Tom’s taste for police officers and felons—and for sexual tension
between the two—developed late in his career. “I’ve never been to
prison,” he told a class at the California Institute of the Arts in
1985, “but I hear it’s a closed world where there are different
roles and people behave different from when they walk free. It
fascinates me. It is another subject I come back to again and
again.” By which he meant fantasized about again and again, since
only those subjects that aroused him sexually made it into his
art.The uniforms of the California Highway Patrol motorcyclists
were his favorite: tan and tight, with high boots and soft black
leather gauntlet gloves. He created his own uniform variants as
well, a cross between military and civilian police gear, and
invented suitably butch criminals for his cops to apprehend, though
once apprehended the power struggle could go either way. Tom was
determined to show top and bottom as equally masculine roles, and
his cops were as likely to end up happily speared by criminal cock
as delivering corrective coitus. Though criticized by some for what
appeared to be a glorification of power, Tom was always quick to
remind that the world he created was a fantasy world, where
anything was possible, and everything was consensual—even in
prison.The Little Book of Tom: Cops &,amp, Robbers explores
Tom’s fascination with criminal justice through a mixture of
multi-panel comics and single-panel drawings and paintings, all in
a compact and affordable 192 pages. Historic film stills and
posters, personal photos of Tom, sketches, and Tom’s own reference
photos make this far more than another Tom’s Comics re-tread.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
