Clara de noche ("Clara at night") is a series of comic strips created in 1992 by comic book writers Carlos Trillo, Eduardo Maicas, and the cartoonist Jordi Bernet.[1] It was published weekly in the Spanish magazine El Jueves, starting from number 772. After 1243 consecutive weeks of circulation, the series ended in 2015 in Spain.[2] It had stopped the year before in Argentina (September 2014), where it was simultaneously published in a young persons supplement called No in the newspaper Página/12.[3][4] Over 1,000 episodes of the comic strip[5] were also published in the Italian magazine Skorpio.[6] French, German, Greek[6] and Croatian translations were also made.[7] The series has been compiled periodically into albums,[8] and is considered one of the most important works of the three creators.[9]
The central character is the prostitute Clara, and the cartoon reflects her amusing adventures and misadventures as a sex worker, along with the peculiar characters that get involved with her and her son Pablito.[10]
