Pedro Vera compiles political caricatures in 'Titanes del bochorno'

Pedro Vera, cartoonist for the Spanish satirical magazine El Jueves and creator of the strip 'Ortega y Pacheco', has published the first volume of his series 'Titanes del bochorno' (Astiberri, 2026). The book collects around a hundred caricatures from recent years, targeting Spanish politicians from local councilors to prime ministers. Subjects include Mariano Rajoy, King Juan Carlos I, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, Santiago Abascal, Cristina Cifuentes, José María Aznar, Pablo Casado, Íñigo Errejón, José Luis Ábalos, Pablo Iglesias, and Carmen Calvo, as well as institutions like the Government of Spain, Podemos, and the newspaper La Razón. Vera describes his style as sometimes 'harmful', exaggerating physical features to turn faces into canvases. The volume focuses exclusively on Spanish politics.
