Paul Preston / José Pablo García
The attack on the Basque city of Guernica on April 26th 1937 is burned into the European conscience: it was the first ‘open’ city that was practically obliterated during a bombing carried out by the Nazi Condor Legion.
José Pablo García has adapted Paul Preston’s book into comic form, a format that allows him totackle sometimes thorny subjects more easily than in prose or non-fiction.

Tute ARGENTINA — Tute is, in real life, Juan Matías Loiseau. He is a regular contributor to the newspaper La Nación and his drawings appear in newspapers all over the world.
‘Tute is the best cartoonist to emerge in recent years’ Quino, creator of Mafalda
HUMOUR ON THE COUCH
WE NEED TO TALK
This book is a collection of all the jokes the author has made about psychoanalysis in the past few years.
Tute depicts falling in love, heartbreak and the relationships in between with a harsh sense of humor.
TUTE
It’s surprising the ease with which he makes us smile or laugh about such important yet such ordinary subjects as relationships and love: the fear of being rejected, the monotony, the indecision, the first girl or boyfriend, conformity in couples..., with his characteristic sensitivity and simplicity.
TUTE
Light-hearted reflection on the psyche and inner world has been the brunt of analysis and jokes in the arts across-the-board. Tute, with his unique way of understanding the human being, reveals the truth of this statement throughout his work. This book presents all the illustrations of this sensational comic artist.

Troche Uruguay — He is a well-known artist in Uruguay and publishes comic strips in newspapers both in his country and abroad. Steinberg and Sempé are his biggest influences.
INVISIBLE DRAWINGS
LUGGAGE
A bottle of ink, a small brush and some water.
‘Luggage’ immerse us again in Troche’s austere and intuitive work.
That is all Troche needs to hypnotize the readers with his hand-made drawings. Just like a songwriter, he requires only one instrument to fill the hours with magic.
Troche is sparing, he draws by intuition. He can’t explain what he does; it’s a leap of faith. He is both innocent and in charge. His drawings go beyond him, and they speak, to him and to us, of unfathomable things. The universe of this little-known, brilliant author is poetic, deep and subtle.

Kioskerman Argentina — Kioskerman is Pablo Holmberg’s penname. He began to draw inspired by the great comic artists and today he is one of the most prominent names of his generation.
LOVE WILL COME TO THE RESCUE
EDEN THE GATES OF EDEN
A graphic novel on the meaning of the family and all its trappings. A job (the comic), what happens on the street (looking out the window), and what happens at the library (the books he reads), and his friends. Moved by the need to remember who he is and what he believes in, Kioskerman has created a prayer book in a comic’s clothing. This book is a collection of his prayers. When read together they give the sense of a greater experience, an account of the journey of life, touching on themes like the family, work and friendship. KIOSKERMAN
Eden, as its name suggests, is a magical world. It has an exquisite surreal atmosphere, its characters are beautiful and charming; its main character wears a crown. Although humor is present all throughout the book, the story and the artwork make the reader fall into some sort of pleasant daydream of love, existence and coexistence in a magnificent world inhabited by imaginary and fantastic creatures.

HERE LIVED. STORY OF AN EVICTION
Your Future Starts Here Isaac Rosa’s new graphic novel explores the social issue of the NEET generation (*Not in Education, Employment or Training).
Tender, pointed, and moving, Here Lived is a graphic novel that exposes the problems of eviction.
Your Future Starts Here treats the subject of where young people find themselves in today’s society. Some are qualified but can’t find work, others don’t get the necessary qualifications, as seen in the high drop-out rate; a generation of young people without a future: the NEETs.
Isaac Rosa / CRISTINA BUENO
Separated parents, moving house, adolescence. Three tricky situations that have all hit Alice at the same time. But there’s also something strange about her new home: hostile neighbors, a secret diary and an unexpected visitor.

