Its scope reached beyond the biennial itself in that it aimed to set up an archive and a documentary base on comics at the Instituto di Tella. The entire exhibition was designed and carried out by Masotta together with the filmmaker David Lipszyk. It displayed reproductions in aluminum frames on screens disposed according to a plan devised by the architects Rodolfo Möller, Antonio Gaché and Augusto Brengio.

Beautiful black and white illustrations by Alcatena chronicle an episode in the adventures of Bask Deavregaut, whose escape from a pecadillo is thwarted by his encounter with the enormous wheeled Fortress.
