This bond is explored through the principles of Cicero and Aristotle, as well as Vladimir Propp's (1928) narratological framework, specifically his functional analysis of hostile donors who transform into auxiliaries. These principles are illustrated through an examination of the Hispanic comics El Guerrero del Antifaz (1944) and El Capitán Trueno (1956), highlighting their connections to the Hispanic chivalric tradition and the relationships of friendship and brotherhood among knights. Additionally, the article demonstrates that the bond forged in battle can also extend to relationships between men and women, supported by various examples from these comics and the broader Hispanic chivalric tradition. En el presente artículo se explora el vínculo de amistad que surge entre dos personajes narrativos a raíz de un combate cuerpo a cuerpo a raíz del cual el personaje vencido se somete o se hace amigo del personaje vencedor. Se explora este vínculo a través de los preceptos de Cicerón y Aristóteles y, desde un punto de vista narratológico, siguiendo el análisis funcional de los donantes hostiles que se transforman en auxiliares de Vladimir Propp (1928). Estos preceptos quedan ilustrados con diversos análisis de esta ocurrencia en los cómics hispánicos El Guerrero del Antifaz (1944) y El Capitán Trueno (1956), así como sus deudas con la tradición caballeresca hispánica y sus relaciones de amistad y hermandad entre caballeros. Se confirma, asimismo, que el afecto surgido en batalla también puede darse entre hombres y mujeres gracias a numerosos ejemplos provenientes de dichos cómics y de la tradición caballeresca hispánica.
