¡Bienvenido! Welcome! El libro de Cristal is a collaborative comic project made between Cuban and Cuban-American archivists, historians and creators. It emerged out of a dissertation project called "Hero Genesis and Crisis: Comic Books and Identity Formation in Revolutionary Cuba." This project has been generously supported by the Guiliano Fellowship at Stony Brook University. This is the first of five numbers in the El libro de Cristal story arc.
