Horus #[8]
In "La araña," a quiet moment in a dimly lit room unravels into something uncanny: a bookmark pulls free, revealing the tail of a mouse; a spider hangs from a tangled abstract painting that seems to breathe; and a woman rewinds a man’s sweater, pulling a thread that feels like it’s leading somewhere it shouldn’t. Written and illustrated by Cesc, this surreal tale from 1975 blends quiet unease with delicate, dreamlike visuals—each panel a knot in a story that refuses to be untangled. Cover by Cesc.
In a quietly absurd twist of fate, two men locked in a tug-of-war over a single scarf find themselves sharing it—just as an ambulance races through the city, pursued by a smaller one carrying the man’s dog. Meanwhile, a man lights three cigarettes using a candelabro, a moment of stillness in the day’s chaos.
In a quiet moment of reading, a man pulls a bookmark—only to find it’s the tail of a mouse. A spider hangs from a tangled abstract painting, its thread a mirror of the artwork’s chaos. Meanwhile, a woman tugs a loose yarn from a man’s sweater, reweaving it with quiet intent.
