Conquistas

In Conquistas (2020–2022), the Spanish publisher Yermo Ediciones presented a four-issue miniseries that reimagines the historical conquest of the Americas through a speculative, darkly fantastical lens. Blending alternate history with horror and adventure, the series challenges traditional narratives by introducing supernatural elements—such as ancient gods and cursed artifacts—that reshape the clash between European colonizers and indigenous civilizations. While the creative team is not specified in the available facts, the series stands out for its bold, revisionist approach and its willingness to explore the brutal complexities of conquest through genre fiction. It matters as a thoughtful, unsettling contribution to the growing tradition of comics that deconstruct historical mythologies.
