L'épopée espagnole #[nn]

A handsome collected volume from Denoël Graphic, L'épopée espagnole brings together Antonio Altarriba and Kim's two celebrated graphic memoirs — L'Art de voler and L'Aile brisée — under one striking cover. The artwork sets the tone beautifully: above, a helmeted soldier stands guard behind sandbags, cigarette in hand, rendered in precise, atmospheric linework; below, a woman tends a pot in a modest kitchen while cradling an infant, the domestic and the wartime existing in quiet, poignant contrast. Published by Denoël Graphic in 2021, this handsome omnibus is an ideal entry point into an deeply human story of the Spanish experience across generations.
