Alvar Mayor

Carlos Trillo and Enrique Breccia’s Alvar Mayor is a starkly beautiful, episodic adventure series set in a mythic, early-colonial South America, originally serialized in Argentina and later collected by Egmont Ehapa in 1992. It follows the titular wanderer through surreal, often brutal encounters that blend historical fiction with magical realism, a landmark of Latin American comics. The series is celebrated for Breccia’s haunting, expressionistic art and Trillo’s taut, folkloric storytelling, making it a essential work for fans of sophisticated, atmospheric graphic fiction.
