Ilustración + Comix Internacional #22
"Ronda nocturna" is a striking, dreamlike sequence in Ilustración + Comix Internacional #22 (1982), a 175 ESP comic that unfolds in five vertical panels. Written, drawn, and inked by Barbe, the story explores transformation through surreal imagery—fusing smoke, shadow, and water in a series of fluid, evocative moments. The cover, a striking illustration by Howard Pyle, captures the same enigmatic, nocturnal mood.
In this striking five-panel fantasy piece from *Ilustración + Comix Internacional #22* (1982), a woman’s transformation unfolds in a series of surreal, dreamlike sequences: from the slow unfastening of her clothing, to her image dissolving into smoke, then re-forming as a mannequin, and finally being enveloped by water she carries herself. The story’s quiet, meditative rhythm and shifting states of being create a haunting exploration of identity and form, rendered with a stark, elegant precision.
