Comictheque

Comics, cartoons or manga refer to the same thing, sequential art, as Will Eisner would call it. A literary and artistic style, through drawings and words or not, that tells us a story. A form of expression of popular culture that, on many occasions, has served as gateway to the vast and rich world of literature..

Alcobendas Mediatheques do not ignore this phenomenon and want to make available to the public a collection that contains a good sample of styles, trends and contents of the gender.

There some authors that due to their geographical origin are not part of any of these groups. These authors were classified according to their usual place of
publication. This applies, for example, Strapi Marjane, Iranian author who usually deals with social issues and so does not enter into any of the groups described
above. As the country where he has been published and has been released is France he would enter the European Comic category.
