Abstract

This article analyses the work "Robô Esmaga", by Alexandre S. Lourenço. With the aim of demonstrating how he constructs his stories. To do so, this study looks at some of the theoretical notions of sequential art, discussing the ideas of Thierry Groensteen, Paulo Ramos and Barbara Postema about the nature of comics. The use of layout, speech bubbles, margins and the concepts of arthrology and the 'spatio-topical system' are some of the resources involved in this analysis.
