Rosa Codina

ABLAZE is shining the spotlight on the wide variety of genres and fantastic works within our catalogue! Our second Spotlight on Euro-Comics includes three comic titles – The Library Mule of Cordoba, Rompepistas, and The King of the Moths – bundled together under a specially discounted price. In The Library Mule of Cordoba: The Caliphate of Al-Andalus, after a great period of peace and learning, faces a power struggle after the death of the Caliph al-Hakam II. In exchange for the support of radical clergymen, the vizier Amir seeks to burn the books of Cordoba's famed library to ash. The night before the biggest bonfire ever, the head librarian, a chubby eunuch named Tarid, gathers up all the books he can and loads them onto the back of a passing mule. He takes off in the hopes of saving what he can of universal knowledge. In Rompepistas: Rompepistas is seventeen years old. He's a punk, he lives on the outskirts of Barcelona, and he does everything for the music: Generation X, The Clash, The Jam, Las Duelistas... That last one's his own group, where he plays the guitar and bellows into the microphone. It's all about playing to keep the sadness at bay and to never cry again. When you start playing, everything changes. All the shit clears up. In The King of Moths: Ele and Tonya are celebrating their fourth anniversary, but what was going to be a romantic night will end up turning into the end of their relationship. They don't know it yet, but the nightmare has only just begun: SOMETHING WANTS TO FEED ON THEIR FEELINGS, savoring the good, and leaving only the bad... and it won't stop until there's nothing left.

In her first graphic novel, Rosa Codina adapts Kiko Amat's coming-of-age novel about the wild years of adolescence. Rompepistas is seventeen years old.
