STREET COP

The highly anticipated new work by Art Spiegelman. A work that is already a cult object. The pen of a great writer - Robert Coover, one of the masters of American literature - meets the genius of Art Spiegelman in a jewel of satire and transgression. In the very near future, a policeman struggles to preserve his humanity among robot deliverymen, synthetic drug dealers, and killer drones. The world imagined by Robert Coover is a dystopia. But it is too similar to ours not to be subtly disturbing. The city is in chaos, crimes are out of control despite systematic surveillance, violence and degradation permeate everything. And nothing is really what it seems, every street corner hides a possible surprise, or a danger. In this sometimes psychedelic, always disturbing scenario, a policeman moves like many others. He would like to do his duty, behave decently, maybe find some human warmth. But is he strong enough not to be crushed by the system? Robert Coover sketches a science fiction story that becomes satire, denunciation. Art Spiegelman, author of one of the works that have forever changed the history of comics, in Street Cop puts himself, with the humility of the masters, at the service of others' words and recovers the underground style of the beginnings, to give life to a story as irreverent as it is entertaining.
