Divenne una figura cardine durante il 'boom del fumetto' degli anni '80, co-fondò la rivista Rambla e pubblicò lavori come 'La muralla' e 'En un lugar de la mente.' Oltre ai suoi fumetti, le sue incursioni artistiche spaziano negli storyboard cinematografici, nei romanzi di fantascienza e nel design digitale, consolidando la sua fama mondiale come uno degli autori più importanti della sua generazione.

In the late 1930s when Spanish fascists led by Francisco Franco, and aided by Hitler and Mussolini, overthrew the democratically elected government, almost 200000 men and women fell in battle, were executed, or died in prison. Their orphaned children —and others ripped from the homes of the defeated— were shuttled from State and Church-run "Home" to "Home" and fed a steady diet of torture and disinformation by a totalitarian state bent on making them "productive" citizens. Carlos Giménez was one of those children. In 1975, after Franco's death, Carlos began to tell his story. Breaking the code of silence proved to be a milestone, both for the comics medium and for a country coming to terms with its past. Eurocomics is proud to present this log-awaited English translation of a comics masterpiece. Placing the comics in historical perspective are illustrated essays by Carmen Moreno-Nuño, Associate Professor of Hispanic Studies ant the University of Kentucky, and Antonio Martin, the foremost historian of Spanish comics.
