Horrifying and hilarious, Cornelius the dog is a spectacular train wreck you just can t look away. Cornelius is a fumbling loser, the butt of everyone’s jokes. When his friend Alspacka is kidnapped, the subsequent criminal investigation turns into a dramatic and emotional ordeal, upending Cornelius s life. Torn between his desire to be a writer and his immense guilt 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. Rarely does a book so delightfully defy categorization. Cornelius is an experience: a farcical collage that reads like a drug-fueled fever dream, an intense emotional pendulum oscillating between psychological horror and slapstick comedy a real roller coaster. And truthfully, Cornelius is all this and more: a brand, a phenomenon, a way of life. From the singular mind of Marc Torices comes a surreal, carefully curated universe, complete with its own icons, mythology, and metanarratives. Exquisitely drawn, Cornelius s kaleidoscope of styles pays homage to the comics medium, an unabashed love letter to the form itself. Translated from the Spanish by Eisner Award-winner Andrea Rosenberg, Marc Torices’s critically acclaimed and award-winning Cornelius is mesmerizing in its originality.
