Contrapaso

A taut, two-issue Spanish noir from Norma Editorial, Contrapaso (2021–present) unfolds a stylishly grim crime saga steeped in the shadows of post-war Barcelona. The series is defined by the atmospheric, chiaroscuro-heavy artwork of Leopoldo Sánchez, whose moody visuals anchor the narrative. It matters as a modern European crime comic that distills classic hardboiled tropes into a tight, visually arresting package.
