Paperback. Cuando era nino y adolescente, leia inevitablemente todo lo que fuera ciencia ficcion, literatura fantastica y de horror. Recuerdo la inquietud que me provocaban los mundos sofisticados que proponian Mezieres y Christin, con su Valerian: Agente del Espacio-Tiempo y otros comics como los de Moebius o Bilal. Y me preguntaba si habia ecuatorianos que escribieran sobre otros mundos, seres fantasticos o historias de misterio.Indagando con mis profesores, finalmente descubri la razon: la literatura debia ser "comprometida con nuestra realidad." El verdadero arte, se suponia, debia ser una interpretacion sociologica consecuente con la lucha de clases, un esfuerzo por desentranar las paradojas del mestizaje, un analisis profundo de la sociedad ecuatoriana para proponer soluciones. En definitiva, no podiamos permitirnos pensar asuntos tan banales como la fantasia.Afortunadamente, hoy tenemos libros como el que esta en sus manos. Gracias a escritores como JD Santibanez, en el Ecuador se hacen historias que exploran el terreno de lo fantastico, el misterio y la especulacion cientifica. Por su parte, JD Santibanez hace algo mas: el hace comics. El comic es una extrana alquimia entre las artes graficas, la literatura y el cine. Comic Book muestra a JD Santibanez como un narrador que se siente igual de confortable tanto con las palabras como con las imagenes.El comic en Latinoamerica todavia tiene una connotacion infantil. Se asume que un comic necesariamente es un producto ligero para gente joven. Se lo considera como una etapa intermedia de lectura antes de que el joven madure lo suficiente como para poder asimilar literatura pura. El termino comic es, en si mismo, desafortunado, pues reduce todo un medio de comunicacion a un unico genero: el humor. Esto es como si pensaramos que las unicas peliculas posibles son las de cowboys. En vez de esta fallida terminologia, el gran Will Eisner propuso Arte Secuencial como una denominacion que mejor sintetiza la naturaleza de este medio. Actualmente, ademas, se usan terminos como narracion grafica y -cuando el trabajo es extenso- novela grafica.Creo que este talento de combinar lo visual con la palabra sera cada vez mas importante en un mundo donde el texto mantiene gran vigencia, pero que esta progresivamente orientandose hacia codigos graficos. Yo siempre sospeche que Frank Miller en realidad era guayaquileno, y este libro lo comprueba. Este es un libro sobre ciudades despiadadas, asesinos con los que secretamente simpatizamos, politicos y empresarios corruptos, mujeres sensuales y peligrosas. El lenguaje es directo, la accion va al limite. Sus ilustraciones siguen la tradicion de dibujo a tinta del comic de accion norteamericano, herencia de Jack Kirby, Neal Adams o John Buscema. Sus encuadres y accion son claros y contundentes, con un ritmo vertiginoso y un flujo visual impecable, fruto de decadas de oficio. Los cuentos de JD Santibanez apelan a sentimientos universales innegables, como el odio a los buseros abusivos -disculpen la redundancia- y alimentan sanas fantasias, como la de abalear a los corruptos. Pero sus historias tambien proveen una mirada a mundos poco conocidos, como el de los coleccionistas fanaticos de comics, un mundo de individuos obsesivos que forman sociedades secretas dedicadas al culto grafico. Las historias que estan por leer juegan con varios reinos de la imaginacion: la accion pura, el genero detectivesco, los mundos post-apocalipticos de la ciencia ficcion, los monstruos del horror clasico. Son inapelablemente masculinas, llenas de erotismo y chicas sexys cuya exuberancia solo puede existir en los comics. Veremos fanaticos religiosos, alienigenas, nazis, ninjas, cowboys, justicieros, buseros dementes, cultura de tabloide popular y fotonovela.
