{"product_id":"the-winter-of-the-cartoonist-paco-roca-9781683963240","title":"The Winter of the Cartoonist","description":"In 1957, Editorial Bruguera was one of Spain's largest publishing houses, putting out hugely popular weekly magazines and comics for young and old -- while retaining all rights and creative control of their artists' work. Spanish comics superstar Paco Roca investigates the true story of five cartoonists who, spurred by poor working conditions, arbitrary editorial edicts, and nationwide dictatorial rule, went on a quest for creative freedom. Little did they know that the corporation had begun actively trying to thwart their distribution and publishing efforts, turning their battle into a real-life David and Goliath tale. \u003cem\u003eThe Winter of the Cartoonist\u003c\/em\u003e provides historical context and short profiles of these artists as they serve as everyday heroes for all of those who have chased a dream, no matter how high the obstacles that stand in front of them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paco Roca\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1683963245\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781683963240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fantagraphics Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/04\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.80w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2020 pg. 75\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/04\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2020 pg. 68","brand":"Paco Roca","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44048131031295,"sku":"9781683963240","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_80871123-4fef-4777-8391-0a451f6a37d3.jpg?v=1684994068","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-winter-of-the-cartoonist-paco-roca-9781683963240","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
