Franzen, Jonathan

The climate crisis is here. Our chance to stop it has come and gone, but this doesn’t have to mean the world is ending.‘If you care about the planet, and about the people and animals who live on it, there are two ways to think about this. You can keep on hoping that catastrophe is preventable, and feel ever more frustrated or enraged by the world’s inaction. Or you can accept that disaster is coming, and begin to rethink what it means to have hope.’The honesty and realism of Jonathan Franzen’s writings on climate have been widely denounced and just as widely celebrated. Here, in his definitive statement on the subject, Franzen confronts the world’s failure to avert destabilising climate change and takes up the question: Now what?

El personaje, un gran éxito entre los fans y un secundario habitual en Los 4 Fantásticos, tocó la fibra sensible de Lee, quien ardía en deseos de hacerlo protagonista de sus propias historias. Pero había que esperar el momento adecuado.En la primavera de 1968, el autor y el personaje tuvieron su oportunidad, y Lee presentó el primer cómic de tamaño doble de Silver Surfer. Lee también reclutó al dibujante John Buscema, quien recientemente había contribuido con su extraordinario arte a Los Vengadores. Juntos crearon una serie de aventuras legendarias que ayudaron a definir el personaje para siempre.Este tomo XXL de tamaño cósmico de la serie Marvel Comics Library, ganadora del premio Eisner, recopila las historias más destacadas de los 18 números de Silver Surfer de 1968 (con un número final ilustrado por Jack ''King'' Kirby y reproduce fotográficamente los cómics originales mejor conservados, un trabajo realizado en estrecha colaboración con Marvel y Certified Guaranty Company.Cada página se ha fotografiado tal como se imprimió hace más de medio siglo.
