Julio Cortazar and Fantomas...
A long time ago I thought I had read that Cortazar had written a comic book based on Fantomas. I loved Cortazar although his stories grow tedious if you read too many in succession. But I did like the idea that he had made the foray into a genre like cartoons decades before it was hip to do so. The name of the comic is called "Fantomas versus the Multinational Vampires". It would be cool if someone could interpret this and release it. In any case there are several selections of artwork you can find on Google.
Here's a short description of Cortazar's work:
In the mid-1970s Argentinian novelist Julio Cortazar incorporated the comic-book Fantomas into a short novel based on his experiences investigating human-rights abuses in Latin America. Cortazar, a latter-day surrealist who was also undoubtedly aware of Fantômas’ original incarnations in the Souvestre-Allain novels and Feuillade’s films, wrote a highly self-reflexive story in which panels from the comic book (drawn by Editorial Novaro’s artists) alternate with text describing the narrator’s experiences. In the story, entitled Fantomas contra los vampiros multinacionales (Fantomas versus the multinational vampires), the narrator (autobiographically named Julio Cortazar) has been collecting testimony on human rights abuses in Latin America, including the 1973 CIA-sponsored coup in Chile against the democratically elected Marxist government of Salvador Allende. The narrator buys a copy of the Fantomas comic book to read on the train, and becomes absorbed in the story in which Fantomas is battling a nefarious conspiracy which is destroying the world’s libraries and museums. Soon the worlds of the comic book, the novella, and reality have completely interpenetrated, and Fantomas discovers that those responsible for the destruction of the world’s cultures are also those responsible for the poverty and political repression in Latin America. Bringing these men to justice is a task too great for any one man, of course, even Fantomas.
