La Piscina Comics interviews Victoria Bermejo, author of the book "Conocerlo es amarlo" (Editorial Efe Eme), a compilation of interviews she conducted with leading comic book artists from the legendary magazine CAIRO: Montesol, Mique Beltrán, Pere Joan, Daniel Torres, Guillem Cifré, Tha, Sento, Micharmut, Gallardo, Ramón de España, Roger, Coll, and Ignacio Vidal-Folch.
Cairo, launched in 1981 during the so-called comic book boom, championed modernity, the clear line style, and Franco-Belgian influence, offering an alternative to the dominant genres of sword and sorcery, fantasy, erotica, and superheroes. In "Conocerlo es amarlo," Bermejo interviewed the magazine's artists and writers monthly, treating them as established artists even though they were still developing. These interviews now constitute a unique testament to the thoughts and concerns of a generation of young authors who would later become key figures in Spanish comics. We recall the controversies—such as the debate between the "chunga" (shady) and "línea clara" (clear) lines, or the scandal surrounding the Tintin exhibition at the Miró Foundation—and the origins of Cairo, a magazine launched by Joan Navarro with the collaboration of Ignacio Vidal-Folch, Ramón de España, and Victoria Bermejo, under the Norma publishing house, directed by Rafael Martínez.
Produced and created by Andres Sanz.
Thanks to Victoria Bermejo for her generosity and support.

Recuerdo relacionaba Cairo con las peliculas y los amigos de mr Cairo; me gustaba leer la revista escuchando Duran Duran, Sade, Thomas Dolby (remake, remodel), era otro mundo y tan cercano.
Comentario aparte, no sabia sobre el fallecimiento de Josep Coll, me apretó el corazon, una problematica muy fuerte para quienes se dedican o se han dedicado al 9eno arte.
Muchas gracias
Joan Navarro, compartí charlas en el Salón, sin ser yo nadie, solo un librero del Mercat de Sant Antoni. Pero a Joan no le importaba quien eras, solo que yo amaba los tebeos como él. Pobre Joan, la vida es muchas veces injusta.
Y Coll, otra de mis pasiones. Reconocimiento tardío pero no entre los lectores del TBO. ¡Que no pudiera vivir de ser autor de cómics y muriera por ello! Cada libro que se edita de Coll es una estrella más en mi biblioteca, junto a sus monográficos del TBO y unos pocos OLÉ! tardíos.
