The guys from Calavera Comics have in their online store the long-awaited T-Shirt of Perro Tureco, buy it before it runs out.
Manuelita, Feven and Carlos E. already have their Perro Tureco.
In New York I went to Mocca 2009, to the presentation of Mekano Turbo, the new comics of Alexis Ziritt and Calavera Comics, was the first time I went to a Mocca and was great, I met great artists and got out with 2 bags full of comics.
Among all the people that I knew that highlights Frank Gonzalez, a very cool guy and a excellent painter, and Bagger43, a great designer and Illustrator, both were on the table of Calavera Comics, thanks for all the care that they had, and thanks to Bagger43 for gift me his two new books of sketches and the Kamen Rider Poster.
The Mekano Turbo comic book comes with its own soundtrack, with the participation of Zolrakether, Llanero Eléctrico, STATION!, Concupiscencia, DIGIPOL and Bruno Orbit, a sample of noise, experimental and industrial music from the apocalyptic future.
Mekano Turbo is the new comic of Alexis Ziritt (Zircons) and Calavera Comics, an excellent compilation of stories of great artists from different corners of the world, Gustavo Rugeles, Bruno Orbit, Josh Argerstrand, Gimetzco, David Gibbons, Chris Marra, Zach Trova, and the cover by Bagger43.
“In the year 2493, Earth’s wealthiest citizens left the planet behind. To make sure the unwashed masses could not follow them to their new stellar utopia, these kings of men unleashed a virus that caused the complete collapse of modern technology. The result: War. Starvation. Plague. Mutation. The great powers were wiped out. Fifteen years later, roving gangs of marauders and thieves run roughshod over the Venezuelan Wastelands, fighting over society’s scraps in ancient petrol-burning automobiles and 200-year-old battle-robots. Into this blasted landscape drives a man with one eye. A man with no fear. A man with no friends. A man called…Tuerto.”
Is ready the model number #0 from Perro Tureco, thank you very much to all collaborators for their excellent work, Carlos Etcheverry Borlo, Martín López, Diego Rondon y a Franco Rampaldi.
El Perro Tureco stopped at times to pursue the famous “El Silbón”, illustrious character of the Venezuelan imagery to become a representative anthology of Venezuelan comics, involving the visions of Venezuelan and Latin American artists, cartoonists, designers, and how many people exist within the scope of the construction of images.
Arises again from its founders the need, both as debt themselves, to see published one volume with the honors that he deserves the language of the comic, currently in this tropical land is scarce and thus we to fill this gap in the visual arts and graphics reinforce traditional cultural values that occur in Venezuela.
In short, PT is good to see printed in the mink role of artists and writers participating in it and want to perpetuate the graphic language.
It is an excuse to attract sequential graphic production, writing stories and literature if not enlightened.
Latin America is portraying through the chart.
Is to open a timeless space that allows to talk about what is happening at present.
It is a sort of treaty as a character vital. Is humanity.
Black and white, full machete.
Culture is to look through the comic.
PT now seeks to recover what has been sleeping in our Latin American culture, or as someone said at some point …. a culture indo-european-afro-american…
PT is Comic, and Comic is culture. Is to meet again after so long, joking and kicking ass. Is the use of a particular language, funny words, past tone, strong, heavy… in some ways a tribute to the story with sequential images.
¨We must create a world between two screams.¨
Over and out.
