La Zorra y el Cuervo #162

La Zorra y el Cuervo was a prominent Cuban comic book series that adapted the classic fables of Aesop, La Fontaine, and Samaniego into a serialized format. First appearing in the mid-1960s, the publication became a staple of Cuban childhoods, distributed widely by the Editorial Juvenil. The series was designed to provide educational and moral storytelling through accessible, anthropomorphic character designs that mirrored the simplicity of the source material while incorporating local cultural flavor.

The character designs and illustrations for this long-running series were produced by a rotating collective of Cuban artists working under the state-sponsored editorial system. Issue number 162 reflects the aesthetic shift seen in later years of the series, moving toward more stylized, bold line work that favored readability and expression. It remains a significant cultural artifact, valued today as a window into the evolution of Cuban graphic arts and the enduring legacy of fables in mid-century socialist literary pedagogy.
