Prisoner 155: Simón Radowitzky

By Agustín Comotto

A beautifully illustrated graphic novel depicting the life of Simon Radowitzky (1891-1956), a gentle soul caught up in a cruel world. His tumultuous life begins with his immigration from Ukraine to Argentina, followed by his assassination of Colonel Falcon (who presided over the slaughter of 100 workers) in 1909. Banished to a penal colony, he escaped, was recaptured and tortured, serving a total of twenty years. Upon release he joined the Spanish Revolution, after which he decamped for Mexico, where he died in 1956 while employed at a toy factory.
