En este artículo, además de presentar una selección de cómics, me centro en algunos de los elementos que convierten al cómic en un medio ideal para la divulgación científica, tales como la antropomorfización, las metáforas visuales, los elementos ficcionales, el lenguaje adaptado a un público no experto y a sus necesidades informativas, la oralidad, o los procedimientos reformulativos, así como en la importancia de dominar el medio para que los cómics científico-médicos sean accesibles y atractivos para sus destinatarios. Abstract More and more public and private institutions, and, in particular, scientists are turning to the language of comics to bring to the general population the most diverse subjects related to the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19. This paper offers a selection of comics, and focuses on some of the elements that make comics an ideal medium for science popularization, such as anthropomorphism, visual metaphors, fictional elements, language adapted to a non-expert audience and its information needs, spoken language, or reformulation procedures. It also focuses on the importance of mastering the medium in order to make scientific-medical comics accessible
and engaging for their target audience.

Sin embargo, la información que se ofrece es, cuando menos, insuficiente. El objetivo de este trabajo es arrojar luz sobre este campo de suma utilidad para profesionales de la salud, pacientes, cuidadores y población general; un campo que, en parte, no es tan reciente como se piensa. / In Spain, the term 'graphic medicine' has been swarming through blogs, websites and social networks throughout the last two years. However, the information offered is inadequate at best. The aim of this work is to shed light on this extremely useful field for health professionals, patients, caregivers and the general population; a field that may not be as new as it is believed.
