Manuel Montano

First published in 1989 by Cappelen, Manuel Montano is a Spanish comic series that follows its titular character through a series of enigmatic, atmospheric adventures. Written by Fernando Luna and Niels Fredrik Dahl, with hauntingly detailed art by Miguel-Angel Prado, the series stands out for its moody, cinematic storytelling and its blend of the surreal with the everyday. Though brief—spanning just one issue—it remains a notable cult work for its distinctive European comic sensibility and its ability to create a rich, mysterious world in a single volume.
