GUSTAVO ALÁVAREZ
Un ensayo gráfico divertido e irreverente sobre los modos enq ue el Che Guevara se transformó de héroe revolucionario en icono pop. El rock, el fútbol, la literatura, la poesía y la historieta lo invocaron. El cine lo embalsamó. ¿Cuál de todos los Che Guevara que vemos a diario sigue vivo?
Rock music took over his image: from The Clash and Manic Street Preachers to Los Fabulosos Cadillacs and El Tri. Soccer tattooed his image on an arm: Diego Armando Maradona. Fiction, poetry and comic evoked him: from Roque Dalton and Julio Cortázar to the Breccia brothers and Jon Lee Anderson. Cinema embalmed him: from Benicio del Toro and Gael García Bernal to Omar Shariff and Antonio Banderas. Which one of the many Che Guevara we see daily is the one that is still alive?
