"El policía bueno" introduces a sharp, darkly comic take on authority and absurdity in a 1995 Argentine comic from El Imperio Editorial. Written and illustrated by Esteban Podetti, with inks by Pablo Sapia and letters by Podetti himself, the story follows El Mugre as he’s pulled into a surreal encounter with a policeman whose idea of justice spirals into increasingly bizarre territory. The cover by Esteban Podetti perfectly captures the story’s off-kilter tone, making this a standout entry in the era’s alternative comics scene.
In "El policía bueno," El Mugre stumbles out of a wild club scene, claiming he was tricked into paying twenty pesos for a night from hell. A seemingly kind policeman stops him for drunken disorder, but his "help" quickly spirals into absurdity as he drags El Mugre through a series of increasingly surreal encounters—culminating in a visit from a furious mother whose child was spooked by El Mugre’s antics. The story unfolds with sharp satire, blending dark humor and bureaucratic madness in a way that keeps the reader guessing at every turn.
In "Una aventura de Deborah Gómez," a mad scientist sends Igor on a bizarre mission to find an attractive woman to power a world-destroying machine—only to have his plan upended when Igor returns with Deborah Gómez, hailed as “el travesti que salvó al mundo.” Tied to the device, Deborah uses her wits and an unexpected power to free herself, outsmarting the machine and saving the day in a twist of satire and subversion.
