Trazo de tiza

A small streak of an island in the Atlantic. On no map. In heavy summer heat. Memories and messages graffitied on the pier wall. A chance encounter with a beautiful elusive woman. A murder. Or was it? Nothing seems completely real. Only the graffitied memories are constant. This is a dream-like, experimental and beautifully colored "impossible" story about a man on an island, who can't distinguish dream and reality, or the present and the past. Trazo de Tiza has earned a long list of international awards, including the 1994 Alph Art Award in Angoulome, the Best Book of the 1994 Salon del Comic in Barcelona, the 1993 award for Best Book by the Association of Special Booksellers in France, Honor Award from the Amadora (Portugal) book fair, the 1994 Austrian Critics Award as Best Book of the Year and the 1994 Best Book of the Year Award of the Hyores (France) book fair. The 1995 English edition, Streak of Chalk, was nominated for both Harvey and Eisner Awards.
