The Rats

A grim, post-apocalyptic horror series from Spanish publisher Gredown, The Rats was created by writer Víctor Mora and artist Carlos Giménez. This single 1978 issue depicts a world overrun by swarms of mutant rats, offering a stark and unsettling vision of societal collapse. The collaboration between Mora and Giménez, both celebrated figures in Spanish comics, gives the story a tense, atmospheric dread that lingers long after the final page. It stands as a potent, if brief, example of the dark, socially-conscious genre comics emerging from Spain in the late 1970s.
