Alberto Breccia has long been considered one of the premier cartoonists of Buenos Aires. His distinctive, highly expressionistic style has been seen in such comics as Sherlock Time, Che Guevara and Mort Cinder, as well as in adaptations of Edgar Allen Poe and H.P. Lovecraft.

Now Fantagraphics Books treats readers to a tale of political horror with the translation of one of Breccia’s most acclaimed works. Along with the writing of Juan Sasturain, Breccia takes readers on a journey into the dark heart of Argentina where a man named Perramus becomes involved in a series of bizarre events after having his memories virtually stolen from him by a mysterious woman named Margarita.

Fans of horror fiction will marvel at Breccia’s truly moving and moody style as each panel of this comic draws readers deeper into a very strange story filled with darkness and insanity.
