Hombre (comics)
''Hombre'' is a Spanish comics series written by Antonio Segura and drawn by José Ortiz, first published in 1981 in the magazine ''Cimoc''. Publication history Created during the resurgence of Spanish comics in the years after the fall of Franco, Segura wrote ''Bogey'' and ''Orka'' in the same period, though it was ''Hombre'' in collaboration with Ortiz that would prove the most successful. After its initial run in ''Cimoc'', Segura and Ortiz brought ''Hombre'' to the magazine ''KO Comics'', one of the three magazines the artists' publishing cooperative Metropol produced during its short existence in 1984. After Metropol ceased business, ''Hombre'' relocated to the pages of ''Cimoc'' for a second run. The Spanish album releases were published by Norma Editorial.

Comics
a medium used to express ideas with images, often combined with text or other visual information. It typically the form of a sequence of panels of images. Textual devices such as speech balloons, captions, and onomatopoeia can indicate dialogue, narration, sound effects, or other information. There is no consensus amongst theorists and historians on a definition of comics; some emphasize the combination of images and text, some sequentiality or other image relations, and others historical aspects such as mass reproduction or the use of recurring characters. Cartooning and other forms of illustration are the most common image-making means in comics; ''fumetti'' is a form that uses photographic images. Common forms include comic strips, editorial and gag cartoons, and comic books. Since the late 20th century, bound volumes such as graphic novels, comic albums, and ' have become increasingly common, while online webcomics have proliferated in the 21st century. The ...

Antonio Segura
Antonio Segura (June 13, 1947 – January 31, 2012) was a Spanish comics writer. Biography Antonio Segura's earliest work appeared in the early 1980s after meeting the experienced artists José Ortiz, Luis Bermejo and Leopoldo Sanchez who were looking for a scriptwriter untainted by the industry. Taking this opportunity, he wrote a series for each of them '' Hombre'', ''Orka'' and '' Bogey'', respectively. With some effort, these became published, and joined in the wave of emerging Spanish adult comics that bloomed in the post-Franco era. ''Hombre'' began a successful run in the magazine ''Cimoc'', and Segura started collaborating with Jordi Bernet, creating the amazone fantasy series '' Sarvan'', also appearing in ''Cimoc''. In 1983, Segura and a collective of artists including Bernet, Ortiz, Sánchez and Manfred Sommer, made an attempt to establish a monthly comics periodical, on the premise of artists' freedom. It was named ''Metropol'' and bore the tag ''"Papeles falaces ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Spanish Comics
Spanish comics are the comics of Spain. Comics in Spain are usually called ''historietas'' or ''cómics'', with ''tebeos'' primarily denoting the magazines containing the medium. ''Tebeo'' is a phonetic adaptation of ''TBO'', a long-running (1917–1983) Spanish comic magazine, and sounds like "''te veo''" ("I see you"). Two publishing houses — Editorial Bruguera and Editorial Valenciana — dominated the Spanish comics market for most of its history. Spanish artists have traditionally worked in other markets reaching great success, either in the American (e.g., Eisner Award winners Sergio Aragonés, Salvador Larroca, Gabriel Hernández Walta, Marcos Martín or David Aja), the British (e.g., Carlos Ezquerra, co-creator of '' Judge Dredd'') or the Franco-Belgian one (e.g., first Fauve d'Or winner Julio Ribera or ''Blacksad'' authors Juan Díaz Canales and Juanjo Guarnido). The Spanish market is also known for its many studios, which for a long time - relatively chea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Moebius), Chantal Montellier, and Milo Manara. As cartoonist/publisher Kevin Eastman saw it, ''Heavy Metal'' published European art which had not been previously seen in the United States, as well as demonstrating an underground comix sensibility that nonetheless "wasn't as harsh or extreme as some of the underground comix – but . . . definitely intended for an older readership." ...

Apocalyptic And Post-apocalyptic Fiction
Apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic fiction is a subgenre of speculative fiction in which the Earth's (or another planet's) civilization is collapsing or has collapsed. The apocalypse event may be climatic, such as runaway climate change; astronomical, such as an impact event; destructive, such as nuclear holocaust or resource depletion; medical, such as a pandemic, whether natural or human-caused; end time, such as the Last Judgment, Second Coming or Ragnarök; or more imaginative, such as a zombie apocalypse, cybernetic revolt, technological singularity, dysgenics or alien invasion. The story may involve attempts to prevent an apocalypse event, deal with the impact and consequences of the event itself, or it may be post-apocalyptic, set after the event. The time may be directly after the catastrophe, focusing on the psychology of survivors, the way to keep the human race alive and together as one, or considerably later, often including that the existence of pre-catas ...
