  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Louder Than Words by Sergio Aragones
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Louder Than Words by Sergio Aragonés Sergio Aragonés. Sergio Aragonés Domenech was born in San Mateo, Spain, but moved to France and eventually Mexico, because of the Civil War. He grew up in Mexico City, producing streams of cartoons for his friends. In 1953, one of these friends sent some to the Mexican humor magazine Ja Ja, which printed them. He also began a collaboration with the magazine Mañana. The Smokehouse Five. He studied architecture for a while, and worked as a clown and pantomime artist, which he learned under the guidance of Alejandro Jodorowsky. Aragonés headed for the USA in 1962, where he began his longtime collaboration with MAD magazine. Aragonés became known for his section 'A Mad Look At. ' and his many pantomime comic strips, called marginals, which were inserted into the margins and between panels of the magazine. Aragonés has contributed to nearly every issue of MAD since 1963. In the late sixties, Aragonés began a collaboration with DC Comics, drawing for titles like 'Angel and the Ape', 'Inferior Five', 'Young Romance' and 'Jerry Lewis', as well as some horror anthologies. He also served as a plotter for other artists and co-created serials like the western 'Bat Lash' and the humor title 'Plop!' (1973-1976). He started his classic fantasy parody 'Groo the Wanderer' with scripts by Marc Evanier in the alternative comic book Destroyer Duck in 1982. As a creator-owned book, 'Groo' has since been published by a number of publishers, including Pacific Comics, Eclipse Comics, Marvel Comics (under the Epic Comics imprint), Image Comics and Dark Horse Comics.

  • 'The Wall That Heals' Hits Nahant
    MONDAY JULY 19, 2021 By Tréa Lavery Swampscott Conservancy ITEM STAFF SWAMPSCOTT — The Swampscott Conservancy is advocating for a ban on balloons in the town, saying that they have a detrimental effect on the airing out its case environment and on animals that may ingest them. In a post on the Conservancy’s website, President Toni Bandrowicz ac- knowledged that balloons are a bright and fun way of celebrating happy against balloons events, but asked residents to consider the negative impacts as well as the positive. “To protect nature in our neighborhood, perhaps it’s time for Swamp- scott to consider such a by-law — or at least a policy that bans balloons at town-sponsored events, on town-owned properties, or for any events requir- ing town approval,” Bandrowicz said. “The town should promote the use of non-disposable, reusable decorations for such events, not balloons and other single-use plastic decorations.” A handful of communities in Massachusetts have already enacted similar rules, including Chatham, Everett, Nantucket and Provincetown. In 2019, State Representative Sarah Peake of Provincetown introduced a bill that would ban “the sale, distribution and release of any type of balloon, includ- ing, but not limited to, plastic, latex or mylar, lled with any type of lighter BALLOONS, A3 Lynn, Revere and MBTA mapping out transit plan By Allysha Dunnigan ITEM STAFF The Massachusetts Bay Transporta- tion Authority (MBTA) announced its collaboration with municipal partners, including Revere and Lynn, for a series of bus priority projects that will construct up to 4.8 miles of bus lanes — and other pro-transit infrastructure upgrades — to improve bus speed and reliability as the region re-opens from COVID-19-related regulations.
