Comic Book Information
Title: Donde suben y bajan las mareas (Spanish for "Where the tides go up and down")
Artist: Alberto Breccia
Writer: Carlos Trillo
Original Story: The comic is an adaptation of a short story by British writer Lord Dunsany.
Style: Breccia used a minimalist style with dark blacks, grays, stark whites, and collaged, torn paper elements to capture the atmosphere of the original tale.
Synopsis
The story is a dark fantasy tale about a man whose offense is never explicitly stated but is so terrible that his soul is denied burial on land or sea, and even hell. The narrative focuses on the punishment inflicted upon this character, featuring the eerie, hooded figures seen in the panels, which move through a stark, almost abstract London cityscape. The goal was to evoke a specific, haunting mood rather than a literal depiction of the story's setting. |
