Comic
The Fanhunter comics tells the story about the fight against Alejo and the remaining heroes.
Fanhunter is a bizarre saga.
It started as a self-edited fanzine, and his creator-artist-writer Cels Piñol, personally distribute it himself among the comic book shops.
As time goes by, its popularity rises, and then becomes a nationwide phenomenon, and nowadays it went outside the Spanish frontiers attracting the interest of the Southamerican readers.
Graphically limited (simple, but effective artwork), Cels Piñol attracted the attention of thousands of readers who are identified with his comics, games, characters and concepts.
The humoristic world of the future that Fanhunter reflects, where everything related with comic books, Internet, videogames, role-playing games and other expressions of leisure are forbidden, is a subtle and intelligent reflexion about the dangers of totalitarian regimes, intolerance an fundamentalism.
In the world created by Cels, the true heroes are those comic readers, disk-jockeys, web surfers, role-players, Movie fans, videogame players, and TV lovers with their sub-cultural knowledge treasured during years make them fight against the forces of evil.
They are the last line of defense.
