Ibáñez: un país en viñetas

Francisco Ibáñez (March 15, 1936 – July 15, 2023) has left a cultural legacy that has influenced different generations. His way of speaking, his characters, his unique understanding of the human condition have left their mark on readers across the country. The roguishness, the spitefulness, the petty swindlers, the incompetent professionals, the "come back tomorrow" mentality... no one captured Spanish society like Ibáñez. This tribute book seeks to highlight the references that inspired Ibáñez's works and characters, the particularities of Spanish culture, the cultural elements that shaped him... And, not only what Ibáñez drew upon to create his works and portray us as a nation, but also what Ibáñez has left in our shared collective imagination.
