There was a time, not long ago, when tattoos were reserved for a group made up of criminals, apaches, prisoners, legionnaires, prostitutes, anarchists, or sailors. Although it also became fashionable among European royalty or was showcased in circuses and freak shows. Its use, a secret code in the hands of outlaws, sparked fascination and interest among numerous anthropologists, criminologists, and doctors who, following the ideas of the Italian Cesare Lombroso – father of criminal anthropology – saw tattoos as a sign of atavism and a predisposition to madness, violence, and murder, and the tattooed as oddities and mysterious beings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Spain, since 1888 when Rafael Salillas, our \"little Lombroso,\" displayed his collection of tattoos from native criminals, the tattooed, who were photographed and studied, sowed terror and confusion: waves of apaches with bodies covered in obscene drawings and calls for revenge arrived in cities like Madrid, Barcelona, or Bilbao, among others, while defending the most underworld bohemia. Later, militiamen and falangists hid – or directly tore off – those revealing marks (sickles and hammers, yokes and arrows on arms and chests) that could cost them their lives, and the legionnaires – a true tattooed subculture – filled their bodies with crosses, virgins, and the names of their beloved. Also quinquis, gang members, motorcyclists, and rockers were pioneers in showing those \"talking scars,\" as police and military commanders called tattoos.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a century, tattoos were \"criminal\" and marginal, until in 1989, the photographer and tattooed Alberto García-Alix opened the doors of the tattoo shop and studio El Martillo de Lucifer, where its unstoppable popularization began with Mao, the legendary tattoo artist who in the eighties tattooed the US Navy in Rota, as one of its great stars. What came next we already know: tattoos and that surprising \"old school\" style became mainstream, elevated to the status of art, and lost the aura of danger from the past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eServando Rocha, editor of this unique work in our country, researched and rescued old medico-legal treatises, police files, and numerous photographs \"lost\" in time and practically never seen, to build a visual narrative of a century of \"beautiful angels\" and \"tattooed barbarians,\" alongside spectacular criminological collections from France, Mexico, and Germany, making CRIMINAL the great illustrated book of tattooing from that brutalist Spain, the one that proudly and defiantly displayed daggers, skulls, and bleeding hearts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Felguera Editores","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57200777199960,"sku":"9788412466935","price":26.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8464\/0856\/files\/9788412466935.jpg?v=1777403406"},{"product_id":"nosotras-que-queriamos-ser-libres-el-album-de-las-supersicalipticas-90-artefactos","title":"NOSOTRAS, QUE QUERIAMOS SER LIBRES: EL ÁLBUM DE LAS SUPERSICALÍPTICAS: 90 (ARTEFACTOS)","description":"\u003cp\u003eA spectacular case about supersicalípticas and armed, furious women, including giant fold-outs, facsimiles, and essays.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore than a century ago, while sicalipsis—the counterculture of cupletistas, \"frivolous\" artists, and defenders of the wildest feminism—spread like an epidemic, the ¡supersicalípticas! emerged, our first and boldest modern women. They appeared in 1902 through Las Mujeres en la Intimidad, an erotic magazine whose editors called them \"Supersicalíptico Portfolios.\" Two of those prodigious issues, \"Cómo se arman las mujeres\" and \"El manejo del arma,\" were tremendous and marked the beginning of a social transformation process. Gradually, women would abandon their role as the \"angel of the home,\" and those who did not turn the other cheek would be described as defeminized and, of course, crazy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the following three decades, women would show strength, wear pins in their hats and knives in their garters for self-defense, engage in Greco-Roman wrestling—feminist style!—or learn jiu jitsu to face harassers, bullies, and even police officers, like the formidable English suffragettes. Our supersicalípticas, such as Bella Chelito, undisputed queens of the night and cabarets, toured the country demonstrating against Japanese martial arts masters, scandalizing the most conservative Spanish society with their joy and freedom, preparing for the fateful year of 1936, when many of those furies created Women’s Battalions, linking the mythical image of the miliciana with the 19th-century guerrilla fighter, the streetwise and Goya-inspired dagger woman with the blue work overalls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNosotras, que queríamos ser libres, among other materials, collects in facsimile format a spectacular case with a giant fold-out over a meter long featuring the facsimile of those legendary two issues and accounts for this revolution around physical strength, aggressiveness, sports, martial arts, and weapons—all ancient matters of power, masculinity, and hegemony.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Felguera Editores","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57200777822552,"sku":"9788412932607","price":23.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8464\/0856\/files\/9788412932607.jpg?v=1777403486"},{"product_id":"suburbia-el-libro-ilustrado-del-erotismo-lo-prohibido-y-la-molicie-en-espana-80-memorias-del-subsuelo","title":"SUBURBIA: EL LIBRO ILUSTRADO DEL EROTISMO, LO PROHIBIDO Y LA MOLICIE EN ESPAÑA: 80 (MEMORIAS DEL SUBSUELO)","description":"\u003cp\u003eA spectacular illustrated journey through our darkest, pulp, and \"depraved\" worlds, from the sicalipsis of \"sex, drugs, and cuplé\" to the transition\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the incredible and fascinating story of our most underground Spain, a lover of cocaine or morphine – then called \"euphoric poisons\" – which for years were sold freely and flooded cabarets, dives, and street corners.

Hundreds of books and magazines were published, some clandestine, which became part of \"infernal libraries,\" those secret books considered indecent or outright banned from libraries, both public and private, sometimes pamphlets and poorly edited, sold for a pittance and against which anti-pornography police brigades were created. The most mysterious and, for many, infamous of those authors was Ángel Martín de Lucenay, a fake sexologist unlike any other whose skill was selling erotica, sometimes extreme and hilarious, under the guise of medical, hygienic, and sexual education. His books, full of girls injecting themselves or smoking opium, chronicles of strange cults, and a flood of real photographs from our underworlds, were exactly that: Spanish pulp. Cheap, accessible to all. Pure exploitation. In just four years (1932-1936), that absolute king of the sordidness of sex, night, and the underworld flooded the market with nearly a hundred books that included wild sex, sadomasochism, or bestiality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuburbia.
