This presentation examines Milestones of Latin American Democracy, a graphic novel by Pedro X. Molina, as an innovative and accessible medium for narrating the historical struggles and achievements of democracy across the region. Developed as part of a broader initiative to engage public audiences—particularly younger generations—the work reimagines traditional political analysis through visual storytelling, combining historical milestones with compelling illustrations and concise narrative text.

Pedro X. Molina is an internationally acclaimed editorial cartoonist who has won a host of prestigious awards for his work, including the Vaclav Havel Award for Creative Dissent (International), the Gabo Award for Excellence in Journalism (Latin America), the Maria Moors Cabot Prize from Columbia University (USA), The Courage in Cartooning award from Cartoonists Rights Network (International), and the Excellence in Journalism Award granted by the Inter-American Press Association. His work appears in many prestigious newspapers and news websites throughout Latin America, the United States, and Europe.
