It had already been published in our country in four albums, but now we can enjoy a great full edition of one of the most avant -garde and non -classible European comic book works that can be found. BurstThe fundamental comic of French Manu LargesnetIt gets there thanks to Editorial standard.

A cult work

It has about three decades among us and is considered a work of worship. It may not have obtained (still) the same status of other great works of the European comic, but obviously it is on the right way to end up being one of the most recognized essential comics that can be found. The depth with which its author faces a dense story as this cannot leave the reader indifferent, as well as the excellent work done with the main protagonist of the work, Polza ManciniA character who is already part of the collective imagination.

The Larcenet line moves away from the pure style to be a narrative tool at the service of Mancini’s feelings. The chaotic pages are full of a kind of dirty line seasoned with a gray scale that monopolizes most of the volume, occasionally sketched in moments of color or with the use of resources such as the collage that, like everything, are only served for aim to improve the sensations that history is awakening in the reader.

Despite the obvious density of the work, this is afflicted by silences that fill long sections of pages in which the author demonstrates his mastery perfectly dominating the rhythm of the narrative and his ability to transmit ideas without the need to rely on the texts , also giving space to the reader to reflect on every visible aspect.

Polza Mancini

It is difficult to reduce everything that has exploded in a plot, but obviously this story has one. Our omnipresent main character, a drunk wanderer with morbid obesity called Polza Mancini, is arrested by the police as a suspicion of a crime. The story that the agents will tell the reader in a spiral of uncomfortable charm.

Through a story in which the worst aspect of the human being comes to light, Larcenet will soon lead us to know what has led to this mentally unstable being and defined by an uncontrollable impulse to the point where we are. And on this journey we will know both the character and the details that surround the reason why they stopped him.

But far from being before the typical flashback a Usual suspicionsHere the author proposes something much more subjective, introspective, dreamlike, decomposed and stimulating, with a non -linear structure that tries to achieve understanding more than a state that from a plot.

Therapy of the author

Larcenet declared on more than one occasion that somehow was his way of dealing with the depression associated with the bipolar disorder with which he had been diagnosed. And it is that vision in which Blast’s authentic brutality is located. The despair of the total absence of light at the end of the tunnel is what the author deals, above all, to capture these pages. And this is what makes its reading at the same time a wonderful experience and a real trauma.
