Zipi y Zape

From the first page, Zipi and Zape launched into life with innate happiness, in search of adventures in the daily life of home and school, a backdrop marked by the rules and demands of adults. "The most hooligan twins of the TBO" or "The terrible Zipi and Zape" are some of the expressions that reflect the simplicity with which adults interpret childhood behavior and the price that boys and girls pay for their courage, their curiosity, his delusion of adventures and, ultimately, for putting freedom and happiness first. Josep Escobar not only loved them and offered them a life full of adventures, but he also treated them with great care and delicacy, typical of a father's love. This book is a hug to the eternal brothers who have accompanied so many generations and continue to do so; a celebration of twins that have made us laugh and have taught us the meaning of being boys and girls. It is also a tribute to their devoted creator, who not only gave them shape and life in his published comics, but also captured their most revealing ingenuity in a multitude of lines, vignettes and drawings -as the unpublished material in this book shows. The definitive book on Zipi and Zape, with texts by the expert Antoni Guiral, cartoons and unpublished material by Escobar.
