L'aportació de Joan Vila a la literatura popular: la revista "Virolet"

Abstract

Summary: This article examines the role of the illustrator Joan Vila i Pujol (D’Ivori) (1890–1947) in folk literature, with special focus to his collaborations in the journal Virolet, a children’s supplement of En Patufet, published by Baguñà between 1922 and 1931. Among them, this article pays attention to the adaptation in the form of a comic strip of some of the folktales originally published by the Grimm Brothers in the Kinder und Hausmärchen, before the appearance of children’s and youth journals that will incorporate comic book as a regular artistic form. Keywords: folktale, Grimm, comic strip, D’Ivori, folk literature
