Abstract

In the context of a ‘biographical turn’ in scholarship, theorizations of comics as scholarship and a recent publishing boom of biographical comics in Europe, this paper argues for the ‘biocomic’—beyond being a pervasive object of study—as a knowledge-making modality capable of critically contributing to myriad fields of scholarship. This is achieved through a case study of the biographical construction of Salvador Dalí focusing on two comics from France and Spain: Dalí por Baudoin (Edmond Baudoin, 2012) and El juego lúgubre (Paco Roca, 2012). I position these comics within the so-called ‘Dalí renaissance’ taking place within Spanish Cultural Studies.
