Beatnik Buenos Aires

In Beatnik Buenos Aires, writer and artist Facundo Percio brings a poetic, gritty energy to Fantagraphics with a single-issue comic that captures the bohemian underbelly of 1960s Argentina. This series, launched in 2021, follows a young poet navigating the vibrant, chaotic streets of Buenos Aires, where art, politics, and rebellion collide. Percio’s expressive black-and-white art and lyrical storytelling evoke the spirit of the Beat Generation, offering a fresh, intimate look at a countercultural moment rarely explored in comics.
