First introduced to American readers back in the 1980s in Art Spiegelman*'s RAW Magazine, Spanish cartoonist, Marti (RIP) gets the deluxe Fantagraphics treatment here, in this oversize hardcover edition of the first volume of his magnus opus, Cabbie, whre Marti grabbed the classic, old school Dick Tracy newspaper strips by Chester Gould and dragged them through the underground comics looking glass, coming out on the other side with CABBIE, simultaneously a homage to and a repurposed, inverted critique of Dick Tracy, Chester Gould and the implicit linkages between fascism and violence.

In high contrast black and white on flat white paper.  Check out a nice 8-page preview, courtesy Fantagraphics, HERE.
