review:
'Frank - The Story of a Forgotten Dictatorship' with words and art by Ximo Abadia is an interesting take on telling the story of famous dictator Franco.
Told in a simple and symbolic way, this is the story of a small man who liked a certain shape. When other shapes start appearing, he does what he can to get rid of them. He gets help from other dictators. He elects a king. The world turned a blind eye.
It's a pretty simplistic way to tell history, but it has a certain elegance and power. The use of colors and shapes makes you think of one type of story, but the subtext says it all.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Europe Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
