Voyage to Hell
This is the reconstruction of
a comic, created by the Spa-
nish artist Miqué Beltran and
published in the weekend edi-
tion of EL PAIS, Madrid, in the
1980s. There it came to my
attention and I tried to get my
hands on the complete edi-
tion. As Miqué had chosen
Paris for the stage of his plot,
I even tried to get a French
copy, though without any suc-
cess. Furthermore, there were
rumours, Miqué had left this
earth under similar circum-
stances like the protagonist
of his story. It is therefore
that I decided to publish some
fragments from that remark-
able comic. May you find it
as intriguing as I do. - W.W.
