El volcán

An anthology of Latin American comics comprising the work of 42 artists. The book offers the most unique voices of the current comic world from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. The selection represents the moment of growing effervescence of the Latin American comics since the early years of the 21st century. The origin of the phenomenon could go back to the economic crisis that, throughout the 1990œs, eliminated almost completely the mass comic books and magazines [] a new number of media and broadcasting strategies such as zines, blogs, and independent publishers quickly encouraged a renewal in the themes and forms in the ways that soon become apparent."
