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 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. Rarely does a book so delightfully defy categorization. Cornelius 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, Cornelius 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. Exquisitely drawn, Cornelius '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 Cornelius is mesmerizing in its originality.
