Peleas de enamorados vol 2/ Love Fights Vol 2 / Spanish Edition - Peleas De Enamorados
Author: Andi Watson

DESCRIPCIÓN DEL LIBRO/BOOK DESCRIPTION Español: En la ciudad de los superhéroes,es difícil conseguir una cita.Andi Watson ,uno de los autores más importantes del slice of life norteamericano, se adentra en el género de los superhéroes con Peleas de enamorados, la historia de amor entre Jack,un dibujante de cómics, y Nora, una reportera par... more »a una revista de superhombres...en una ciudad donde ver a alguien volando está a la orden del día. English: The scandal surrounding the Flamer’s alleged love child has left Jack out in the cold romantically. Nora’s journalistic ambition has nearly cost him his job, but he’s not sure that any of that matters when his heart is in such dire straits. For her part, Nora seems to have picked up and moved on, working with the Fader to get to the bottom of the superhero sex scandal she broke - and which may very well be a fake. Little does she know that Jack’s cat, the furball also known as the Future Feline, is dogging her, suspicious of the girl’s true motives. It’s a complicated world when flying crimefighters patrol your skies...but an old romantic like Andi Watson is ready to tackle these super affairs of the heart with the usual wry wit and skillful brush strucks that earned him an Eisner nomination. Author Awards & Nominations 2004 Harvey Award Nomination "Best New Series" for Love Fights 2001 Eisner Award Nominee "Best Limited Series" for Breakfast After Noon 2000 Eisner Award Nominee "Best Graphic Album" for Geisha DESCRIPCIÓN DEL SERIE Y AUTOR / SERIES & AUTHOR DESCRIPTION: Español: From guiadelcomic.com. . . ¿DE QUÉ VA? Romance, con los superhéroes como trasfondo. Peleas de enamorados es la historia de dos personas normales que viven en la Nueva York de un mundo donde los superhéroes existen y son parte de la vida diaria. Los protagonistas son Nora, que trabaja en una revista de "prensa rosa" dedicada en exclusiva a los superhéroes, y Jack, un dibujante de cómics que se encarga del tebeo de un superhéroe real que licencia su cómic como un producto más de merchandising. SOBRE EL CÓMIC Peleas de enamorados es una serie regular mensual en formato comic-book (algo raro en Oni Press, que solo publica como serie abierta el multipremiado Queen & Country de Greg Rucka, y su producción se centra en miniseries y novelas gráficas) cuyo primer número salió a la venta en EEUU en junio de 2003. En cualquier caso, Watson ha declarado que más que una serie regular "al uso" será una serie de arcos argumentales (estructua que también comparte la mencionada Queen & Country) Peleas de enamorados es una mezclar de cómic de relaciones sentimentales en los que Watson ha destacado especialmente (por ejemplo , en trabajos como Breakfast After Noon o Dumped) con la temática superheroica, predominante en los cómics comerciales de EEUU. Peleas de enamorados utiliza una aproximación al mundo de los superhéroes desde una perspectiva que no es nueva (Kurt Busiek ya nos aproximó a un mundo donde existen superhéroes desde la perspectiva de un ciudadano de a pie en cómics como Marvels o Astro City) y que últimamente prolifera en EEUU, el mezclar la temática de superhéres con otros géneros, como el género negro (caso de Powers) o el culebrón familiar (caso de Noble Causes), aunque en el caso de Peleas de enamorados los superhéroes sólo aparecen como trasfondo y vemos cómo sus acciones y existencia afectan a la vida diaria de los protagonistas del cómic, pero no aparecen como protagonistas directos de la historia. English: "Don't wait for someone, someday to publish your dream project. Do it yourself with the photocopier. Forget about fancy full colour covers and whatnot; use whatever is at hand." Andi Watson, from the Comicology interview In 1992 - inspired by skateboarding, manga and Love & Rockets - Andi Watson set about self-publishing 3 issues of Samurai Jam. The series was later continued at Slave Labor Publishing for a further 4 issues, using a different art style for each issue - a factor contributing to it's cancellation. Undeterred, he commenced work on Skeleton Key an all ages mix of fantasy adventure and teenage relationships that was to last for 30 issues. His next series marked a significant turning point for Andi. Although Geisha was originally intended as an action based robotic-girl story, it quickly evolved into a character study of a struggling android artist overcoming doubt and prejudice. More importantly, his art style evolved from it's heavy manga influence due to his recent discovery of clean-line European artists, such as Sergé Clerc, Yves Chaland, François Avril, Dupuy and Berberian. However, it was with Breakfast After Noon that Andi Watson dispensed with the trappings of the action genre and began to ground his stories in more contemporary surroundings. Based on his home town in the Midlands, he drew on his own experience of unemployment to tell a story about the decline of British industry and its destructive impact on the lives of ordinary people. The series is also notable for the simpler, yet stronger, art style used, with the looser brush work helping to communicate the rawness of feelings in the story. "I have been consciously simplifying the art for the longest time. It's a process of only including the things that are relevant. I think that it comes back to storytelling - everything should be there for a reason. There's no point in putting a ton of detail in unless it says something about the character or sense of place. You create a stronger impression using one detail well used instead of many badly. The same goes for facial expressions. You can use a few lines to communicate any emotion... Of course, the fewer lines you use, the harder it gets." Andi Watson, from the Comicology interview Andi Watson lives in Staffordshire, England with his wife, Philippa and their daughter.
