A comic from Spain that's aimed at a wide audience

Diari ARA wrote about a biographical comic developed by a Spanish writer and Argentinian illustrator that's meant to be for everybody:

The Comanegra publishing house publishes Gaudí, the Sagrada Familia and ecstasy, a hybrid format between comic and illustrated book signed by the Madrid-based screenwriter Salva Rubio and the Argentinian illustrator Agustín Comotto that arrives simultaneously in Catalan, Spanish and English: a historic milestone for the Barcelona-based publisher, which had never before published simultaneously in three languages.

The project stems from Comanegra's fruitful relationship with Comotto—they had previously collaborated on a comic about Joan Salvat-Papasseit—and from a recommendation by illustrator Oriol Malet, who suggested Salva Rubio as the "ideal person" for the book. Rubio already had a fully developed comic book project about Gaudí in advanced stages, even with a script, but he agreed to adapt it into this hybrid format to reach a wider audience. "It's not meant to be a book that sits on the comic book shelves; it's a book for everyone," explains editor Jordi Puig. "We wanted to broaden audiences, to create an introduction to Gaudí's life and work that would be relevant for both visitors and Catalans," Puig adds.

I'm sure when some European creators tell you they'd like to find a wider audience to market their comics to, they're a lot more serious than some leftist USA creators have proven to be in the past decade. Good luck to the duo creating this biographical Spanish comic in finding said audience, which in Europe is bound to be a lot easier in its own way than in the USA.
