RT Journal Article T1 Comics and the Graphic Novel in Spain and Iberian Galicia A1 Gil González, Antonio Jesús AB In his article, "Comics and the Graphic Novel in Spain and Iberian Galicia," Antonio J. GilGonzález develops a comparative and interart analysis of graphic novels by examining the evolution ofthe genre on the Spanish peninsula in general and in Galicia in particular. Gil González builds hisanalysis on Roman Ingarden's concept of literature as not only traditional fiction, but also theater andcinema. Gil González presents his argumentation by identifying the peculiarities of the comic as amedium, starting with its historical beginnings, and discussing its principal formats and generic andthematic variants. Further, he discusses the principal semiological and narratological variables incomicographic language using the arguments of Román Gubern. Gil González's discussion is based onthe importation of the genre from Anglophone North America and from Europe (i.e., France, Germany,Belgium, etc.).
