La Tempestad




Esta semana estará en las librerías La Tempestad, una versión en forma de "historietas" de la obra de Shakespeare dibujada por mi.
La verdad es que estoy bastante contento con los resultados, sobre todo por como me salió la fluidez de la narración gráfica. Tiene 132 paginas y es la obra COMPLETA. Tengo la esperanza de que pueda ser divertida de leer.
Si la quisieras conseguir, intenta con Amazon. El número de ISBN es: ISBN 978-1-904104-05-6.
Otra forma es ponerse en contacto directo con el editor en: www.canofwormsenterprises.co.uk

Incluyo tres fotos. Una de la cubierta, una doble pagina y otra del animador Marv Newland pretendiendo leer.
¡Salud!
Oscar

This week will be in the bookshops The Tempest, a 132 pages "comics" version of the play by The Bard, poorly illustrated by me.
Well, the truth is that I am quite pleased with the results, specially for the fluidity of the graphic narration. It is the COMPLETE play and hopefully will be fun to read.
In case you wanted to get it, try Amazon. The ISBN number is: ISBN 978-1-904104-05-6.
Otherwise contact the publisher: www.canofwormsenterprises.co.uk

I enclose some photos. One of the cover, a double page and one of animator Marv Newland pretending to read.
Cheers!
