Zr + 4HC1 → ZrC14 + 2H2U + 3F2 → UF6 by Roberto Altmann in its entirety as published in Signos [mag] # 3 (Consejo Nacional de Cultura [of Cuba], 1970). Comics, as mixed media, is a perfect vehicle to practice hypergraphics. Roberto Altmann's drawing style is not far from psychedelia.

While people may have different views still good things should always be appreciated. Yours is a nice blog. Liked it!!!. . We wish you all the best for this memorable paintings, by the team of Famous Artists??
Thanks so much for publishing these! I just found Altmann's name in a story of Bolaño's and was intrigued to find out more about him. These images look like a great place to start...
Thanks famous Artists and Jeremy! You're also welcome Jeremy. Signos is not an easy mag to find. I'm looking for # 21 myself. I'm a huge fan of Chago Armada and this particular issue published some of his very hard to find great comic strips. Needless to say that, until now, no luck at all...
You may find more work by Roberto in some Lettrist anthologies. Good hunting!...
Did you notice the artist has a cameo appearance, in the fifth panel of p.6.
I think this Altmann has successfully abstracted the form of comix. I see the panels running across the page and the characters with speech balloons above their heads and my immediate reaction is "Ooh, comix!" and I look at it on one level trying to understand what story the artist is telling. There's a similar (though not exactly) thing with reading Codex Seraphinianus. The panels are a Rohrschach blot for me to project my hopes and fears onto.
(Sorry, I meant "fifth panel of p. 7".)
Do you mean the blueprint of the machine? Page 7 is very interesting. It seems that the army is having doubts, but the powers that be convince them with scientific data and hypnotize them.
Ooops! I commited a mistake also. I described page 8.
In the panel that you describe there's only letters. I distinguish the word "Carlos," and the word "Roberto." You're right.
Hola, Isabelinho. He tomado las imágenes de este post para publicar en mi blog, citando la fuente. Siendo que es la primera vez que incurro en esta "práctica", creo pertinente ponerte al tanto del "robo" e invitarte a pasar por mi blog. Desde ya, te agradezco muchísimo poner al alcance de todos estas páginas.
Salud.
