Alberto Breccia, le Maitre Argentin Insoumis<\/a><\/em>. A book by the curator of recent exhibitions in France on Breccia, who is currently preparing a forthcoming… “major retrospective on Breccia, to be held in the Argentine capital Buenos Aires under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture”. 128 pages, in French but it seems to be well illustrated, and is apparently limited to 800 copies. Both the publisher and Amazon say October 2019.<\/p>\n If you want a taster of his Lovecraft comics art, see Revista El Pendulo<\/em> No. 1 (1979)<\/a> which has recently arrived on Archive.org due to an Argentine historical journals digitisation project. This issue has a 15-page Breccia comics adaptation of Lovecraft’s “The Whisperer in Darkness”. In Spanish, but still worth seeing for the masterly art alone…<\/p>\n The comic is followed by a Lovecraft article by Mosig, again in Spanish. This was graced by a Moebius panel depicting Lovecraft. The article was a Spanish translation of Mosig’s essay \u201cPoet of the Unconscious\u201d, which had first appeared in The Platte Valley Review<\/em>, Vol. 6, No. 1, April 1978.<\/p>\n The next issue Revista El Pendulo<\/em> No. 2 (1979)<\/a> had a short interview with Breccia in Spanish. <\/p>\n Revista El Pendulo<\/em> seems to have been a brief attempt at publishing an Argentine equivalent of Toutain’s 1984<\/em> and its various licensees and imitators, and as such Pendulo’<\/em>s issues are not ‘safe for work’ today.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.jurn.link\/tentaclii\/oldimages\/breccia.jpg?w=529\")
