Abstract
Onomatopoeia is a fundamental expressive resource in comics that synthesizes text and image. Its main function is to represent inarticulate sounds foreign to language, such as animal voices. When dealing with extinct creatures for whom there is no sound record, as dinosaurs and other Mesozoic fauna, onomatopoeia takes on a speculative dimension whose concreteness depends on the imagination of both the author and the reader. The use of contemporary references is the most common technique, but there are also more personal works that have created their own universe.
