Ximo Abadía narrates through words and vibrant colours the dictatorship of Franco, insisting on the need to remember one of the hardest periods in history. Between the two reading prisms, the image and the text, both very concise and intense, it remains up to the reader to interpret the story, to delve deeper into the symbolisms.

The art style of Frank by Abadia Ximo kept me entertained for a good five minutes - that's how long it took for me to plow through this graphic novel. Frank just skims the surface of Spanish dictator Francisco Franco's rise to power and rule with very little being fleshed out into storylines. This might be a great introductory read for younger readers (10+ years old), I would not recommend to older readers. There's just not enough there to make it a worthwhile read. Overall, great art style, but lacking the depth of story to keep me entertained.
