Comics as Cultural Heritage: Dolmen Editorial’s Updates for November 2025

The Spanish publisher Dolmen reaffirms its commitment to graphic excellence, the historical memory of comics, and the recognition of the ninth art as a universal cultural heritage. Its offerings for November 2025 not only reissue classics but also expand the selection with rigorous essays, restored rescues, and editorial proposals that engage with contemporary issues.

Among the most anticipated releases is the complete edition of «Prince Valiant 1937–1943», a masterpiece by Harold R. Foster. This large-format hardcover edition collects the early pages of a saga that set the artistic standard for adventure comics and solidified high-quality visual storytelling. Dolmen’s reissue is not just a nostalgic celebration but an effort to bring one of the foundational milestones of world comics to new generations.

Authored by Antoni Guiral, one of the most authoritative voices on comic essays in Spain, this large-format volume revisits American newspaper strips from 1894 to 1928. From Yellow Kid to Little Nemo, Guiral reviews the germ of the comic industry with academic rigor and a passionate narrative style. It is an essential work for both scholars and readers interested in the origins of modern graphic language.

In a lighter yet equally interesting tone, Dolmen presents new editions of two significant references in European humorous comics:

  • «La Pandilla 1964–1976» by Belgian Jean Roba, which compiles hilarious situations and adventures with a social background, ideal for nostalgia seekers and collectors.

  • «Benito Boniato: Comic Hero» by Carlos and Luis Fresno, represents a complete and chronological restoration of this Spanish series, including graphic tributes to figures from universal comics, from westerns to science fiction.

For those keen on biting satire and postmodern science fiction, Dolmen offers a complete edition of «D.R. & Quinch» by Alan Moore and Alan Davis, featuring the original stories published in 2000 AD. Corrosive humor, social critique, and absolute chaos combine in this essential work of British comics.

Contemporary proposals with provocative approaches are also featured:

  • «Impía» by J.V. Gachs, a black-and-white graphic novel that blends eroticism, theology, and apocalyptic thriller.

  • «The Chronicles of Nyur Nyur», an ambitious post-apocalyptic saga that redraws the boundaries of the zombie genre with narrative depth and visual experimentation.

The editorial line also includes titles such as:

  • «My Mother is an Ocean», an illustrated album about contemporary motherhood with texts by Marta Montalvá and illustrations by Luna Pérez Visairas.

  • Reference essays on pop culture like the double packs dedicated to Star Wars, Miyazaki, and Tarzan, each accompanied by critical analyses, unpublished documents, and historical context.

Closing the month is issue number 369 of Dolmen magazine, which offers news, critique, and reflection on franchises like G.I. Joe, the Robins of DC Comics, the universe of Erik Larsen, and the latest audiovisual developments like Marvel Zombies and Peacemaker.

Dolmen continues to support quality content, the rescue of classics, and the creation of bridges between generations of readers. Its catalog for November 2025 is a clear demonstration of how comics can serve as both an object of study and popular enjoyment.
