The Formentera Office of Culture is pleased to report that this April, Marià Villangómez Library has scheduled a book presentation for the Diada de Sant Jordi 2022.
Author Lluís Ferrer will present his book Cómics y censura: De Wonderwoman a Charlie Hebdo at 7.00pm next Thursday 21 April. He will be accompanied by Maite Ferrer. Born in Cala Mestella in 1971, Lluís Ferrer is one of the most prestigious writers, essayists and screenwriters of our time. The writer says that this book reflects the censorship that has always been present in comics, from the 1930s to date. The most recent example of this censorship involved one of the final issues of the Marvel Comics-published series Conan, for which the author drew a young woman in a bikini which was altered for a dress that has nothing to do with the original image.
Cómics y censura was inspired by lectures that Ferrer gave last year, one of which was held at Marià Villangómez Library in December. In addition to the subject matter covered in the lectures, the book includes covers, illustrations and documents of censorship, among other novelties.
