About the author
Alberto Breccia
104 books80 followersBorn in Montevideo, Uruguay, Breccia moved with his parents to Buenos Aires, Argentina when he was three years old. After leaving school, Breccia worked in a tripe packing plant and in 1938 he got a job for the magazine El Resero, where he wrote articles and drew the covers.
He began to work professionally in 1939, when he joined the publishing house Manuel Láinez. He worked on magazines such as Tit-Bits, Rataplán and El Gorrión where he created comic strips such as Mariquita Terremoto, Kid Río Grande, El Vengador (based on a popular novel), and other adaptations.
During the 1950s he became an "honorary" member of the "Group of Venice" that consisted of expatriate Italian artists such as Hugo Pratt, Ido Pavone, Horacio Lalia, Faustinelli and Ongaro. Other honorary members were Francisco Solano López, Carlo Cruz and Arturo Perez del Castillo. With Hugo Pratt, he started the Pan-American School of Art in Buenos Aires. In 1957 he joined publisher Editorial Frontera, under the direction of Héctor Germán Oesterheld, where he created several Ernie Pike stories. In 1958 Breccia's series Sherlock Time ran in the comic magazine Hora Cero Extra, with scripts by Oesterheld.
Breccia and Oesterheld collaborated to produce one of the most important comic strips in history, Mort Cinder, in 1962. The face of the immortal Cinder is modeled after Breccia's assistant, Horacio Lalia, and the appearance of his companion, the antique dealer Ezra Winston, is actually Breccia's own. Cinder and Winston's strip began on July 26, 1962, in issue Nº 714 of Misterix magazine, and ran until 1964 .
In 1968 Breccia was joined by his son, Enrique, in a project to draw the comic biography of Che, the life of Che Guevara, again with a script provided by Oesterheld. This comic book is considered the chief cause behind Oesterheld's disappearance.
In 1969 Oesterheld rewrote the script of El Eternauta, for the Argentinian magazine Gente. Breccia drew the story with a decidedly experimental style, resorting to diverse techniques. The resulting work was anything but conventional and moving away from the commercial. Breccia refused to modify its style, which added to the tone of the script, and was much different from Francisco Solano López original.
During the seventies, Breccia makes major graphic innovations in black and white and color with series like Un tal Daneri and Chi ha paura delle fiabe?, written by Carlos Trillo. On the last one, a satire based on Brothers Grimm's tales, he plays with texture, mixing collage, acrylic and watercolor.
Other stories include: Cthulhu Mythos, Buscavidas (text by Carlos Trillo), a Historia grafica del Chile and Perramus, inspired by the work of the poet Juan Sasturain a pamphlet against the dictatorship in Argentina. Breccia died in Buenos Aires in 1993.

5 de 5 estrellas. Cómo es posible que la misma persona haya dibujado todas las páginas de este tomo, es algo que no me entra en la cabeza. Desde historieta humorística hasta adaptaciones de Lovecraft, el Viejo pela unos dibujos que te detonan la cabeza hasta el infinito y más allá. Y encima recontra bien acompañado en los guiones: Trillo, Carlos Sampayo, Saccomano...La verdad que no tengo otra cosa que elogios para con este libro. Una bomba directo hacia tus sentidos. Viva Breccia.

para los fans del Breccia más ecléctico, acá va un tomo con nada menos que capítulos de Pancho López, Vito Nervio, Los mitos de Cthulhu, El aire, El fin, Desfile nocturno, Buscavidas, bocetos de su Drácula y un par de Historias con moralejas como: "El otro yo del Dr. Jekyll", "El guapo, la muerte y el tango", "Perfiles en blanco y negro". Moraleja: A no dejarlo pasar.

Una vez más los dibujos me pueden y el viejo Breccia se lleva cuatro estrellitas por esta antología que recorre varios tramos de su carrera ejemplificados con una historieta de cada época. Esta segunda versión del mítico Breccia Negro tiene varias historias muy buenas, pero es en los dibujos -y los mil y un registros distintos que usa para cada historia- donde me cautiva y me deja embobado.
