MARISCAL. THE JOY OF LIVING

The transition from dictatorship to democracy; the birth of the underground comic; the design boom in Spain; the miraculous 1990s. Mariscal’s life and work paint a portrait of an entire era. The story of a man who conquered the world and had to lose everything to rediscover himself.
