THE MOUNTAINS OF THE COMIC
As a first-rate artistic and narrative expression, comics are currently considered the 9th art. Many cartoonists and screenwriters have created, from strips, pages, magazines or books, a universe around characters, often heroes. Unlike cinema, in comics you can't talk about a mountain genre, but many authors have set the adventures of their characters there.
The exhibition is a small sample of how the mountains have participated in comics through 80 years of adventure, fantastic, historical, detective or western comics, aimed at all audiences.
