The Journeys of Alexander Icaro

Paco Roca's The Journeys of Alexander Icaro (2004–present, SAF Comics) is a singular, one-issue comic that follows its titular character through a series of introspective, globe-trotting vignettes. Known for his warm, humanistic storytelling, Roca serves as both writer and artist, crafting a quiet, meditative work that captures the bittersweet nature of travel and self-discovery. Though brief, this series stands as an early showcase of the lyrical, slice-of-life style that would define Roca's acclaimed career.
