Today I have received the Rockdelux 293 (March), which includes lists of "Best of 2010" according to the votes of readers in multiple categories, including comics. Without further ado, we say that the music magazine readers have chosen the following as the most outstanding comics from last year's production:
1) past Rice, Juanjo Sáez
2) Wilson, Daniel Clowes
3) cartoonist Winter, Paco Roca
4) 1-Boil a bear , Jonathan Miller and Miguel Noguera
5) Footnotes Strip, Joe Sacco
6) I , Juanjo Sáez
7) Polyp Asterios , David Mazzucchelli
8) Free Damage , Paco Alcázar
9) God Himself , Marc-Antoine Mathieu
10) Kafka, Robert Crumb (and David Zane Mairowitz, I would add that in the magazine have forgotten the co-author)
The list is as diverse and debatable as any other, obviously, but it strikes me that agrees with at least half of the titles. Something strange happens to me when my tastes match more with the readers of a magazine of rock with the votes of the English comic professionals for the awards Hall of Barcelona. It also strikes me that, although the list does not distinguish between English and foreign works, English is just one that wins, and there are five English titles (published in Spain and produced in Spain) among those ten. Like other English writers who can compete for recognition on equal terms with foreigners. Hey, who knows, eh? It is a concept to ponder ...
In any case, it is not there to draw too many conclusions from these votes, because the same Juanjo Sáez who is elected as the author of the best comics of the year with Rice last and is able to put another piece in the list ( I , No. 6) has the dubious distinction of appearing on the list " The worst appeared in Rockdelux "with its series" Hit emotional "(No. 5). Series which, interestingly, also appears in the list of "Best appeared in Rockdelux" (no. 10).
Therefore, impressions and opinions, all. Conclusions: fair.
addition, this Rockdelux reinstates the comic book review section that coordinates Pepo Perez . This time, you can read about the horror Practitioners, Pierre La Police, by Pablo Rios ; Theodore Poussin. The integral 1 , Frank Le Gall, by Octavio Beares ; tail with clams. 1 incomplete works of Alvarez Rabo, by Paul Rivers (again); The small Christian of Blutch for Valentine Vañó ; Psychiatry. 1-The mental hospital, Lisa Mandel, by Fernando Sagaz ; The Eternauta , Germain Hector Oesterheld and Francisco Solano Lopez, Absent Lord ; Frank , Jim Woodring, by Alberto Garcia and Bakuman 1-3, Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata, by myself. That is, despite the rampant gafapastismo, almost anything that fits clearly with the common graphic novel. Another concept to ponder, eh?
Just today I am writing the review of Bodyworld Dash Shaw for the next issue. And in the near future I hope to find a place to speak of some of those comics that is spoken in this Rockdelux , especially the fantastic Frank and The small Christian.
