About the Author
Copi, the enigmatic Argentine-born author and illustrator, carved a distinctive niche in underground literature with his incisive wit and unflinching portrayals of urban decay and queer identity. Born in Buenos Aires in 1939, he fled political turmoil to settle in Paris, where he immersed himself in the vibrant bohemian scene, collaborating with luminaries like Roland Topor and contributing to the avant-garde magazine Hara-Kiri. His works blend sharp satire, eroticism, and social commentary, often drawing from his experiences in the theater and cabaret worlds. Copi's legacy endures through his graphic novels and plays, which challenge societal norms with bold, irreverent storytelling, influencing generations of artists and writers in the realms of comics and experimental fiction.
