Resumen de Blacksad y el fenómeno fan: cómic, videojuego y rol
- español
Originada en el 2000 por Juan Díaz Canales (guión) y Juanjo Guarnido (dibujo), la saga de cómics Blacksad se ha instituido como uno de los referentes más notorios en la narrativa gráfica negro-criminal, algo patente en los múltiples premios y galones que ha recibido, donde destacan los Eisner conseguidos en 2011, 2013 y 2015.
Por su impacto en el medio, la saga ha supuesto un fenómeno de masas, éxito mediante el cual se ha justificado su intermedialidad hacia otros medios. El presente artículo constituye un estudio monográfico sobre el personaje: desde su concepción y desarrollo en cómic, hasta su inspiración hacia medios interactivos como lo han sido Blacksad: Under the skin (2019) y Blacksad: El juego de rol (2015), donde han emergido nuevas interacciones por parte de los seguidores de la obra.

The series starring the private investigator John Blacksad constitutes one of the greatest milestones regarding the contemporary graphic novel. Thanks to the adventures of this anthropomorphic cat, interest in hard-boiled narrative born from pulp stories and film noir has been recovered, elements adapted to the zoomorphic universe where their cases take place. The success of the saga created by Díaz Canales and Guarnido is evident in the international recognition of Blacksad, recognized by critics and the public.
On the latter, we want to delve into the reading and reception of the work, which has been adapted to other interactive formats, where readers have been able to participate in the issues present in the cases to be investigated. The transmediality of the saga is made up of two different formats, since apart from the originals, we have Blacksad: Under the skin, a video game already treated by academics, and Blacksad: The role-playing game , a more neglected format.
During the analysis, the key aspects of all the productions will be specified, in order to study the dialogue between the original work and its readers. In this way, thanks to the work on ergodic narrative and game studies, we will delimit the communication produced regarding the original and its adaptations, all thanks to what is referred to as the “fan phenomenon”.
