Carla Berrocal (1983) studied illustration and graphic design in Madrid.
She wrote reviews about comics in The Comic Books Guide and collaborated on the same subject for the radio program of the Circle of Fine Arts. In 2004 she published her first comic book and began her professional career as an illustrator.
Since 2017 she collaborates with the Madrid City Council newspaper M21 Magazine, creating comics with a strong journalistic and investigative character.
In 2019 she received a grant from the Royal Academy of Spain in Rome to develop Doña Concha, a comic project inspired by the life of Concha Piquer, published by Reservoir Books in 2021. In 2024, the same publisher will publish La tierra yerma (The Waste Land), a feminist epic with fantasy elements set in Salamanca.
In 2025, the National Archives of the Ministry of Culture publishes the comic La puerta de la memoria (The Door of Memory), a fanzine that recounts her experience of going to the archives and drawing all its history from a perspective that seeks to reformulate the image of the institution and connect it to citizenship in a different way.
She currently continues to work in her own studio, teaches workshops on comics and graphic novels in various institutions and collaborates with the radio channel Cadena SER in the program A Vivir que son dos días (You only live once).
