Animal Urbano #7
"La noche del puente" in Animal Urbano #7 (2000) delivers a chilling, atmospheric tale from writer Guillermo Grillo Ciocchini and artist Edu Molina, whose distinct pencils and inks bring a gritty, dreamlike tension to Buenos Aires’ shadowed corners. Through Rafael Fortunato Fachotti’s unsettling encounter in a backroom video shop, the story unfolds with a slow-burn dread as he faces a devil-like figure offering power and a contract—only to reject both, leaving the consequences hanging in the air. The cover by Edu Molina captures the issue’s brooding mood, with his bold inks grounding the surreal in the real.
In "La noche del puente," a provincial schoolteacher recounts a desperate protest over unpaid salaries, where demonstrators occupy a bridge only to face brutal crackdowns by gendarmes using live .22 caliber rounds. Amid the chaos, an unidentified figure—later hinted to be Animal Urbano—steps in as the violence escalates, but not before the teacher’s former student, Marcelo, is fatally wounded.
In "El pacto de Fachotti," Rafael Fortunato Fachotti finds himself face-to-face with a devil-like figure in the dim back room of a Buenos Aires video shop, where supernatural power and a murder contract are offered in exchange for a single, deadly promise. Though shown visions of his potential and the allure of a transformed life, Fachotti resists the temptation, turning away from both the power and the kill—leaving the deal unsealed and his fate uncertain.
