Whitesnow and the blind author “Borges” (based on the real-life literary figure), who comes to be a guide. During his absurdist travels, he teams up with the gruff Cannelloni a foreign aviator dubbed “The Enemy” by despot Mr. When he voluntarily loses his memory, he’s dubbed “Perramus” from the brand of his raincoat. This graphic novel follows the existential odyssey of a political dissident. It has never been translated into English until now.įantagraphics collects the graphic novel Perramus - winner of an Amnesty International prize - in English for the first time. The comic was presumed to be lost to history, until a publisher in Spain restored it in 1987. In the 1970s, the military government raided its publisher, destroying the means to reprint the book. Originally released as part of a graphic biography series in January 1969, it came out in Argentina only a year after Ernesto “Che” Guevara had died and reached an audience beyond comics readers. Life of Che is one of the most anticipated entries in Fantagraphics’ The Alberto Breccia Library. By Héctor Germán Oesterheld and Alberto Breccia.
