Graphic novel, Frida Kahlo, Mexicanity, political commitment, illustrationAbstract
Although the numerous graphic novels about Frida Kahlo focus on the biography of the artist, contributing to the consolidation of a myth that alternates the topics of feminism and exoticism. For this reason, in this article we have opted for a thematic selection that has biased psychobiography in favour of border issues such as Mexi-canness and political commitment. Through an analytical reading of the creative pro-cess of scriptwriters and illustrators, their attitude of flâneuse has been emphasised, thanks to literal drawings or drawings derived from symbolic exchanges. It is about outlining that there are different ways of approaching an artist that transcend her per-sonal life, as well as there are different illustrators and scriptwriters who go beyond appearances.
