We're All Just Fine (2023)

Ana Penyas's debut is a portrait of her two grandmothers, chosen because their lives stand for those of most Spanish women who grew up and grew old under Franco. Penyas storyboards by hand, then builds pages from photographs and drawing, so kitchens, televisions and family snapshots feel physically present. It won Spain's National Comic Award in 2018, and the 2023 Fantagraphics translation runs a little over a hundred pages. It offers little context until a historical essay at the end, so readers new to Spanish history may want to read that afterword first.
