Hi,
A few weeks ago you may remember that I shared with you a couple of murals dedicated to superheroes and superheroines located in Torrejón de Ardoz.
The first of the murals was dedicated to DC comics superheroes with Batman, Supergirl, Catwoman and Wonderwoman as main characters.
On that occasion the character that attracted me the most was Superwoman because of the perfect execution of the graffiti artists.
The second of the murals a few metres away was a mural dedicated to Marvel superheroes with Captain America, Hulk, Thor and Ironman.
On that occasion I was hesitating between Hulk and Ironman as the photograph to be selected for the competition. And I still don't know why I didn't select Ironman. I think I like the green monster too much as I did the black widow.
This week I went back to visit my relatives in Torrejón and a few metres from their house, in Segovia street, I came across another two comic book characters. This time it is a superhero like Wolverine and a villain like Magneto.
Well, this time the character I choose as a photograph for the urban art contest is the villain and the reason is that here the graffiti artist has managed to make me see the actor Ian Murray McKellen behind Magneto's mask and that shows a very high level from an artistic point of view and even more so by doing the graffiti entirely with spray paint.
However, I have not been able to locate a clear signature to identify the author and my ability to read the lettering on much of the graffiti is not yet mastered as a relatively novice street art fan.
On the other hand, the character Wolverine is also very well executed and you can see how he looks defiantly at Magneto and you can smell the tension between them.
I hope you like this contribution and I hope to bring you new comic characters soon, as I have been told that in Torrejón de Ardoz there is a mural honoring the manga drawings of the 80's and 90's of Dragon Ball of which I was and am a big fan.
