Abstract

This essay elaborates on the work of Spanish women artists born in the
nineteen thirties and what it meant to blaze a trail in the field during an era
dominated by deeply-rooted machista values. It offers an analysis of selected
comics by Isabel Bas Amat (b. 1931), creator of the series Ana-Emilia y su
familia. It also broaches the work of other women authors such as María
Pascual (1933-2011), master of romantic comedies since the mid-fifties and
throughout the seventies, and Carmen Barbará (b. 1933), known for drawing
the main character of the reporter series, Mary “noticias.” It closes with a
reflection on the work of Purita Campos (b. 1937), known for the character of
Esther.
