thanks. I love graphics from the SR period. I was amazed at the quality of some of he stuff in there. Mr Gomez from Valencia's still life is amazing at age 8. The political pieces and maps were great as well.

Anyone else ever seen the movie "The Devil's Backbone?" It takes place during the Spanish civil war and one of the characters is constantly drawing comics. There's a scene where the main character goes through his private stash and it totally reminds me of the stuff on that site.

Excellent post, plep, thanks! This is an extensive gallery, quite interesting to browse. Some of these are quite sophisticated while others are simply charming.

anastasiav :- Yay, jinx! Coincidentally I was looking at the Spanish Civil War site yesterday, saw Matt's post and thought it'd fit in well (yeah, yeah, theme day, I know...)

no, no, no. Spain and Iraq are two different countries. Excuse me? I saw this exhibit first hand. It is quite striking.
