Los desastres de la guerra

Gabriel Araceli, who witnesses the entry of Napoléon's troops into Madrid, confronts them and puts his life at risk. In addition, he moves away from his girlfriend, Inés, who is staying in the capital of the country in the house of a shady relative, Mauro Requejo, always ready to take advantage of the worst circumstances. After the executions carried out by the invading army, Gabriel leaves for Andalusia to join the troops of General Castaños, who is preparing to face three Napoleonic divisions, a priori much better armed. José Pablo García adapts two of the National Episodes by Benito Pérez Galdós to comics, where the epic of the people of Madrid is narrated, infected to the rest of Spain, which, with hardly any means, defended its independence against a military power.
