The mexican edition of the first two issues of the Dark Knight Returns was the first comic-book i ever read, a mind-blowing experience who was a door to a new medium. In literature, The Metamorphosis was the first book it really impacted me in my teens, it was in the library of my therapist and before that book i was finished the first book of Harry Potter. Digimon Adventure/02 was my favourite anime in my childhood and i have fond memories of seeing characters like Joe and Sora caring for her fellow friends. BTAS was my first exposure to Batman and the Art Deco/Noir genre alongside the DK, i watch old black and white noir films and reading authors like James Cain thanks to that series. Cartoons like Daria (more relevant than ever), Courage the Cowardly Dog, Dexter's Lab, The Tick and many others hold a special place in my heart. My dad was an artist and he introduced me to the works of artists who i'm looking every day, like Magritte, Max Ernst, Pablo Picasso and so on. He was a fan of the european cinema, so i watch with him many films of Herzog like Aguirre, and other classics like The Double Life of Veronica and Tiempo de Gitanos by Emir Kusturica. One of his favourite films was Z, who i watched many years later, is a explosive movie who deserves a rewatch.