CHRYSALIS
CHRISTMAS SONG
Carlos Giménez
Like in a game of mirrors, Carlos Giménez introduces us to a couple of his doubles, or look-alikes. The first one, Uncle Pablo, will be immediately recognizable to his fans. The second, his close buddy Raúl, is new and sets off a long series of reflections and misunderstandings about the miseries of creation and the limitations of old age. There are two options, each incarnated by one of his doubles: decline or death.

In Christmas Song we will see how Uncle Pablo, Giménez’s alter-ego, turns down all his invitations to Christmas celebrations. He just wants to be left alone so he can draw his comics in peace. Until one night he receives a visit from the Ghost of Past Christmases... This marks the beginning of a warm yet unforgiving portrait of the author’s life and work, in a masterly homage to Charles Dickens.

Calpurnio SPAIN — Calpurnio is the pseudonym of Eduardo Pelegrín Martínez de Pisón, one of Spain’s most important illustrators. He is the author of comics, posters, record covers and animated films.
Winner of the 2016 City of Palma Prize for Comic
CUTTLAS
PLASMA WORLD
A compilation of the best comic strips of the stickfigure cowboy, Cuttlas.
An amusing trip to Calpurnio’s universe. Independent, absurd stories that happen on Earth, and beyond, among microscopic creatures who run through all the storylines and introduce new threads. Despite this, it all has something very real about it. Calpurnio bucks his minimalist style to take us to a quite unusual world. He employs the grotesque and the surreal to throw readers off kilter while at the same time he keeps them savoring every page. Calpurnio
Calpurnio
Accompanied by his inseparable friends Jim, 37 (an alien), Juan Bala, Kraftwerk (his favorite band), and his girlfriend Mabel, Cuttlas faces up to Jak the Villain, the Indians, and many more dangers in a Far West where action, romanticism, absurd humor and a certain metaphysical slant come together in unique, inimitable style.

Felipe Almendros SPAIN — He is among the most highly regarded names in contemporary Spanish comics, with a refined and intimate artistic universe.
REST IN PEACE
VIP What happens when a young illustrator sees his future and an old cartoonist travels back to his past? Felipe is an old man who lives in a strange place with a very young girl who has forgotten his name. Although he refuses to accept it, his only regret is not having published more comics after R.I.P.. He is visited by a strange character disguised as Buzz Lightyear, who will make him remember what his life was like right after he published his last comic, and how he ended up living among prostitutes in a brothel called VIP.
Felipe Almendros
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.

Xiomara Correa
SPAIN — He is a self-taught illustrator and strip cartoonist. He has published in fanzines and magazines. La Reina Orquídea (2016) is one of his stand-out works.
SPAIN — She is one of the most promising talents in alternative Spanish comics. After working in graphic design, she launched a self-published lysergic fanzine which has been attracting followers for years: My horse boyfriend.
THE BLACK HOLES
MY HORSE BOYFRIEND
At an Amy Winehouse concert, La Chavala meets the guy who will be the man of her life. Well, maybe not so much a man... let’s say she meets the horse of her life. That’s right, it’s love at first sight from the moment he asks her for a paper to roll a ciggie. They’ll live a love story against all odds and against everything you can think of: against ex-partners, against decorum, against social conventions, and even against a drug-addicted pair: a turnip and a turnip top who want to kidnap and torture them.
Gloria, Laura and Cristina want to start a punkinspired 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. What they might not realise is that time is a two-lane highway.

ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS A MOODY GIRL
The protagonist of this diary is a young woman with a very positive perspective of the world. She is dreamy and fun, and she always does her best to make the world a better place, although she does not always succeed… because we all have bad days and sometimes the world is just what it is, no matter how hard we try to color it pretty.
In Once Upon a Time, There Was a Moody Girl, the girl in the striped shirt tells us about her past, about her ups and downs making it in a big new city: the shared apartment, parties, friends, boyfriends… Rights sold to: China > Beijing White Horse Time Russia > Eksmo

