziums of Babylon, and more create distinct and evocative milieus.
