THE BLACK HOLES

A beautiful and macabre fable
about the yearnings of youth.
Gloria, Laura and Cristina want to start a
punk-inspired band called The Black Holes.
They have everything they need: attitude,
presence, instinct... and an alarming lack of
musical training. They barely have time to start
rehearsing when a strange presence appears:
a reminiscence of something that happened 160
years before is back to haunt one of them.

REST IN PEACE
Disturbing and revolutionary,
Almendros is the voice
of a new generation of
Spanish graphic novels.
R.I.P. uses an absolutely radical and original
technique to tell us of his struggle to overcome
depression and agoraphobia, get past his father’s
accidental death, and help his sister, who has
leukemia. Beyond the content, what is most striking
about this book is its graphic treatment and its
style: from an oneiric perspective, the story is
told through three characters who all represent
the author: the Ego, Superego and the Id.

 THE BRUGUERA
SCHOOL

During the 20th century Bruguera was home to the great Spanish school of comics or “te-
beos”, with cartoonists such as Vázquez, Ibáñez, Víctor Mora and Jan. Characterized by a
humorous component and by scathing satire, well-worked scripts and easy-to-read draw-
ings, the characters of Bruguera chart the transformation of Spanish society during the 20th
century; they also offered a means of escape to a society chided by the Franco dictatorship.
However, in addition to forming part of the Spanish imagination and representing the
“Spanish hallmark” of strip cartoons, the Bruguera characters also have a contemporary
dimension that makes them relevant characters today: Mortadelo y Filemón, Rompetechos,
Anacleto, Carpanta and Superlópez are just some of the many that are regarded as mod-
ern classics today.
THE BRUGUERA SCHOOL
Penguin Random House is marking the relaunch of the leg-
endary publisher BRUGUERA with the publication of some
of the most emblematic comic books or tebeos by Francisco
Ibáñez, Víctor Mora, Vázquez, Raf and Jan.
“Bruguera was part of the sentimental education of several
generations and it contributed to shaping the social and cul-
tural identity of an entire country. We now have an opportu-
nity to make all this content available to readers once more”.

Superlópez is a Spanish comic book

An antihero, born as a parody of Superman, he

In his many adventures, Superlópez encounters
lost races, aliens, robots, mad scientists,

current social issues such as drug trade, tax
