Using panels from the aforementioned comic book issue, as well as other visuals, the book follows its narrator, Cortázar, who is leaving the Second Russell Tribunal on human rights abuses in Latin America when he discovers that he is a character in the issue itself. As Cortázar continues reading, the line between fiction and reality is blurred, and the effectiveness of both the Second Russell Tribunal and Fantomas's efforts to stop a global conspiracy of disappearing books is called into question.[1]
