SACHS & VIOLENS TPB (Dec 2006) DC Comics

While I'm not a fan of all of Peter David's work, I am a huge fan of artist George Perez. And I've enjoyed Sachs' and Violens' appearances in Fallen Angel.

This trade paperback collects the original miniseries from 1993, where writer Peter David uses these characters to examine the differences between sex and violence, which are so often grouped together, while being nothing alike.

That said, the story itself isn't high art. It's exploitative. It features a softcore "adult" model (Sachs) and photographer (Violens) in an adventure taking them through the seedy world of snuff movies, and beyond. It's a fun read, albeit nothing groundbreaking. Just fun.

SACHS AND VIOLENS (Spain) (Nov 1994) SACHS & VIOLENS TPB (Dec 2006) DC Comics

El mercado de los cómics hace que, en ocasiones, algunos cómics antiguos sean difíciles de encontrar. Esto provoca que los lectores tengan que buscarlos o que, por otra parte, esperen que la editorial los publique de nuevo. Este es el caso de Sachs & Violens, miniserie que será recopilada por DC Comics en un solo volumen.

Esta miniserie propiedad de sus autores, que en su día fue publicada por Epic Comics en los EEUU y en 1994 Planeta DeAgostini Cómics hizo lo propio en nuestro país, cuenta la historia de Juanita Jean Sachs y Ernie Violens, una modelo de revistas para adultos y su fotógrafo, respectivamente. Detrás de este disparatado e interesante relato hay dos grandes autores, el primero de ellos es Peter David, conocidísimo guionista de series tan importantes como Supergirl, Aquaman o Young Justice. En los lápices tenemos al no menos conocido George Pérez, reconocidísimo por su trabajo en Nuevos Titanes, Wonder Woman y Crisis en las Tierras Infinitas, entre muchas otras colecciones.

DC Comics, editorial a la que Pérez y David han cedido los derechos de la obra para esta nueva edición de la misma, recopilará, el próximo mes de diciembre, esta espectacular miniserie en un volumen de 128 páginas que hará las delicias tanto de los seguidores de ambos autores como de los lectores que no pudieron comprar la serie en su día.

Ah, y los que queráis una nueva edición española de Sachs & Violens. ¡Ya sabéis dónde pedirla!

(Vu: A quick translation, the publisher is taking requests from readers to publish a Spanish trade paperback of Sachs and Violens.)

(excerpt)

“The advantage here was that Peter and I own the copyrights to Sachs and Violens, and once Marvel stopped using it, it was pretty easy to get, which is how Peter was able to use them in Fallen Angel,” Perez told Newsarama when asked how the collection ended up at DC. “As a reprint collection, it bounced around from one company to another, and it seemed like it was going to be reprinted at another house, but when DC offered to reprint the original series, which kind of stunned me, the other publisher, very nicely, gave up the rights, and I think everyone kind of acknowledged that DC will probably provide a bigger presence for it.”

Perez said that he really wasn’t too involved in the details further than that, pointing to David as the prime mover. “The advantage to working on a book where you have someone as…for lack of a better term, aggressive, as Peter, is that I can let him do the work as far as the negotiations go, and I’m there to draw the book, or provide the art that’s needed.”
