Don Quijote

Don Quijote, published by Semic from 1983 onward, reimagines Cervantes’ classic hero as a modern-day Spanish superhero, blending literary homage with the adventure-comics style of its era. The series ran for eight issues, with its most distinctive work often associated with artist and co-writer Juan José Martín, whose dynamic art gave the delusional knight and his loyal squire Sancho a vibrant, action-packed life. This quirky, short-lived series stands out for its audacious attempt to transplant a timeless character into the world of capes and crusades, offering a unique fusion of high culture and pulp storytelling.
