New Manifestations from the Creation and Thought of the FantasticPérez Valero, Vicente J.; Cuéllar Santiago, FranciscoThe figure of the monster is, almost from its very definition, a product of the imagination and the scientific and technological skills of its creator, who is usually described as a prodigious and exceptional individual. Beyond the meanings conveyed by representations of the monstrous, however, the central question of all works of fiction that use this resource in the realm of the fantastic is also that of the role of man and the task he sets himself as creator and, therefore, as a true monster, according to the etymological meaning of the Latin -monstrum: something unusual, exceptional or a prodigy contrary to the natural order-. The question manifests itself in different ways in the realms of cinema, comics and, of course, literature.
