Aprovecho que salió el tema para reflotar mi idea de una adaptación cinematográfica que haga con Nippur de Lagash lo que Honor de caballería de Albert Serra hizo con el Quijote. Filmada en La Rioja. La banda de sonido sería exclusivamente momentos de la discografía de Los Natas.

Salió en el (siempre atento) Radar de Página 12 esta nota sobre el libro. Una lectura muy atenta que espero que el libro merezca: www.pagina12.com.ar/2026/04/26/a...

Ya está disponible el registro de la presentación conjunta que hicimos del hermoso libro de Catalina Reggiani y el mío. Una velada, en mi memoria, inmejorable: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZ5_...

Pocos placeres comparables al de un libro impreso. Ocho historietas llenas de extraterrestres sentimentales, revolucionarios inseguros, monjes medievales…

🙀¡Esto es hoy! 🙀

Estoy buscando libros (o documentales, dibujos, etc) que se centren en la vida cotidiana de la España de fines de 1400... ¿Recomendaciones?

El Jueves 9 de Abril a las 18:30 hs en la Biblioteca Nacional (Agüero 2502, CABA), vamos a estar presentando mi nuevo libro El disco de oro y el maravilloso Las señoras de Almagro, de Catalina Reggiani.

This one was quite the revelation for ¿13? year old me.

¿Qué dice la contratapa del nuevo libro? ¿Contra qué se escribe algo así?

En Abril sale mi nuevo libro, El disco de oro, por Libros del cosmonauta. Armé un tráiler intentando condensar la atmósfera del libro en medio minuto. Resulta que es imposible, no va a quedar otra que lo lean… #historieta #novelagrafica #RobertWalserPeroConNavesEspaciales #cienciaficcionsentimental

Con mucha alegría les cuento que en Abril Libros del cosmonauta va sacar mi nuevo libro, El disco de oro, que trae 8 historietas de ciencia ficción sentimental, imaginación peatonal y realismo asombrado. Trabajé años en esto, no veo la hora de que ustedes (sí, ustedes) puedan leerlo.

September 4 is, in Argentina, both Comics Day and Immigrants Day. There's a very direct line that starts with me reading comics and ends up with me becoming an immigrant. Someone is out there making a comic today, having no clue how it might shape somebody else's life. Cheers!

Un poco se ailmenta del chisme, pero también es lo opuesto a las redes sociales: cada idea se sostiene hasta el límite de la duración.

Catching up with the latest trends in literature. Turns out it’s good! 👍

Ticonderoga and Sgt Kirk are two westerns by Oesterheld and Pratt. Two very different approaches to the possible (but difficult) relationship between native people and white men. One youthful and awed, the other adult and tragic. Both marked by institutional violence, neither published in english.

You can now buy some of my comics at Brooklyn’s own Unnameable Books!

If you’re gonna be staring at screen for a long time, you might as well stare at GOOD screen for 300 pages!

Every time I start a new comic feels like I need to relearn it all from scratch. // Cada vez que agarro el pincel es la paradoja de Zenón: toda página es un milagro imposible.

English has been rekindling itself to Rachel Ingalls (just like Spanish has been, a little earlier, with Sarah Gallardo). Pearl Killers is a book waiting for New Directions to do its thing (and, also, desperately waiting for a Spanish translation), but it’s still easy to come by second hand.

I’ve enjoyed every Quentin Dupieux movie I’ve watched, but Daaaaaalí! is the one I feel went deeper. Also, every single actor playing every instance of Dalí makes something that should be an uphill battle (Dali was already an actor playing a character) feel like a game of joy.

I’ve been internet-lurking @jmarshallsmith.bsky.social and @jesselonergan.bsky.social’s work for a while, but haven’t had the chance to actually seat with their work (yet). Now this is announced. More publishers should follow @bulgilhanpress.com’s lead and plan their releases around MY curiosity!

Big, Little and Far by (American treasure) Jim Cohen is currently playing here in New York at the IFC Center. I got to watch it almost a year ago and I still think about it.

“El joven Mac Genio” me encantaba. Sería EL momento para que alguien se ponga a publicar libros con las historietas de los 90s de Billiken y Anteojito…

Here’s a very nice review of my latest comic! “Fran is becoming a master (if he’s not there already) of depicting the quiet moments and not taking anything at face value.” 🤗 opticalsloth.com?p=29121

This morning I reread @tomgauld.bsky.social’s Moon Cop as a metaphor for making comics. Haven’t read it since it came out. Still great.

May-September. Two mangas about finding the spark for making comics. One at the beginning, the other one after a lot has already gone through (both for authors and characters). Feels like BL Metamorphosis didn't really enter the radar "in my circles"? Fascinating to read them together.

I like Aira’s idea that a short story happened and a novel happens. I can think of more (great) graphic novels (in English) that work closer to a short story than a novel, but the literary model of a lot of cartoonists (in English) is the contemporary novel (in English).

Really interesting conversation touching on some things I have been thinking a lot about lately

Open debate: Is this one guilty of forced exposition? Only one way to find out…

Yes.

Two thick books that should but will never happen: Enrique Cristobal's Comics with Oesterheld and Robin Wood. Dos libros que nunca se publicarán, pero deberían: Las historietas de Enrique Cristóbal con Oesterheld y Robin Wood.

A very close read on a great book. If there’s one book I would like us to be discussing a lot more is this one.

Get my comics directly shipped from Spain! The Fran López Imperium begins it’s transcontinental phase.

This great (and still valid) actionable advice is just an example of the kind of life changing nuggets of truth you’d have access to if you were to hire me as a life coach.

If you find yourself in NYC you should stop whatever you’re doing, take yourself to Desert Island, get my comics, read them the minute you step outside the store (in the street, yes, it’s perfect reading weather today) and then write to tell me exactly how you feel about them.

Kind of obsessed with these zero views informative YouTube videos about SPX. AI really is bringing forth a golden era of content!

@sglidden.bsky.social is not around here very often, so please share around if you're inclined! (I've seen these portraits IRL and can confirm they're beautiful)
