Abstract
One of the most important features of the recent Spanish production of graphic novels consists in its evident compromise with the historic and literary reality of the country. Many scriptwriters and sketchers, in fact, have chosen to analyze some of the more significant periods of the Spanish history and literature in order to reproduce them in their works through different graphic techniques and narrative strategies. The thin equilibrium which is reached between the representation of the historic and literary reality and the employment of the artistic fiction can be considered, then, one of the most impressive features within their works. The aim of this article is to analyze how some Spanish contemporary authors of graphic novels wish to reinterpret history of well-known personalities and to think about the different aims and techniques used in theirs works.

Summary
Por lo que se acaba de exponer, es evidente que la observación del pasado a través de perspectivas novedosas resulta ser un recurso distintivo de la. Se inspiran en ella dos novelas gráficas en las que el relato de la vida y muerte del poeta granadino Federico García Lorca constituye el ideal punto de partida para una reflexión más profunda sobre la importancia del testimonio como instrumento imprescindible para la construcción de una memoria individual y colectiva conscientes de los errores del pasado y realmente eficaces a la hora de preparar a los individuos para la superación del trauma heredado. En efecto, se relata la apasionada investigación sobre la muerte de García Lorca llevada a cabo por el escritor Agustín Penón en los años ’50 del siglo XX y el protagonista real de la novela, por lo tanto, no es el poeta granadino. Una vez más, por el título de la novela, que pone en guardia al público contemporáneo contra las trampas del olvido y de la indiferencia que podrían empujarnos a cometer los mismos trágicos errores del pasado
