Synopsis "Ana e historias tristes (in Spanish)"

Ana vive en un mundo consumido, sin esperanza, al borde mismo del holocausto nuclear. Su existencia transcurre en el París turbulento de mediados de los 70. Soplan vientos de rebeldía,de revuelta estudiantil. En ese clima revolucionario, Ana provoca involuntariamente la muerte
de un compañero de clase. El remordimiento la arrastra a una espiral autodestructiva que desembocará en toda clase de callejones sin salida: exilio, cárcel, matrimonio y muerte. Entre 1976 y 1981, el mítico dibujante Francisco Solano López (El Eternauta, Evaristo) plasmó
en imágenes un ramillete de historias desesperadas escrito por su hijo Gabriel Solano López, a quien había salvado de los calabozos de la dictadura argentina y con quien se refugió en España para sobrellevar el exilio. Las historietas agrupadas en este volumen son fiel testimonio
de su desarraigo. Un hito en la carrera de un dibujante genial.

Francisco Solano López (Buenos Aires, 1928 – 2011) was an Argentine comic artist known for his detailed and expressive style. He began his career in 1953 with Perico y Guillermina and collaborated with writers like Héctor Germán Oesterheld on works such as El Eternauta (1957–1959), Ernie Pike (1957–1959), and Rolo, the Adoptive Martian (1957–1958). During his exile in Spain and Brazil in the 70s and 80s, he continued his artistic production, including the series Ana and Sad Stories. Upon returning to Argentina, he resumed El Eternauta with new issues like The Repentant World (1997) and The Return (2001–2010), in collaboration with Pablo Maiztegui

His most emblematic work, El Eternauta, is considered one of the most influential comics in Spanish-language graphic literature. The 2015 US edition received three nominations at the Eisner Awards and won in the category of Best Archival Collection/Project—Strips. In 2008, he was declared an Outstanding Personality of Culture by the Legislature of the City of Buenos Aires. His legacy endures as a reference in Argentine and Latin American comics.
