Features: This series is a collection of comic works by the Argentine comic master Modigliano. The selected over 1,200 comics encompass the finest works created by the author over more than 40 years. Modigliano's comics possess a distinct artistic personality and unique style. In his works, he employs vibrant colors and transcendent, surreal imagination, hence his creations are always imbued with a rich romanticism. Additionally, Modigliano incorporates his unique insights into life into his works, giving them profound intellectual depth. Overall, his works are humorous, engaging, accessible to both the elite and the masses, and suitable for all ages, adding a vibrant touch to our ordinary lives. In Modigliano's comics, the role of desire in a person's body is the same as its role in real life—it is dominant. In his works, some basic scenes recur repeatedly. First, a person tries to conquer a member of the opposite sex; second, a person resorts to various methods to eliminate another person. Modigliano only needs two characters, who are actually very similar: a man and a woman. They both have the same round bellies and potato-like noses. However, using such noses as the breasts of a female character is a unique creation by Modigliano. Moreover, his ideas are distinctive. For years, humorists worldwide have agreed that the theme of "island" has become unremarkable. But Modigliano always manages to create something fresh. The theme of giraffes is the same—over the years, the long necks of giraffes seem to have been exhausted by humorists.
