Chaplin en América

October 1912. Charles Spencer Chaplin arrives in the United States with a head full of dreams and ambitions. His name is already seen in large lights on Fifth Avenue. How a boy, born in a London slum, the son of two failed artist parents, an alcoholic father, and a deranged mother, could become, at the age of 25, the greatest filmmaker of his day and turn Hollywood at his feet; the inventor of modern cinema, visionary creator and exceptional actor, living legend, voice of the ragged, the miserable, the vagabonds, and an immensely wealthy producer, an artist engaged in all the battles of his time, severe with his own, and whose love of women made him a colossus with feet of clay in Puritan America. It is this conquest of America that this first volume portrays. From a life of Oliver Twist-style misery to the absolute glory of a giant, adored from New York to San Francisco, already threatened by passion for and political commitment. This first adventure began in 1910 when he left England for the United States and ended around 1920, in full notoriety since he was already one of the most famous personalities in the world. In large format and with modern graphics, the reconstruction of the life of a universal myth. First volume of the biography of Charles Chaplin in comics.
