Spanish comics represent an exciting and diverse field, yet one that is often overlooked by scholars outside of Spain. Spanish Comics offers an overview on contemporary scholarship on Spanish comics, focusing on a wide range of comics dating from early comics history in 1875-1939; the Francoist dictatorship, 1939-1975; the Political Transition, 1970-1985; and Democratic Spain from the early 1980s. Touching on themes of memory, gender, regional identities, and history, the chapters in this collection demonstrate the historical and cultural significance of Spanish comics, particularly as it relates to transnational and memory studies.
Anne Magnussen is an associate professor at the Institute of History and Civilization, University of Southern Denmark, and co-editor of the journal European Comic Art.
