>>68524>Published in periodic issues at the beginning of the 90's in the popular Argentine magazine Skorpio (and recently collected for the first time in a single volume in Spanish), Acero líquido is recognized as one of the fundamental works of the creative couple formed by the cartoonist Enrique Alcatena and the scriptwriter Eduardo Mazzitelli.
>To read Acero líquido in one go is to embark on a series of successive tours de force that gain in unpredictability and delirium as you go along. At the end of the nearly 300 pages of the volume, one is left with the sensation of having taken a lysergic trip, from leap to leap, the next one more fantastic than the previous one. Everything begins in a future that is full of the past, something has happened that has made the world go backwards and forward at the same time until it becomes a place of fantasy where everything is possible. In that world there are kingdoms, but no armies. Each kingdom has a champion in charge of its defense. In the kingdom of the Great Lord lives the protagonist of the story, Hark, a daring jester whose greatest pleasure is to mock the Great Lord publicly (going to the tower where the three chaste daughters of the monarch sleep, for example: “Your daughters will have bastard sons, sir! They will have them soon…!”). Until the Great Grandfather (a mad scientist-magician), lobotomizes Hark and turns him into the warrior defender of the kingdom. But the one who literally steals every scene he appears in is Hybrid (another one of Big Grandpa's experiments), a fusion between child and feline who goes through the world driven by his infinite desire for fun and entertainment.
>Of course, this is only the beginning of an adventure that unfolds over 20 chapters in which Mazzitelli manages to make his story full of monsters, heroes, sorcerers and maidens, transmute like liquid metal (thanks to the remarkable services of Alcatena's dreamlike pen). Perhaps the weakest point of Liquid Steel is the too marked tendency of its scriptwriter to fall into the fable, even in the formerly famous genre of the enxiemplo, where a very short and simple story left at the end a practical and moralizing teaching. Of course, in spite of the formal solemnity of the language and its sententious turns of phrase, there is a powerful charge of humor and corrosive irony that runs through Hark's journey until its apotheotic ending, through the natural ups and downs of a story published in the form of a monthly serial for almost two years.
>Los Madramanes se alimentan exclusivamente de Jífaros, duendes que viven en la profundidad de la tierra (por temor a los Madramanes) y que a su vez practican la antropofagia. Para cazarlos, los Madramanes zapatean fuertemente contra el suelo y lanzan gritos anunciando el fin del mundo. Los Jífaros (que son ciertamente crédulos) salen de su escondite pensando en la urgencia de comerse algunos hombres antes de que le Humanidad se extinga y son sorprendidos por los Madramanes, que los desmayan a garrotazos y los devoran sin masticarlos. Podría creerse que la razón de la existencia de los Madramanes es cumplir con alguna forma de equilibrio ecológico. Hay quien afirma que los Jíbaros son en verdad seres míticos, sin existencia real, pero eso plantearía el interrogante de por qué los Madramanes no mueren por falta de alimento.https://archive.org/details/aceroliquidoeduardomazzitelliquiquealcatenaeagza/page/n187/mode/2up No.68561
