Spanish comics have attracted considerable critical attention
internationally: dissertations have been written, monographs have
been published, and an array of cultural institutions in Spain (the
media, publishing houses, bookstores, museums, and archives) have
increasingly promoted the pleasures, pertinence, and power of
graphic narrative to an ever-expanding readership - all in an area
of cultural production that was held, until recently, to be the
stuff of child's play, the unenlightened, or the unsophisticated.
This volume takes up the charge of examining how contemporary
comics in Spain have confronted questions of cultural legitimacy
through serious and timely engagement with diverse themes, forms,
and approaches - a collective undertaking that, while keenly in
step with transnational theoretical trends, foregrounds local,
regional, and national dimensions particular to the late twentieth-
and early twenty-first-century Spanish milieu. From memory and
history to the economic and the political, and from the body and
personal space to mental geography, the essays collected in
Consequential Art account for several key ways in which a range of
comics practitioners have deployed the image-text connection and
alternative methods of seeing to interrogate some of the most
significant cultural issues in Spain.
