Paracuellos #1

This first integral volume collects the early chapters of Carlos Giménez's landmark autobiographical series, Paracuellos, originally serialized in the Spanish comic magazine El Papus. The stories offer a stark, semi-autobiographical look at life in Francoist Spain's state-run orphanages during the 1950s, focusing on the harsh realities, small joys, and resilient bonds among the children. Giménez's unflinching, humanistic approach makes this a foundational work in Spanish comics history, now compiled in a comprehensive French-language edition from Audie.
