Vilma Navarro-Daniels, Professor of Spanish and Film Studies, has just published a peer-reviewed interview with the internationally acclaimed comic book author Marcela Trujillo (also known as Maliki). During her professional leave in Chile (spring of 2024), Vilma was invited to Marcela Trujillo’s studio in Santiago, where they discussed the development of graphic novels by Chilean women authors, the evolution of Trujillo’s work from autobiography to fiction, as well as the representation of the female body and female eroticism in her comic strips, diaries, and graphic novels. Grande, Maliki!
