About the series
In this two-issue series from 2009–2020, writer and artist Carlos Giménez revisits his acclaimed autobiographical work, originally published in Spain, depicting the harsh realities of life in a Franco-era orphanage. Published by Audie, the series distills Giménez's stark, humanistic storytelling into a concise, powerful account of childhood resilience under oppressive conditions. It stands as a poignant, later addition to his long-running "Paracuellos" saga, offering a concentrated dose of the raw, semi-autobiographical vignettes that have made the series a landmark in Spanish comics.
