Ocultos

by Laura Pérez

I saw this artist’s drawings for Espanto at Centre Cultural La Nau, Valencia last November and fell in love with her illustrations. So when I saw this book — for which the author won the first ever award El Ojo Crítico in the category “comic” — in the library, I simply had to borrow it.

There are several apparently unrelated “stories”, if one can call them so. The common thread is not as much as presence of something hidden or unknown but rather different sensations, emotions, dreams and experiences related to that unknown. I liked Atávico the best: it reminded me of both Contact and Spirited Away.
