But his sumptuous images stemmed from a mind in torment, especially later in his life. Goya: The Terrible Sublime is a graphic novel inspired by Goya's life, in particular focusing on his final years, as he struggles with assorted physical ailments that threaten to take his mind as well. Recovering in Cadiz, Spain, from a serious illness that has left him deaf, Goya suffers from terrible headaches, high fevers, and hallucinations, beset by visions of death that will become all too real with the advent of the Spanish War of Independence. Still, the monsters in his delusions are not real -- but his friend Asensio Juliá is, and he belongs to another world. From the mind of the terror master El Torres and the art of Fran Galán comes a terrifying story that brings readers into the artist's world of madness and dark paintings, a historical miasma populated by recognizable figures like Manuel Godoy and the Duchess of Alba and swathed in an aesthetic of cobweb-shrouded palaces and beautiful grotesques living in the shadows. This unique graphic novel tells a horror story, melding the artist's unique style and vision with the story of a man plagued by unreality. Yet even as the artist faces dreadful images of witchcraft and pure evil, he knows that he must not fall into what lurks beyond the dream of reason. 546 Translated from the Spanish. 600 10 Goya, Francisco,|d1746-1828|vComic books, strips, etc. 600 10 Goya, Francisco,|d1746-1828|xPsychology|vComic books, strips, etc. 600 10 Goya, Francisco,|d1746-1828|xDeath and burial|vComic books, strips, etc. 650 0 Painters|zSpain|vBiography|vComic books, strips, etc. 650 0 Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 Graphic novels. 655 7 Comics (Graphic works)|2lcgft 655 7 Graphic novels.|2lcgft 700 1 Galán, Fran.
