Frank ma obsesję na punkcie kwadratów. Wyjeżdża na wojnę, a kiedy wraca z frontu, jest wściekły: jak to możliwe, że w jego kraju, gdzie wszystko miało być idealne, czyli wyłącznie kwadratowe, pojawiły się trójkąty, prostokąty, a nawet koła?! Skandal! Frank postanawia za wszelką cenę przywrócić porządek. Pretekstem do tej wyjątkowej (także od strony graficznej i wizualnej) opowieści jest historyczna postać Francisca Franco hiszpańskiego dyktatora. Historia opowiedziana przez Ximo Abadię nie dotyczy jednak tylko Hiszpanii, ofiarami dyktatury wciąż bowiem padają liczne społeczeństwa na świecie, są kraje, w których konsekwentnie ogranicza się wolności obywatelskie i którym dyktatura bezpośrednio zagraża. Niedługi tekst i seria szalenie sugestywnych ilustracji tworzą razem zmyślny obraz wydarzeń pozbawiony osądu, ale będący zarazem mocnym świadectwem tego, w jak głębokie zło może zabrnąć jeden człowiek, pociągając przy tym tłum, potrafiący bardzo długo ukrywać prawdę, pod przykrywką wygodnego życia. Dyktator to nie jest książka historyczna. To wielki znak zapytania o nasze prawa, o wolność. No i jak wszyscy wiemy: to, co zostawimy cuchnące i w stanie gnicia, samo się nie wyczyści, raczej zacznie wydzielać truciznę i szybko, acz niepostrzeżenie, rozprzestrzeniać wokół nas.
