About Fibulas & Vignettes: The Visigothic world in the comic
Abstract
This work, aware of the increasing importance that comics and graphic novels have acquired as a representation of the Middle Age in mass culture, proposes a tour of the Visigothic Kingdom through sequential art. Real historical references, such as king Alaric or the battle of the Catalaunian Fields (451), are blended in the visual imaginary of thousand of readers with fictional characters emerged from the imagination of screenwriters and illustrators, from the classic Prince Valiant (Harold Foster, 1937) to such modern examples as the graphic novel Goth: Young lovers at war (Paul Allor y Seth Adams, 2019).
