Antonio Altarriba’s first years as a comic creator are essential to understand some of the best narrative and aesthetic findings of Spanish contemporary comics. Altarriba’s production between 1977 and 1991, in collaboration with many different graphic artists, reflects some of the aesthetic obsessions and references of art history in the early work of the author. During this period, he will build a very fertile, creative and suggestive imaginary. This research traces Altarriba’s influences and expands the study of his little-known earliest work. In doing so, it points out some of his authorial marks, which have established Altarriba as one of the most outstanding authors of Spanish contemporary graphic narration.
