Love in the Darkness the Story of a Modern Love (Comic Book)

By Pedro Hugo García Peláez

The comic "A Love in the Darkness" by Pedro Hugo García Peláez narrates the chance encounter between Isaan and Moyna, two young people from affluent families who grew up separated by a wall between their schools in Madrid during the 1970s and 80s. Despite having mutual friends, they never crossed paths until one summer when Moyna approaches Isaan on the street, sparking an instant connection. The story explores how, despite appearances, both long to escape the rigidity of their family lives and find freedom and authenticity in the atmosphere of the Movida Madrileña.
