Four Poets at War

A universally resonant comic that depicts the indomitable human spirit during times of turmoil, through the lives of the most legendary poets in European literature

In these emotive pages, Quique Palomo adapts Ian Gibson’s profound exploration of four legendary poets of our time: Federico García Lorca, Antonio Machado, Miguel Hernández, and Juan Ramón Jiménez.

This is the poignant and stirring portrayal of these iconic poets’ lives during the turbulent period of the Spanish Civil War. It is a harrowing study of their unwavering loyalty to the Republican cause that highlights the tragic fates of these exceptional voices of 20th-century —exiled to die abroad, executed without trial, or left to languish in prison. Through a blend of historical precision and breathtaking visual storytelling, Quique Palomo captures the
struggles, boundless creativity, and indomitable spirit of these poets to offer a gripping and insightful journey into the heart of a time when culture itself was besieged by fanaticism.
