the author with a tlacololeros
is the comic I've been recommending now, Maize Augusto Mora.
Corn is a major landowner in the village of tlacololes but has been plagued by a long drought, the animals die, there is no food and families are desperate to survive. The corn goes to see the "Queen of the Clouds", a virgin or Goddess. Get help with it but is denied. The reason why is that it does not rain Weeping women who died in childbirth become something like semi-gods or fantastic creatures, whose cries they made it rain and do not for the devil spawn a monster at Kindred and they adopt it.
Queen of the Clouds rather see happy the mourners that mere mortals and therefore corn decides to take a hard desicion, kill the shank. This triggered the anger of the Goddess and the mourners resulting in an epic story.
This cartoon won the 2010 National Graphic Novel JUS publisher, and was selling at the International Fair Mining Palace book.
This story mainly based on the tradition of the state of Guerrero, La Danza de los Tlacololeros, which is performed as a ritual to ask the rains come. Augusto Mora takes elements of Mexican folk culture, on mythology, legends and traditions with their caracterizticas style "Mexican" as I tell you that you can see in other comics he and his illustrations in various newspapers, magazines and MAD in Mexico (where I knew his work) and the Webcomic "Dear Death."
tlacololeros is who farms in the tlacolol, which are lands that are on the hillsides, a growing Hispanic. Augusto Mora traveled to Guerrero to document their work as well for inspiration. Corn
Originally started as a webcomic, so it is on a page and every so often intermnet up bullets like a blog. Currently on the website of corn (below pondre all directions) is in Chapter 2 and the first part of "The Curse of Kindred" is not the time or not. In the webcomic page is a summary of Chapter 1 but it's worth seeing it.
What I was expecting was the printed version and as I said before it was sold at the Book Fair of Palacio de Minería (Thanks to my girlfriend Momo and give it to me)
I can buy here in the City Mexico in the editorial JUS Donceles located at 66, Centro Historico. I have understood that costs $ 250 but worth it.
For I bring you a taste of the comic:
