Best known Latin American comic book! By Quino.
Diviértete con la adorable Mafalda y demás personajes del inigualable Quino
«Mafalda es una heroína de nuestro tiempo.»
Umberto Eco
Mafalda es, junto a sus amigos Felipe, Susanita, Manolito, Miguelito y Libertad, un símbolo de nuestra sociedad. Una niña inconformista, solidaria y sensible que nació en 1964, como decía Quino, como "una niña que intenta resolver el dilema de quiénes son los buenos y quiénes los malos en este mundo". Desde el principio dio muestras de un gran espíritu crítico, y ya en sus primeras viñetas le construía un diván a su muñeca para psicoanalizarla. Hoy Mafalda sigue invitándonos a pensar, a huir del prejuicio, a amar y a soñar con un mundo mejor, y seguimos acudiendo a ella para conseguir entendernos a nosotros mismos y al loco mundo en que vivimos.
"Mafalda es una heroína de nuestro tiempo", dijo Umberto Eco, su primer editor en Europa, y los grandes temas a los que se enfrenta son los de todo ser humano: el amor, la solidaridad, el odio, los celos, la amistad, la soledad, la incomprensión, la empatía, el miedo... Quino creó una obra universal en la que lo encontramos todo, y por eso decimos que "Todo está en Mafalda".
Los volúmenes de tiras de Mafalda, numerados de 0 a 10, son los volúmenes originales que empezaron a publicarse como libros individuales a partir de 1966 y siguen hoy más vivos que nunca.
La crítica ha dicho...
«Quino, el grande Quino, seguirá vivo en su Mafalda, que nos enseñó que, como siempre, lo urgente no deja tiempo para lo importante.»
Héctor Abad Faciolince
«Nunca he amado a una mujer que no haya amado previamente a Mafalda.»
Manuel Jabois
«Qué importante has sido en nuestras vidas. [...] Siempre estaban tus viñetas dando sentido a los detalles absurdos de la vida y la sociedad. Cada lección era un guiño de risa silenciosa que se volvía carcajada y suspiro, filosofía pura, crítica social, lenguaje de gestos expresivos y pequeños detalles, el humor más refinado concentrado en los dibujos. Qué gran compañero has sido.»
