"Last days of penumbra" by Max Becco / Edited by Energía Ilustrada.
By Demian Urdin
These last few weeks have been difficult. Several positive cases in my family, two preventive isolations by close contact. Four jobs at the same time. An excruciating headache and a throbbing left eye for a few hours. I choose to open that email that they had sent to Script and Drawing, I felt at fault with the artist who had given us his book and I wanted a moment of distraction.
Max Becco was not in my library, neither in physics nor in digital. The journey through “Last Days of Twilight” would be without preconceptions, without prefabricated ideas like those that usually accompany the reading of artists who already know the trajectory, the traps and the common places. The immersion was total and in hindsight I think I should have taken some precautions.
The book is awash in awkward, messy, dirty, and annoying lines. The walls have scratches, black lines, very black. Beards prick, nails scrape. Everything in Becco's work exhibits surfaces that hurt when touched. As we advance in the story, the darkness drags us with it, full blacks that begin to suffocate the reading. Fear advances in a story that does not pay attention to introductions or prologues.
The drawing may initially appear incorrect, sloppy, or unprofessional. But you know what? It is the right tone for this story, no one else would have achieved this harmony with the intention of making us cling to the edge of the chair and we find ourselves clenching our fists from the tension. Despite this, I found passages in which the script loses credibility, where the fictional pact is broken by resorting to overly complex sentences, difficult to imagine in River Plate speech. All that power that drawing achieves in its simplicity contrasts with a narrative that is sometimes too philosophical.
Becco describes the book as a struggle with her own demons, a rite of passage and breaking, a path of liberation. What he does not warn, and here the betrayal behind "Last days of twilight", is where that fierce evil and those immaterial specters go. Dear readers, avoid dark places if you have this book close by and do not close your eyes along the way.
