When his friend Alspacka iskidnapped, the subsequent criminal investigation turns into a dramatic and emotionalordeal, upending Cornelius's life. Torn between his desire to be a writer and his immenseguilt over his cowardly role in Alspacka's abduction, Cornelius is a classic Faustian figure: an aspiring artist so hungry for success that he will pay any price. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRarely does a book so delightfully defy categorization. \u003ci\u003eCornelius\u003c\/i\u003e is an experience: afarcical collage that reads like a drug-fueled fever dream, an intense emotional pendulumoscillating between psychological horror and slapstick comedy--a real roller coaster. Andtruthfully, \u003ci\u003eCornelius\u003c\/i\u003e is all this and more: a brand, a phenomenon, a way of life. From thesingular mind of Marc Torices comes a surreal, carefully curated universe, complete with itsown icons, mythology, and metanarratives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eExquisitely drawn, \u003ci\u003eCornelius\u003c\/i\u003e's kaleidoscope of styles pays homage to the comicsmedium, an unabashed love letter to the form itself. Translated from the Spanish by EisnerAward-winner Andrea Rosenberg, Marc Torices's critically acclaimed and award-winning\u003ci\u003eCornelius\u003c\/i\u003e is mesmerizing in its originality.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarc Torices \u003c\/b\u003e(1989) is a comics artist and animator.

In addition to writing comics, he's also worked as an editorial illustrator, an animator, and as an art director for some animation studios and other creative enterprises. Before the publication of Cornelius, Torices self-published several fanzines featuring the dog, and he also created the art for the biography Cortázar, written by Jesús Marchamalo and published in Spain, France, and Italy.
