Reading the foreword and afterward help with the historical information and chronozeitgeist that these shorts were inspired by since wordlessness is heavily up to interpretation:
It's essentially sociopolitical satire centering around the volatile and paranoid revolutionary climate of Argentina during the early 1980s using the legendary vampire at his goofiest. Edgar Allan Poe even guest stars!
The art is hysterical when he's using his shaky lines for levity and cringe-worthy when he's orchestrating tragedy. He has an extremely expressive hand that's one of the best at implanting emotion and viscerality.
