El fruto prohibido #[nn]

The cover of this Reservoir Books release sets the tone immediately — a nude figure reclines serenely while a bold yellow-and-black serpent coils around her body, the two sharing an almost conspiratorial calm. Swedish cartoonist Liv Strömquist brings her signature clean, witty linework to this Spanish-language edition, titled El fruto prohibido ("The Forbidden Fruit"), published in 2018. The Eden-adjacent imagery promises the kind of sharp, engaging exploration of mythology, desire, and human nature that makes Strömquist's work such a distinctive presence in contemporary comics.
