Alberto Breccia is recognized as one of the greatest international cartoonists in the history of comics and Mort Cinder is considered one of his finest achievements. Created in collaboration with the Argentine writer Héctor Germán Oesterheld, best known in the U.S. for his politically incendiary sci-fi masterpiece, the Eisner Award-winning The Eternaut, Mort Cinder is a horror story with political overtones. This episodic serial, written and drawn between 1962–1964, is drawn by Breccia in moody chiaroscuro. The artist’s rubbery, expressionistic faces capture every glint in the eyes of the grave robbers, sailors, and slaves that populate these stories; while the slash of stripes of prisoners’ uniforms, the trapeziums of Babylon, and more create distinct and evocative milieus.

Perramus follows the existential odyssey of a political dissident. When the skull-faced Death Squad comes for him, he flees, voluntarily loses his memory and takes up the name Perramus from the brand of his raincoat. Accompanied by two unlikely figures, he travels to outlandish locals where they encounter a variety of eccentric characters. This collection is an act of resistance, having been written under the Argentinian military dictatorship.

Alberto Breccia's Dracula is composed of a series of brutally funny satirical misadventures starring the hapless eponymous antihero. Literally defanged (a humiliating trip to the dentist doesn't help), the protagonist's glory days are long behind him and other, more sinister villains (a corrupt government, overtly backed by American imperialism) are sickening and draining the life out of the villagers far more than one creature of the night ever could. This is the first painted, full-color entry in Fantagraphics' artist-focused Alberto Breccia Library, and the atmospheric palette adds mood and dimension. It also includes a sketchbook showing the artist's process. Dracula has no co-author, and so Breccia's carnivalesque vision is as pure Breccia as it gets. Created during the last of a succession of Argentine military dictatorships (1982-1983), this series of short comics stories ran in Spain's Comix Internacional periodical in 1984. The moral purpose of Breccia's expressionistic art style is made explicit; he shows that every ounce of his grotesque, bloated characters' flesh and blood has been cruelly extracted from the less fortunate.

Ezra Winston, anticuario londinense, vive rodeado de objetos que evocan recuerdos del tiempo al que pertenecieron. Un día llega a su vida Mort Cinder, un misterioso personaje inmortal, un hombre que muere y resucita, y cuyos recuerdos, avivados por los objetos de la tienda de Ezra, le llevarán a rememorar historias de sus vidas pasadas, como un simple ladrillo que despierta sus recuerdos de obrero de la torre de Babel, o un antiguo jarrón griego que, en un episodio magistral, arrastra a Mort a revivir la batalla de las Termópilas, en la que él sabe lo que pasó porque fue el único espartano superviviente. Publicado en la revista argentina Misterix entre 1962 y 1964, Mort Cinder fue escrito por Héctor G. Oesterheld (El Eternauta) y dibujado por Alberto Breccia (Informe sobre ciegos, Los mitos de Cthulhu), quienes ya habían colaborado anteriormente en Sherlock Time, y está considerada como una de las obras más importantes de la historieta de todos los tiempos. Las páginas reproducidas en esta edición proceden en su inmensa mayoría de escaneos directos de los originales de Alberto Breccia. El resto se ha impreso a partir de los materiales en mejor estado que hemos podido localizar.
