ANARCOMA, THAT DELICIOUS SLAP WITHOUT HANDS

Text by Valeria Vegas

Anarcoma, Tú y Yo, features 37 original comic drawings starring his mythical transvestite detective Anarcoma from Barcelona's underground in the 1970s and 1980s.

Without Nazario, it would be difficult to fully understand the history of Spanish art and culture, particularly when considering the most daring, honest, and hidden leaks of artistic expression.



Among his multiple drawn and written narrations, the mythical character Anarcoma, who was created in 1978, stands out.

Anarcoma remains current and contemporary with her unique expression without responding to any standards. She is a private transvestite detective who values self-respect over vanity, despite her attraction to plastic and cloth flowers and respectful cocks.

Anarcoma has been edited in Sweden, Germany, Italy, France, the United States, and Brazil, and the references to its creation draw lines between Barbarela and the cinema of Fassbinder and John Walters. Anarcoma has been nominated for the “Angouleme Heritage Award” by the International Comic Festival of Angoulême, France, the most important event for comics in Europe.
