El invierno del dibujante

In 2010, Astiberri Ediciones published El invierno del dibujante, a standalone graphic novel by Spanish creator Paco Roca. The work explores the struggles and friendships among a group of artists during the repressive Franco-era Spain, focusing on their personal and professional challenges. Roca’s warm, detailed artwork and humanistic storytelling make this a poignant, historically grounded meditation on creativity under censorship. It stands as a significant work in modern Spanish comics, celebrated for its nuanced portrait of a generation of cartoonists.
