Le Cid

Antonio Hernández Palacios brings the legendary 11th-century Spanish knight El Cid to life in this single-issue graphic novel from Les Humanoïdes Associés, launched in 1980. A sweeping, historically grounded epic, it showcases Palacios’s masterful black-and-white artwork and storytelling as both writer and artist. Though brief, this standalone work stands as a passionate, visually striking tribute to a national hero, capturing the raw drama of medieval Spain.
