Zapata

In the mid-1970s, French publisher Éditions Elisa Presse released Zapata, a short-lived three-issue comic series that took its title and inspiration from the iconic Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata. Though the run was brief, the series stands as a notable artifact of its era, reflecting the period's interest in countercultural and revolutionary figures within European comics. The creative talent behind Zapata remains closely associated with its distinctive, politically charged storytelling and visual style. Today, it is remembered as a concise but passionate entry in the landscape of 1970s French bande dessinée.
