Mini zine exploring Carnival traditions and Galician mythology. A personal project and precursor to a graphic novel I am currently developing. Digital Illustration. 2025.
This short sequential comic draws on elements from my childhood and the cultural landscape I grew up surrounded by, particularly the Carnival traditions of Galicia, Spain. Figures such as the Cigarróns, Peiqueiros and Boteiros—traditional characters and powerful symbols of the Entroido—emerge from a vast mouth representing the “Can do Urco,” a monstrous creature from Galician mythology.The Can do Urco takes the form of an enormous black dog dragging chains as it rises from the sea. In this story, it becomes a threshold between two worlds: the earthly and the magical. Through this imagery, the comic explores childhood memories, local traditions and the mythological imagination that inhabits the landscape of Galicia.
