Cuando huyó el siete colores. una narrativa gráfica sobre el bien que hace a Colombia las leyendas del mal

Abstract

This paper presents the creation of a book-album about Efrain González, an emblematic character of outlawry during the age of violence in Colombia. This graphic narrative seeks to document and reflect on the country's historic memory by the means of graphic narrative theory from authors such as Eisner. This piece of work used a qualitative methodology which includes collection of testimony and analysis of previous literary works about the topic. The results suggest that the joint work of image and text in the book-album facilitates a critical understanding of history. In conclusion, this work enriches collective memory and offers a new perspective on a past long forgotten, in such, promoting visual and literary literacy.
