N2 - This paper intends to explore the re-writing of the legend of Mocha Dick, done by Ortega and Martínez. In their work, they use comics' narrative resources to blend the tale of the big white whale with mapuche mythology, some testimonial chronicles, and Melville's famous novel. Through the study of diverse narrative resources from comics, it is intended to demonstrate how the text is constructed so that it gives a local revision of the legend of the whale. Hence, the aim is to show that Mocha Dick is not an adaptation but an autonomous appropriation which expands in complexity the myth that Reynolds and Melville gave birth.
