1983 - Perramus Book 1 Chapter 6

Perramus is an extraordinary graphic novel by Alberto Breccia, a journey through memory in which fragments of reality, fiction, and history intertwine.
It is the story of a man who let his fellow rebels die and who wants to redeem himself by forgetting his past and his history in the arms of a prostitute. He will be Perramus, a man without memory in search of redemption, who will travel the world with companions of fortune who are Canelones, the Enemy and Jorge Luis Borgès.

"The main reason that pushed me to start Perrramus was the need to bear witness to everything that happened in Argentina during the time of the military dictatorship. It was my duty to do it. The drawing was was, and still is, my only weapon. With this weapon, I protest was a cry of protest, a cry of revolt." (Alberto Breccia in "Ombres et lumières", Vertige Graphic, 1992)

"From 1976 to 1983, the US backed a brutal, anti-communist coup and dictatorship in Argentina that disappeared thousands of so-called subversives in the name of preserving social order. Perramus: The City and Oblivion was conceived in the regime’s penultimate year and published in Europe the year after its collapse.

The novel’s title character—an amnesiac who assumes the name of the clothing manufacturer he finds on the label inside his borrowed coat—embodies the psychic toll Argentina suffered. The novel’s absurdist narratives map a parallel universe that reflects the real-world horror of the authors’ home.

The fabric of universe is rendered in artist Alberto Breccia‘s eclectically surreal and monolithically black-and-white style - dominated by painterly brushwork - is alien to most US and Franco-Belgian comics of the same decade.
While conforming to rigid three-row layouts with unframed and uninterrupted gutter edges, the textured interiors of Breccia’s panels are revolutionary in their combination of precision and expressionistic energy.

Breccia’s range of materials and techniques (“ink, acrylic, graphite, collage, scraping, staining, dripping, etc.”) is stunning, but that variety remains unified by his signature line and the use of the whole grayscale.
While faces dominate his frames, Breccia imbues buildings and landscapes with equal energy, often pushing toward complete abstraction." (https://www.popmatters.com/juan-sasturain-alberto-breccia-perramus-2646408666.html)
