Abstract

VILLORDO, Aníbal. La imagen intolerable: Intensidad estética y violencia en el cómic de superhéroes. Cuad. Cent. Estud. Diseñ. Comun., Ensayos [online]. 2019, n.74, pp.199-211. ISSN 1853-3523.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18682/cdc.vi74.1097.

The article addresses the theme of aesthetic intensity and violence in the superhero comic. It is analyzed how injustice finds in the use of violence a means to resolve conflicts. In this context, the spectator attends a narrative charged with a monstrous aesthetic intensity. The graphic violence that is positioned as effective to appropriate the symbol (the punishment of the bad) constitutes a pure fiction; that the reader understands that it has no consequences in the real world.

Keywords : violence; comics; superheroes.
