Rius para principiantes
La biografía del monero contada al más puro estilo Rius. La biografía del monero contada al más puro estilo Rius. Esta especie de libro se llama Rius para principiantes y trata de ser un recuento (o recuerdo, ya se me olvidó) de los primeros 40 años como caricaturista. "Parecía fácil, pero el intento de resumir en un libro 40 años en el mono o en los monos para que no suene fuerte, resultó una hazaña digna de don Hércules el trabajoso."
Mao For Beginners

Not Just for Children
This pioneering study presents an overview of the Mexican comic book industry, together with in-depth studies of the best selling Mexican comic books of the 1960s and 1970s. Most of the popular superhero, adventure, humor, romance, political, detective, and Western comic books are described and analyzed in detail, and then discussed in terms of how they reflect both Mexican and United States cultures. The study concludes with a critical discussion of the media imperialism hypothesis' applicability to the Mexican comic book. The comic book is Mexico's most popular print medium, read by all ages and socio-economic groups. Many may be surprised to learn that, in Mexico, Mexican comic books far outsell U.S. comic books in Spanish translation. The Mexican comic book is not a clone of its U.S. model, but rather a hybrid product that mixes U.S. forms and conventions with Mexican content. This work is a major contribution to the understanding of contemporary Mexican culture.
Identity and History in Non-Anglophone Comics
This book explores the historical and cultural significance of comics in languages other than English, examining the geographic and linguistic spheres which these comics inhabit and their contributions to comic studies and academia. The volume brings together texts across a wide range of genres, styles, and geographic locations, including the Netherlands, Colombia, Greece, Mexico, Poland, Finland, Portugal, Ireland, and the Czech Republic, among others. These works have remained out of reach for speakers of languages other than the original and do not receive the scholarly attention they deserve due to their lack of English translations. This book highlights the richness and diversity these works add to the corpus of comic art and comic studies that Anglophone comics scholars can access to broaden the collective perspective of the field and forge links across regions, genres, and comic traditions. Part of the Global Perspectives in Comics Studies series, this volume spans continents and languages. It will be of interest to researchers and students of comics studies, literature, cultural studies, popular culture, art and design, illustration, history, film studies, and sociology.

El Ja-já de Rius
¡Dibujos nunca antes vistos! Presentaciones de Sergio Aragonés y Ariel Rosales «Eduardo del Río, Rius, logró con su trabajo lo que ningún otro dibujante de humor en el mundo entero ha logrado: ser la voz de su país natal desenmascarando falsedades con su fino sentido del humor y sus consejos. Mi amigo, monero y maestro.» - Sergio Aragonés «Este chiste mudo, como tantos otros que aparecen en El Ja-já de Rius, de acuerdo con la teoría de Chesterton, no son sino "la locura con la locura como objetivo, como se dice del arte por el arte, o más propiamente de la belleza por la belleza".
