II avait lâché le journal, qui s`était d`abord déployé sur ses genoux puis qui avait glissé lentement avant d`atterrir sur le parquet ciré. On aurait cru qu`il venait de s`endormir si, de temps en temps, une mince fente ne s`était dessinée entre ses paupières. Est-ce que sa femme était dupe? Elle tricotait, dans son fauteuil bas, de l`autre côté du foyer. Elle n`avait jamais l`air de l`observer, mais il savait depuis longtemps que rien ne lui échappait, pas même le tressaillement à peine perceptible d`un de ses muscles.

Since his death in 1967, Ernesto Che Guevara has become a universally known revolutionary icon and political figure whose image is among the most recognizable in the world. This dramatic and extensively researched book breathes new life into his story, portraying his struggle through the medium of the underground political comic - one of the most prominent countercultural art forms since the 1960s. Spain Rodriguez`s powerful artwork illuminates Che`s life and the experiences that shaped him, from his motorcycle journey through Latin America, his rise to prominence as a leader in Fidel Castro`s revolutionary movement, his travels in Africa, his involvement in the insurgency that led to his death in Bolivia, and his extraordinary legacy.

The image may be stenciled on a wall, integrated into graffiti, reproduced on a mug or hat, or most likely screen-printed on a T-shirt and worn by anyone aged from eight to eighty. The fact is that in our global culture, with its proliferation of images beamed at us from televisions and mobile phones, this single image of a face may be the most reproduced image in the history of photography. It has been endlessly mutated,...
