is much talk últimanente about the disappearance of the book as we know, others are unable to imagine life without turning pages and enjoy the aroma of a text "brand new". Just love the plunge and go with the feelings, and a deep knowledge of the subject, made Joan Antoni Mascaro, Fani Manresa y Gabriela Miciulevicius create their own publishing house to enjoy what they really like: the COMISCA.
feel the rustle of leaves, fill you with words, images and especially with the heartbreaking story is a luxury to reach all who attend Festivalet . APAAP
is the name of your editorial. What is your philosophy? APAAP
is a small comic book publisher in Barcelona. We have been working more or less about two years during which we have published a dozen titles. The idea from the beginning has been to give unpublished authors known in Spain in our country but is widely recognized in the middle and junior researchers. At first we focus on authors of the "underground" U.S.: James Kochalka, John Porcellino, Dash Shaw. Little by little, we also incorporate some national authors as Philip Almond and Sergi Puyol.
"You work from Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwhere very soon you will exhibit at the Festivalet . What is the city that designers, editors, writers, creative are there, is it a source of inspiration?
is true that Barcelona is a major hub in terms of cultural and creative production. In our case, the truth is that it is a coincidence.
- Why did you decide to dedicate to the world of comics?
decided to enter the world of comics because it's something that appeals to us as readers. Two of the people that make up the editorial work in a bookstore and the fact of having a lot of material import, unprecedented in Castilian was the impetus for us to launch the project. The truth is that was a somewhat "kamikaze." Did not really know what we were facing, but we went and we also learn on the fly.

much internet. Evaluated among the three materials we received and based on our tastes, we decided. As we explained you before, the bulk of the catalog consists of authors of the American underground (Kochakla, Porcellino, Zac Sally, Sammy Harkham) and novice (Dash Shaw, Liz Prince). A few months ago we launched a mini collection (Clip-Clip) that is intended to make known authors here. At the moment we only have two: Elisa Smile and Sergi Puyol. And recently, we published a comic Felipe Almendros, who is an author here in Barcelona.
- What you want to become APAAP What are your goals?
The truth is that after two years we are very pleased with the reception given to Apa-Apa in publishing. To some extent the effort to do so that everything goes ahead is enormous, as we all we have another job which is what feeds us and do the editorial work in our spare time. We were treated very well from the beginning, both readers and the press, have encouraged us to follow. Perhaps this recognition "verbal" is not reflected on the numbers, but we hope that eventually we can build the project and, perhaps, to devote to it fulltime.
-Finally, what advice would you give to those people interested in leading cultira in the publishing world that moves between the abyss of paper or digital.
Advice? Well, it is difficult to give advice in that regard. Personally, we're pretty fetish in that the book is about and especially if it's a comic. I can not imagine, for example, a book by Chris Ware in digital. But surely, in the future, one thing and another co-exist.
Thank you, here's a reader more!
