Conquistadores

Set in a near-future dystopia, Conquistadores reimagines the arrival of Spanish conquistadors in the Americas as a brutal, sci-fi allegory of colonization and exploitation. Published by Comicothek in the early 1990s, this two-issue series is a powerful, visually striking collaboration between Argentine writer Ricardo Barreiro and artist Enrique Breccia, whose expressionistic style amplifies the story’s grim themes. A dark, unsentimental work, it stands as a notable example of mature, politically charged European-style comics from that era.
