Claro de Luna #142
In "La canción de Marisol," a quiet moment at the Barcelona docks sets a poignant tone as young Marco is drawn to the distant gaze of a silent girl named Marisol. Written by Silvia Duarte and illustrated with tender precision by Carmen Barbará—both inks and pencils—this 1962 story unfolds with gentle melancholy, exploring connection and sorrow through a bond that begins in silence. The cover, also by Carmen Barbará, captures the quiet intensity of that first glance.

When the Italian sailors take their first leave in Barcelona, Marco is haunted at the dock by the eyes of a girl looking out to sea. Later he discovers Marisol is mute, but she wants to be friends. When Marisol's mother gets to be alone with Marco for a moment, she begs him to leave her before he causes her more pain. She tells him how she had fallen in love with an American sailor who had seduced her, then got tired of her. When Marisol was later hit by a car, she wasn't seriously injured but she could not longer speak.
