El Cid

Antonio Hernández Palacios brings his distinctive, historically grounded art to this three-issue German series from Carlsen Comics, which adapts the legend of the 11th-century Spanish knight El Cid. Co-written by Wiebke Besson and Harald Sachse alongside Palacios, the comic offers a visually rich, European take on medieval epic, standing out for its detailed period artwork. Though brief, the series matters as a showcase of Palacios’s celebrated graphic storytelling, bridging Spanish and German comics traditions in the early 1980s.
