Elisa and Marcela Graphic Novel

When the 20th century was just in its infancy, Marcela Gracia Ibeas and Elisa Sanchez Loriga defied societal norms and legal boundaries by becoming Spain’s first same-sex couple to marry. This graphic novel illuminates their unwavering commitment to one another, as well as the personal sacrifices made for the sake of love and equality. Fine-line illustrations work harmoniously with a limited color palette, embodying both this stifling era and the blossoming of a love that transcends societal restrictions.
