A GIFT FOR A GHOST

Borja González is a Spanish cartoonist whose dreamlike graphic novels blend gothic undertones with poetic minimalism. Known for works like “The Black Holes” and “Grito Nocturno”, his stories often follow adolescent protagonists navigating eerily silent landscapes—where memory, folklore, and identity blur. González’s linework is clean and refined, yet his compositions evoke a haunting atmosphere, rich with visual symbolism. He frequently eschews text, relying instead on pacing and gesture to communicate. His aesthetic, inspired by 19th-century engravings and underground comix, positions him as a modern mythmaker, drawing new emotional terrain with each silent panel.

Borja González’s gothic, dreamlike story bridging two eras. In 1856, Teresa, a young aristocrat, is more interested in writing avant-garde horror poetry than conforming to societal expectations. In 2016, three teenage girls—Gloria, Laura, and Cristina—form a punk band called the Black Holes, despite lacking musical talent. As they embark on their musical journey, strange events unfold, intertwining their lives with Teresa’s across time. This graphic novel explores themes of youthful dreams, artistic expression, and the ethereal connections that transcend centuries.
