Spanish term or phrase: historietas en sepia
Hi
I can´t find a good translation for "historietas en sepia" - the author gives examples such as "Chamaco chico", "Pepín", "Paquín".

I am not sure if "historietas en sepia" is exactly the same as "historietas seriadas" - the author uses them both...

Thanks for your help!

I think 'historietas seriadas' are 'comic strip series'
