The book Federico , by Ilu Ros, is a graphic biography of Federico García Lorca that stands out for its illustrated and deeply documentary approach. Published by Lumen, this comic fuses investigative work with an evocative and personal visual narrative, capturing both the poet's public and emotional life. It is recognized for its free and expressive linework and has been valued as one of the best comics of 2021. Through this work, Ros introduces the reader to a dialogue between generations, where Lorca's words resonate in a visual style that blends past and present, inviting a better understanding of his cultural impact and emotional legacy.

In this book, we hear the voices of those who knew him, from his close family to the legion of friends who frequented him during his Granada years, at the lyrical revels of the Residencia de Estudiantes, or throughout his intense literary life. And, of course, his own: that of the poet, the playwright, the lecturer, with the clarity of ideas that have the same force today; and, finally, the naked voice of the son, the brother, and the enamored lover. Ilu Ros blends voices and words with his illustrations, which draw us in like the magnetic personality of Federico García Lorca: an icon for past, present, and future generations.
