Uncle Gorio, originally published on 18 November 1901 in El Adelanto, is one of the few stories written by the poet José María Gabriel y Galán.
Juan Luis Iglesias and C. de Cruz, scriptwriter and cartoonist, both from Extremadura, adapt this work representative of Galán's universe to the language of comics with an original approach. Gabriel y Galán becomes the narrator and protagonist of his story by interacting with his own characters, Uncle Gorio and Aunt Pulía, a couple united by love and convenience. An entertaining comic strip that takes place during a literary gathering between Emilia Pardo Bazán, Benito Pérez Galdós and Gabriel y Galán, where we are shown the vision the poet had of his countrymen, between criticism and affection, while the writers reflect on literary art and recall intimate anecdotes.
A tribute to José María Gabriel y Galán, the poet of the Castilian and Extremaduran soul, on the 150th anniversary of his birth.
