Virus Tropical

Based on the real-life experiences of artist Paola Gaviria (Powerpaola), Virus Tropical is a raw, autobiographical graphic novel published by El Fakir Editores and Pinipedia. Launched in 2015, this single-issue work captures the artist's distinctive, unfiltered visual style as it explores her unconventional upbringing in a Colombian family of strong women. It stands as a celebrated landmark in Latin American autobiographical comics, offering a deeply personal and culturally specific coming-of-age story.
