Mayabeque, Cuba_ Cartoonists of Mayabeque are among the participants in the next International Book Fair, to be held in February 2018, with comic books, Mayabeque newspaper publishes. 

Wimar Verdecia Fuentes, known for the previous titles Juan Delgado, un relámpago a caballo and El oro de Oyá, illustrates one of the four stories in the book Habanera tú, which has the Cuban capital as the protagonist of disconcerting fantasies and realities. The book is a tribute to the half-millennium of the foundation of Havana.

María Esther Pérez Cordero recreates episodes of the text La libetas en flor, about the life of Emilia de Córdova y Rubio, patriot of San Nicolás who fought for the independence of Cuba, faced slavery and Spanish colonial rule and fought at the beginning of the 20th century for the women's rights.

The freshness and originality of the drawing of María Esther demonstrate her sensitivity for a work of enormous importance in the diffusion of our historical memory, and that at the same time, enchant children and young people.

Dick Manresa Arencibia is the revelation from two very different books: Guillermón Moncada, Gigante de Oriente, and La espada viviente.

The first is a synthesis of the little-known and surprising life of Guillermo Moncada Veranes, the young man who sold his carpenter's tools to buy a machete and rise up with the patriots of Carlos Manuel de Céspedes.

Adventure, mystery and action is La espada viviente, that deals with the robbery of Japanese art objects in a Cuban museum and exposes the history of Japanese emigrants in Cuba, as well as the somber interests of using their traditions and martial arts in a conspiracy against our Homeland.
