Los surcos del azar

In Los surcos del azar, Paco Roca brings his signature warmth and humanism to a little-known chapter of history, tracing the exile of Spanish Republicans who fought in the French Resistance during World War II. Published by Astiberri Ediciones since 2013, this single-volume graphic novel follows a veteran’s return to a French village that holds the key to forgotten sacrifices and brotherhood. Roca’s clean, expressive art and measured storytelling turn a political odyssey into an intimate meditation on memory, duty, and the long shadow of war. It stands as a poignant tribute to the displaced soldiers who helped liberate Europe but were erased from its official narratives.
