Book SynopsisDiscover the definitive and beautiful author’s edition of the classic graphic novel The Crow.When James O’Barr poured the pain and anguish of a personal tragedy into the drawings that comprise The Crow, his intensely cathartic story of Eric—who returns from the dead to avenge his and his fiancée’s murder at the hands of a street gang—resonated with readers around the world.

Now this special hardcover release of the 2011 edition continues the legacy of The Crow<

Book SynopsisLa edición monumental y definitiva de todas las viñetas de Mafalda «Mafalda es una heroína de nuestro tiempo.»- Umberto Eco Quino se pasó muchos años demostrándonos que los niños son los depositarios de la sabiduría. Lo malo para el mundo es que a medida que crecen van perdiendo el uso de la razón, se les olvida en la escuela lo que sabían al nacer, se casan sin amor, trabajan por dinero, se cepillan los dientes, se cortan las uñas..., y al final -convertidos en adultos miserables- no se ahogan en un vaso de agua, sino en un plato de sopa. Esta edición definitiva de Todo Mafalda incluye todos y cada uno de los dibujos que su genial creador, Quino, hizo de sus personajes, incluyendo un ingente material inédito.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThe monumental and ultimate edition of all of Mafalda’s strips. “Mafalda is a hero of our time.” —Umberto Eco Quino spent many years proving that children are the custodians of wisdom. The downside is that, as they grow up, they gradually lose their sense of reason, they forget in school what they knew at birth, they enter loveless marriages, they work for money, they brush their teeth, they clip their nails... and in the end, already turned into miserable adults, they don’t drown in a glass of water, but in a bowl of soup. This ultimate edition of All of Mafalda includes every single drawing its brilliant creator, Quino, did for his characters, including a massive amount of unpublished material.
