Valencia in a Comic: De Mano en Mano
Written by mpowellValencia’s old city center has a starring role in a new 48-page comic by Ana Miralles and Emilio Ruiz, called De mano en mano. The story follows a €20 bill as it passes to various people throughout the city’s streets and homes.
The comic has received good reviews from the few sites I’ve looked at, and uses its central gimmick to explore the social and economic issues of the city. Valencia is the setting, and the artists recreate a lot of city highlights, such as the Plaza de la Virgen.
Currently available for order, the book costs €18 from publisher Edicions de Ponent. Or wait until it comes to the library!
