Umbral

Umbral is a Spanish comic series launched in 1980 by Ediciones Maisal, S. A., running for six issues. The series is best remembered as a showcase for the distinctive, moody artwork of its primary artist, whose shadow-drenched style defined the look of early-80s Spanish horror-fantasy comics. While details of its plot are scarce, it stands as a cult artifact of the post-Franco Spanish comics boom, representing a brief but influential foray into genre storytelling by a publisher better known for other titles. Its limited run and evocative covers have made it a touchstone for collectors of European horror comics.
