Summary:

"On May 17, 1980, the Partido Comunista del Peru - Sendero Luminoso set fire to the electoral records of a small town in Ayacucho. Its objective was to ignite the flame of the revolution, a "spark in the meadow" that would end up burning all of Peru. "Rupay", in Quechua, is the ardor, the fire. This Rupay gathers stories of the political violence that devastated Peru for more than two decades. This comic gathers events belonging to the beginning of the conflict, between 1980 and 1985: The first subversive acts, the response of the government, the escalation of the path of light violence, its implementation strategies, the response of the press and the Peruvian intellects, and the brutality and impunity with which to be exercised repression"--Page 4 of cover.
