The Cabbie: Definitive Edition

Fantagraphics / · english

The countercultural cult Spanish graphic novel The Cabbie, inspired by the social critique of Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver and the style of Chester Gould's Dick Tracy, is complete in English for the first time! Coupling the grand guignol morality of Paul Schrader and Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver with the squashed black-and-white perspectives and grotesque human physiognomy (and humanity) that defines Chester Gould's Dick Tracy, Martí's The Cabbie (starring the eponymous "hero" known only as the Cabbie) was first published in installments in 1980s Spain, a product of a life lived under, and coming out of, Franco's fascist dictatorship.
