Barcelona #1

The opening volume of this Dutch-language graphic novel series from Dupuis drops readers right into the heart of football's most celebrated academy, La Masia — FC Barcelona's legendary school of dreams. The cover, by creators Torrents and Dalmases, shows a young Barça player in the iconic blue-and-red blaugrana kit surging forward with the ball, flanked by two white-and-red-striped opponents in a sun-drenched stadium packed with fans. It's a vivid, energetic snapshot of the beautiful game told through the lens of one of football's most storied youth programmes.
