"Liquid Steel" in El País
local Rescue a key work
cartoon was published in one book "Liquid Steel" by Enrique Alcatena
About two decades Cartoon farmers in the Rio de la Plata had the opportunity to continue, issue to issue in the magazine Skorpio, the history of fantasy liquid steel, signed by the artist and writer Enrique Alcatena Eduardo Mazzitelli. The cartoon, one of the most important comic strip River Plate, was sparse and only available to those who cherished those numbers. Until now, the editorial Uruguay and Argentina Belerofonote Rabia Loco joined forces and published in one volume of 300 pages in which the imagination of the author unfolds almost at its best, both literary and graphic.
is a story of fantasy and science fiction, entirely in black and white, where the stick spins fanciful adventures reflecting their origin in a monthly magazine where he continued in each issue. Here is a world where there are several kingdoms, each with a defending champion. The protagonist of the story is Hark, the court jester who lives constantly challenging the patience of his king. However, a number of events become this character in the lone defender of the kingdom and, therefore, must leave behind his love of fun.
The three hundred pages of the book immerses the reader in a radical journey in a fantasy world that only fit on the combination of the two authors. Those familiar with his earlier (and online there are ample references) will know that their job can find hints and references varied but the result is unlike anything ever known. Alcatena is, well, a highly cultured artist, probably one of the great authors of comics, which has developed a particular personal imagination. If someday a publisher collects a bestiary with Alcatena creations, the result could be a very extensive volume with few parallels in the world, not just in comics.
