Eisner-nominated Paco Roca (<em>The House<\/em>, 2019) is part of the Spanish graphic novel elite, already awarded virtually all the Spanish honors, and this is the work he\u2019s \u201calways wanted to create\u201d: both an homage to and expos\u00e9 of Editorial Bruguera, Spain\u2019s legendary comics publisher that owned its artists \u2013 and all their work.<\/p>\n<p>In 1957, five major cartoonists chose defection from Bruguera\u2019s control. For a difficult yet glorious year, the quintet created a thrilling new magazine,\u00a0<em>Tio Vio<\/em>, until reality forced four of the rebels back into Bruguera\u2019s clutches.\u00a0To begin at the end is to gather the background \u2013 cultural context, short biographies of the vast cast \u2013 that further elevates and illuminates Roca\u2019s graphic history, deftly translated into English by Andrea Rosenberg.<\/p>\n<p>That titular winter in 1958, presented in panels of colder blue background, is repeatedly interrupted by warm brown and reddish backgrounds as artists plot their creative escape. Page after page, Roca excels at show-don\u2019t-tell, keeping dialogue to a minimum, deftly relying on detailed expressions to radiate hope, frustration, determination, and, of course, rebellion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Review<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booklistonline.com\/The-Winter-of-the-Cartoonist-Paco-Roca\/pid=9736543\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">&#8220;Graphic Novels,&#8221; <em>Booklist<\/em>, September 1, 2020<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Readers<\/strong>: Adult<\/p>\n<p><strong>Published<\/strong>: 2020<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a book about rebels, reading against the presented order is highly recommended.
