Plot
Legendary creator Dave Sim is renowned world-wide for his groundbreaking Cerebus the Aardvark. Now, in The Strange Death of Alex Raymond, Sim brings to life the history of comics' greatest creators, using their own techniques. Equal parts Understanding Comics and From Hell, Strange Death is a head-on collision of ink drawing and spiritual intrigue, pulp comics and movies, history and fiction. The story traces the lives and techniques of Alex Raymond (Flash Gordon, Rip Kirby), Stan Drake (Juliet Jones), Hal Foster (Prince Valiant), and more, dissecting their techniques through recreations of their artwork, and highlighting the metatextual resonances that bind them together

Una pasada, pero tienes que entrar en el discurso que hace Sim. De cualquier otra manera, puede ser una pesadilla de lectura.

Apabullante, desbordante, metafísica, metatextual... una pasada, una ola de energía creativa. Con la excusa de ciertas incongruencias en la muerte del Raymond, Sim repasa dibujantes y técnicas de tira cómica de estilo realista y explora un sinfín de extrañas y rebuscadas coincidencias que van de lo curioso a lo fantástico. No le pongo 5 estrellas porque es dura de leer, pero a quien le guste perderse en esos vergeles que le ponga 6.
