Paco Roca Explores Love and Memory in New Graphic Novel 'El viaje'

Paco Roca, the famous Spanish comic artist known for titles like 'Arrugas' and 'El abismo del olvido', has just released a new graphic novel called 'El viaje' through Astiberri. This story delves into the end of love and the complexities of lasting relationships, inspired by Roca's own past experiences with separation. He shared, "Memory is the present; thinking it’s the past is a mistake." Rather than providing clear answers about stable relationships, the book raises numerous questions. Roca views these partnerships as 'a human invention because it's more practical to live as a couple than alone.' It beautifully combines honesty, tenderness, and humility, continuing his exploration of memory in romantic contexts.
