Summary

• "¿Quién mandó matar a Luis Donaldo Colosio? Esa pregunta continúa flotando en el ambiente incluso a veinticinco años del asesinato político de mayor magnitud en la historia reciente de México, cuyas investigaciones y pesquisas fueron tan surreales como para hacer palidecer a la más descabellada novela policiaca. En Matar al candidato, Bef y Francisco Haghenbeck se han dado a la tarea de realizar su propia investigación, en formato de novela gráfica, a través del personaje de Elsa, una joven periodista que recibe el encargo de escribir un libro sobre el tema. Apoyada en elementos como los dibujos o las fábulas escritas por el asesino confeso, Mario Aburto, que fue llevado misteriosamente durante dos horas a una playa, sin presencia judicial, justo después del atentado de Lomas Taurinas, en Tijuana, la periodista se adentrará buscando respuestas hasta lo más profundo de la podredumbre laberíntica de la justicia y la política mexicanas. Al final, la única certeza que se refleja en Matar al candidato es que los ciudadanos somos meros espectadores de un perverso espectáculo teatral, donde los poderosos en turno manejan el país a su arbitrio, en ocasiones sin siquiera molestarse en ocultar sus flagrantes actos de cinismo o de despiadada corrupción."--Page [4] of cover
• "Who had Luis Donaldo Colosio killed? That question persists 25 years after the largest political assassination in recent Mexican history. A crime with an investigation so surreal it makes the wildest novel pale in comparison. In Killing the Candidate, Bef and Francisco Haghenbeck have been given the task of carrying out their own investigation, in graphic novel format, through the character of Elsa, a young journalist who is commissioned to write a book on the subject . Supported by elements such as drawings or fables written by the confessed murderer, Mario Aburto, who was mysteriously taken for two hours to a beach, without a judicial presence, just after the Lomas Taurinas attack in Tijuana, the journalist will go looking for answers to the depths of the labyrinthine rottenness of Mexican justice and politics.In the end, the only certainty that will be The effect of Killing the Candidate is that citizens are mere spectators of a perverse theatrical spectacle, where the powerful in turn run the country at their will, sometimes without even bothering to hide their blatant acts of cynicism or ruthless corruption.
