Virus tropical

Virus tropical is a graphic memoir by Colombian-Ecuadorian cartoonist Powerpaola, published in 2013 by Editorial Catalonia and La Editorial Común. This single-issue comic traces the artist's coming-of-age as the daughter of a Catholic priest and a spiritualist mother, navigating family secrets, sexuality, and identity across Colombia and Ecuador. Powerpaola's loose, expressive linework and intimate storytelling mark it as a vital work in Latin American autobiographical comics.