La Dolce Vita
Martina and Her Monster
Daily little drawings with happy messages.
Sara Fratini opens us the door to Martina Rossetto’s day to day.
SARA FRATINI
Martina is a freelance photographer who feels very comfortable with her curves, her unruly hair and in the company of her beloved domesticated monster. Martina always wears red lipstick, dances, does yoga and something goes a little wild. Using her very own style, Martina talks about feminism, about the “electrifying” life of freelancers, about friends and love.
SARA FRATINI
Fratini’s girls are happy, free, curvaceous women, born as a reaction and resistance to the pressure of our education and society. Sara Fratini manages to transmit optimism and buoyancy with her daily messages and her apparently naïve drawings. Her style is fresh; her drawings are simple and sophisticated, loaded with meaning even when they only talk about coffee, spring, monsters…

MODERNA DE PUEBLO
Raise your hand if you’ve ever met a guy who seems to be more of an encyclopedia than a man. Summing up: the kind of pedantic guys who are pleased to have met themselves, and won’t ever accept a comment that doesn’t agree with what they consider to be the good, precise, cool stuff. This album is dedicated to all of them.

P8ladas —the author’s virtual alter ego— lives freely in the cyberspace where any similarity with reality is pure coincidence. She would love to live in a perfect world where looks and money would not matter, but unfortunately that is not the case. Mondays represent everything she cannot stand -work, diets, hypocrisy, stupidity…- and there is no room for any of these in her perfect world.
The thirties are a before and after moment in people’s lives. That damn zero traps an ex-twenty something, abducts their body and transports their mind to a second puberty, known by some as: thirty-lescence. Victims of this personality disorder relive their adolescence, but they can’t escape the guilt of knowing how all the stories end up. Laura Santolaya explains the crisis of the individual at the age of thirty.

SPAIN — She started Chica del Montón during her last year at university for her final project. Then in a matter of months, her name was spreading on social networks.

GIRL NEXT DOOR
Village Teacher. With an L for Learner
A comic book that portrays the everyday life of a girl next door, with a dose of charisma, humour and irony.
Maria had hardly set foot on campus in her life but when they offered her a job for the first time at a school, she doesn’t care that it’s in a one-horse town and she takes the wheel without hesitation: Finally she will be a teacher! She will be forced to pull out all her stunts to survive a year in a rowdy second-grade class. What no one taught her at university is that she would also have to be an excellent judge, detective, nurse, designer, banker… All of that without losing her calling to teach.
Laura Mesa Cussó
A girl next door is one of those girls who always says ‘I’m almost there’ when she’s still in the shower; she is addicted to series, pizza and chocolate; she thinks that reading the shampoo bottle in the shower counts as studying Portuguese, and that the best contraceptive method is her boyfriend keeping his socks on... You won’t help but feel a slight resemblance because, admit it, you’re a girl next door too.

GREMLINS
Alejandra Lunik has dared to give a feminine touch to a genre that seemed to be mostly masculine.
A mother’s diary This illustrated journey by Alejandra Acosta —one of Chile’s finest illustrators— takes on the ambitious task of reproducing in images the relationship between a mother and her two young children. Gremlins is a sensitive and subtle autobiographical book that reveals how those mundane moments in family life can also become heroic exploits.
ALEJANDRA ACOSTA
ALEJANDRA LUNIK
Lola could be any of us, she could be our best friend, or any random girl with the same problems we have. In these pages, the author captures the feminine universe with all its sweetness and awkwardness, but she keeps it real: scenes featuring, mothers and daughters, couples, happiness, anger, consumerism, frivolity, love, desperation, hope… All of this and more can be seen in the amusing, creative visions on the pages of this beautiful album.

SPAIN — Irlanda Tambascio, a.k.a. ‘Eire’, has taken part in more than 250 projects as an editor, director and filmmaker. This is her second graphic novel.
ADELAIDA & COCO
MEJÍA AND THE GREAT TILINGO
Adelaida enters into crisis and her cat Coco pulls her out of the spiral of negative thoughts.
Mejía discovers one of her greatest fears: a little creature called a “Tilingo”.
Adelaida, a young, urban freelancer who loves cats, spends hours and hours every day in front of the computer. A workaholic who’s also addicted to the social networks, she has trouble tearing herself away from the screen. Luckily she has her cat Coco, whose purring manages to bring her back to the real world.
EIRE
ANITA MEJÍA
The definition her intelligent cat Froo gives of a tilingo is that it’s a tiny negative thought that can multiply exponentially. The harmless little ones can give way to the most deadly of them all: The Great Tilingo, which is when you are enveloped in the most absolute desperation. From then on, Mejía will try to rid herself of those thoughts, employing various means… An adorable, humble and small adventure that everyone can relate to it.

