La Casa #[nn]

Paco Roca's La Casa opens with a cover that feels immediately lived-in and reflective — a lone figure stands in an overgrown backyard, garden hose in hand, facing a sun-baked wall lined with potted plants and weathered outdoor furniture, a basket of discarded belongings in the foreground. The warm amber tones and quiet clutter of the scene suggest a story rooted in memory, family, and the weight of a place left behind. Published by Fantagraphics in 2019, this is Roca working at his most intimate, where every detail of a neglected garden seems to carry emotional freight.
