THE BEST OF MAITENA

This book is a selection and also a mix: a selection of three hundred pages among the more than thousand drawn in the course of my life, and a miscellany of cartoon stories and stand-alone jokes from different periods and styles, with some added pencil sketches I had never published before. I shortened titles, erased speech bubbles and supressed entire frames … It was sort of a dream: to be able to choose the best of my work, and create with that a brand new book. If life gave us an opportunity like this, happiness would be guaranteed.
