Bases para una genealogía de la no-ficción en el cómic / Bases for a Genealogy of Non-Fiction in Comics

Non-fiction comics have successfully integrated into educational practice, taking advantage of their increased relevance and thematic diversity. However, it is essential for their proper treatment to understand the connection of this form of comics with its tradition and history. In this work, the evolution of this form of comics from various representations of reality through drawn expression is analyzed, starting from taxonomic definitions of the genre. The objective is to chronologically trace a genealogy that identifies the origins of non-fiction comics as part of artistic and cultural production. This research, conducted broadly in its criteria, allows for connecting from the earliest forms of drawn narration to contemporary documentary comics, identifying different key examples in their evolution from the first expressions in the Middle Ages to the early 20th-century educational comics. This establishes links and relationships that facilitate their inclusion in the classroom as a didactic tool from various perspectives.
