Based on famous Spanish Cartoonists work and real events. This comic tells the story of five Cartoonists who, tired of being exploited by the publishers they worked for (and the censorship by the Franco regime), decided to go their own way starting their own comic magazine.
I cannot express with words how much I enjoyed this comic. The story is so well told. The dialogues and the beautiful artwork so gripping and emotional at points. I read this in one long sitting. Not that the book is long, it's only 120 pages long, but I had to stop in every panel to look and admire the characters' faces and gestures. This not only shows a snapshot of Spanish post-war history but most importantly transmits the passion and love for art and comics.
