El Sueño del Monstruo marks Enki Bilal’s return to the comic world after a six-year hiatus. This first volume of the “Tetralogía del Monstruo” delves into themes of memory, identity, and the fragmentation of Yugoslavia, Bilal’s birthplace. The narrative intertwines individual and collective memories, blending past, present, and future, reflecting on the lessons (or lack thereof) learned from the 20th century. Bilal’s evocative storytelling and artwork offer a profound exploration of personal and historical consciousness. Published by Norma Editorial Editorial in 1998, this hardcover edition comprises 72 color pages.

Enki Bilal is a French-Yugoslavian graphic novelist and filmmaker celebrated for his dystopian visions and moody, painterly aesthetic. His “Nikopol Trilogy” explores post-apocalyptic futures laced with myth, politics, and decay. Bilal’s art is coldly elegant—fusing mechanical precision with surreal melancholy. A master of science fiction allegory, he uses comics to interrogate memory, identity, and power. His work remains foundational to European speculative visual storytelling.