HOW DID YOU TWO MEET?
ARE YOU MAKING LOVE?
The adventures of Emilia and Mauricio, the most famous couple in Spanish comic.
On this occasion, the comic strips revolve around Emilia and Mauricio’s sexual life.
MANUEL FONTDEVILA
Their son Oscar asks the big question to confirm the rumors he has heard in school about how children are made. Fontdevila sets out hilarious situations on how to maintain sexual life when you have children, you lack time or exhaustion predominates.
MANUEL FONTDEVILA
Over the course of 20 years, Manel Fontdevila devoted a monthly page in El Jueves, one of Spain’s most widely read magazines, to tell the story of a young couple: “La Parejita.” The everyday anecdotes and brilliant ideas of Emilia and Mauricio were both hilariously funny and had an almost anthropological look at relationships.

#1 RAMONES
#2 METALLICA
Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee and Tommy Ramone were the stage names of these four “brothers” who, in hardly two years, went from playing in shabby bars to recording their first album and filling the legendary Roundhouse in London in July 1976. The era of punk rock had just begun.
The beginnings of the band Metallica, the fiery symbol of thrash metal. A fascinating tale that started in Los Angeles when Lars Ulrich, a promising young tennis player, abandoned his career to start a band and become the best drummer in the world.
UNA BANDA LLAMADA RAMONES
DAVE MUSTAINE, LA GUITARRA
En el barrio los miraban mal, no tenían éxito con las chicas y en la escuela les iba fatal. Sin demasiados amigos, pasaban el tiempo en la galería de arte de la mamá de Joey escuchando discos de Rock.
Sin duda METALLICA necesitaba refuerzos. Un día se presentó en el ensayo el demoledor Dave Mustaine. Le bastaron cinco minutos para destrozar a los chicos con su guitarra; melodías repletas de magia y endiablados riffs tronaron en la sala.
Un día Johnny y Dee Dee aparecieron con unas guitarras de segunda mano. Fue entonces cuando los cuatro amigos decidieron formar la banda RAMONES.
Soledad Romero / DAVID NAVAS
Soledad Romero / Joe Padilla
The Band Records collection brings generations closer together and invites parents and children to relive and experience the era when rock was born.
Con él, llegaron la cólera y la electricidad a la banda. Dave se convirtió en la guitarra líder de METALLICA.
La idea de llamarse RAMONES fue de Tommy: viene de Paul Ramone, el nombre que utilizaba el músico Paul McCartney, de los Beatles, para evitar el acoso de los fans. A partir de ese día, todos los miembros del grupo llevarían el apellido Ramone.

13, RUE DEL PERCEBE
ROMPETECHOS
13, Rue del Percebe (13, Barnacle Street) is a Spanish comic book created by Ibáñez in 1961.
Rompetechos is a Spanish comic character created by cartoonist Francisco Ibáñez in 1964, protagonist of the series of the same name.
13, Rue del Percebe portrays a humorous view of a building and the people who inhabit it – a gossiping porter, a hopeless tailor, a distrustful shopkeeper, a clumsy thief or an ingenious debtor. Characters who nowadays are still well liked and remembered by generations of readers.
Rompetechos is a stubborn, short and myopic man whose poor vision generates comical situations. Ibañez has stated repeatedly that, among his creations, this is his favorite character and due to this he appears frequently in other series of the same author, notably Mortadelo y Filemón and 13 Rue del Percebe. B Comic will publish the close to 800 pages of Rompetechos which the author has created in two volumes to be published in 2018. Docu.T. C. Nº21- P50 A 64
