Spanish comics represent an exciting and diverse field, yet one that is
often overlooked outside of Spain. Spanish Comics offers an overview
on contemporary scholarship on Spanish comics, focusing on a wide range
of comics dating from the Francoist dictatorship, 1939-1975; the
Political Transition, 1970-1985; and Democratic Spain since the early
1980s including the emergence of the graphic novel in 2000. Touching on
themes of memory, gender, regional identities, and history, the chapters
in this collection demonstrate the historical and cultural significance
of Spanish comics.
