Castaways



Drawn to one another but constantly pushed or pulled in different directions by work, family, and life, Alejandra and Julio circle in and out of each other's lives, while first denying and then coming to accept the fact that by the time they are ready to love one another, the chance has already passed.
 
Intensely emotive and poignant, this stunning graphic novel from Laura Pérez and Pablo Monforte depicts themes of maturity, responsibility, and human connection. Available in English for the first time with translation by Silvia Perea Labayen.  
 

Madrid in the eighties, and Barcelona ten years later. In these two vibrant locales, Castaways follows the relationship between Alejandra and Julio against the backdrop of these poetic urban spaces where dreams, love, and uncertainty intertwine.

Praise for Castaways

“The relationship in the couple is strong enough to hold the readership on their toes until the last page. Thus, the themes of nostalgia and the passing of time are at the heart of this very good 200-page album.”—Comixtrip (translated from French)
