«Houdini. El rey de las esposas» is the graphic novel by Jason Lutes and Nick Bertozzi, published by Astiberri Ediciones in hardback (96 pages, in Spanish).
The story focuses on a key day in Harry Houdini's life: his handcuffed jump from a Boston bridge, a publicity stunt that established him as an escapologist. It reveals the secrecy of his tricks, his physical preparation, and his partnership with his wife Bess, portraying the showman who embodied the hopes of the American public.
This edition includes an introduction by Glen David Gold and derives from the original Houdini: The Handcuff King, published in 2007.
Ideal for fans of graphic novels, biographies of historical figures, and the history of illusionism.
