Books by Paco Roca

Admitted to a home for the elderly because he suffers from Alzheimers, for Ernest community life feels like an ordeal. But soon he accepts his new environment and decides to fight to escape from giving in to his awful destiny. An award-winning animated film, "La Tete En L'Air" has been made from the book.

This thrilling graphic novel, based on real events and which has been adapted into an AMC Plus miniseries (La Fortuna) starring Stanley Tucci, chronicles the intense legal and political battles sparked by the discovery of a priceless shipwreck.

Paco Roca returns with another moving graphic novel that combines a fresh look at historical events with humour, compassion, and narrative mastery. The Winter of the Cartoonist provides historical context and short profiles of these artists - all prideful, enterprising, restless - as they serve as perfect everyday heroes for all of those who have chased a dream, no matter how high the obstacles that stand in front of them.

Using the vivid, yet prievously undocumented, memories of Miguel Ruiz, a Spanish veteran exiled in France, Twists of Fate is a graphic novel exploration of WWII through an international lens. Ruiz was a member of ''La Nueve'', a company of soldiers that went straight from fighting for their homeland in the Spanish Civil War to a globe-spanning conflict. A necessary and timely look into what we remember and why he forget, Twists of Fate blends compassion, humanity, and sensitivity against a backdrop of horror and grief, in an ode to those who bravely stood up to, and beat back, violent fascism.
