Contrary to all the other publishing sectors over the past two decades, the Spanish comics and graphic novels of the post Franco years have never demonstrated much interest in dealing with the Civil War which tore Spain apart between 1936 and 1939. Also surprising, the representations they offer radically contrast with the classic conventional forms of the adventure comics exalting war hero figures. Despite their differences, the works studied in the article, Carlos Giménez’s and Antonio Hernández Palacios’s four-volume opuses, depict but one thing, the pity of the war. |
