PS: I really hate write in english on Tumblr because I feel I am very boring and I wish write funnier and cooler stuff but I can´t. I have to use google translator and that is very lame.

I think it’s the colours, paper and quality of print that brought this book to my attention. The intense, almost abstract cover leads to a beautiful two tone orange interior and the story begins to unfold.
A Tunnel to Another Place(by @apolocacho), also titled A Paradise for the Aztecs is a meditation on the desperate and almost insane state of life as we know it in the modern age, poignantly illustrated in a jagged, bleached out and ultimately compelling manner. Short, sharp tales of life, death, money and despair combined with jarring, almost hallucinatory visuals blend to deliver a punchy critique un where humankind finds itself in this present slow motion extinction event often referred to as life.
As I said, the production values drew me to this comic, published by 2dcloud. Orbital has a small selection of gorgeous books and comics from these guys – I highly recommend them.
