Un libro para descubrir el mundo interior de un gran artista: una ventana a la mente de Carlos Giménez.En los inicios de su carrera, Carlos Giménez plasmó en viñetas guiones ajenos y luego se consolido, durante seis decadas, como uno de los autores completos mas brillantes del comic moderno. Sin embargo, a quien no hemos visto muy a menudo es al Carlos Gimenez en su faceta de dibujante puro e imaginativo.Este libro nos muestra al autor en total autonomia, liberado de exigencias secuenciales y narrativas. Con todo, este viaje al taller mas intimo del artista tambien nos cuenta una historia: nos vamos a sumergir en el mundo interior de Carlos Gimenez, plagado de imagenes y homenajes, de recuerdos y de desafios, y quiza comprendamos aspectos hasta ahora no explorados de su obra pasada, presente y futura.La critica ha dicho...
