Overview
- The publisher withdrew Arqueología e Historia No. 63 and apologized, calling the cover an “inadmissible error.”
- In its statement, Desperta Ferro said the illustrator deliberately distorted provided documentation and it has ended the collaboration.
- The recall followed a reader’s notice that the pendant modeled on the Irulegi hand had been altered to display the word “España.”
- Online reaction has focused on the cover figures’ strong resemblance to actors Dani Rovira and Clara Lago, a similarity also noted by the Sociedad de Ciencias Aranzadi.
- The publisher says it may reissue the magazine with a new cover, and no replacement has been released.
