Fresh Comics

Spanish comics superstar Paco Roca investigates the true story of the five cartoonists who responded to the dark times of the Franco regime and poor working conditions at publishing titan, Editorial Bruguera by starting their own magazine, Tio Vivo. The corporation, however, began trying to thwart their efforts, turning their battle into a real-life David and Goliath tale. Roca combines humor, compassion, and narrative mastery with profiles of the artists as they serve as heroes for all of those who have chased a dream, no matter how high the obstacles.
