Kaldırımlar Kurdunun Hayatı 1

Kaldırım Destanı - Kaldırımlar Kurdunun Hayatı 1
The first book is the story of a baby who is found in the toilet by a witch.
She calls it 'bog-rat' and dedicates herself to torturing the child. She keeps him in the coal shed, when he grows a little she sends him out to beg. From his first day he has to fight and he never stops.

Masist Gül (1947-2003) with his strong physique was a Turkish actor who played obscure roles in more then 300 hundred movies.
In his private life, unknown to the outside world, he was an extraordinary artist. He produced a large amount of collages, drawings and poetry.
During the 80's he conceived and made by hand, using a periodical comic-book format, a series of 6 books with the title Kaldirim Destani - Kaldirimlar Kurdunun Hayati (Pavement Myth - The Life of the Pavement's Wolf.)
Bent 001 will be the first existing reproductions of these originals.
The story is based on Gül's own life. It is written in Turkish. As all the texts are in rhyme they cannot be translated without significant loss of meaning.
The narrative takes place between 1905 and 1978 in Adana. It is told as a flashback. The protagonist called Kaldirim Fahri/ Pavement Fahri is a tough-guy, a mirror image of Gül himself, who is telling a group of friends his life story. Whilst talking, he often pauses to fight with his best friend and adversary.
