Insecto #[nn]
This collection brings together the complete run of the 2016 Spanish series Insecto, published by Norma Editorial.

The volume is written and illustrated by the creator, offering a gritty, psychological take on the superhero genre with a distinct European sensibility.
"Insecto" by Maria Llovet unfolds with a dreamlike rhythm, its prologue and epilogue chapters echoing the melancholic sway of "California Dreamin'" by The Mamas & the Papas, shaping the story’s mood through vivid, evocative visuals. The entire narrative, from script to ink, is a singular vision by Maria Llovet, whose distinctive art style brings the tale’s atmospheric tone to life.
